CDC Office and Location: A research opportunity is available in the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Global Health Center's Office of Communications (GHC), located in Atlanta, Georgia.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) works to protect America from health, safety, and security threats, both foreign and in the U.S. Whether diseases start at home or abroad, are chronic or acute, curable or preventable, human error or deliberate attack, CDC fights disease and supports communities and citizens to do the same.

CDC’s global health mission is to protect people in the United States and around the world by preventing, detecting, and responding to disease threats—anytime and anywhere. For more than 70 years, CDC has supported global public health system strengthening, trailblazing science and innovation, and evidence-based decision-making.

The Global Health Center (GHC), alongside other CDC centers working globally, implements CDC’s mission by focusing on:

  • Stopping health threats at their source before they spread to the United States and other countries
  • Containing disruptive global disease outbreaks
  • Using global data for disease prevention and mitigation programs in the United States and other countries
  • Saving lives and improving health globally


Research Project: The CDC Global Health Center (GHC) Office of Communications advances GHC’s global health priorities by raising the visibility of GHC’s work among key audiences, and building capacity of internal and external stakeholders and to tell GHC’s story effectively.

The ORISE Fellow will train with the GHC Office of Communications and will gain communication skills and experience. The training participant will develop communication skills that can be applied in a variety of public health settings, including: writing for internal and external audiences; content development for digital channels; communication strategy and planning; plain language.

Learning Objectives: During the fellowship, the participant may be engaged and trained in:

  • Developing, writing, editing, and disseminating messages, materials, talking points, presentations, fact sheets, reports, newsletters, web pages, and social media to rapidly educate stakeholders, partners, the public, and other audiences about global public health programs and impact.
  • Developing digital and web-based communication activities.
  • Analyzing digital metrics and crafting recommendations for communication materials.
  • Collaborating within GHC and between GHC programs and other CDC communication staff and stakeholders.
  • Preparing a variety of written documents and materials for diverse audiences.


Mentor(s): The mentor for this opportunity is Nili Larish ([email protected]). If you have questions about the nature of the research please contact the mentor(s).

Anticipated Appointment Start Date: 2024/2025. Start date is flexible and will depend on a variety of factors.

Appointment Length: The appointment will initially be for one year, but may be renewed upon recommendation of CDC and is contingent on the availability of funds.

Level of Participation: The appointment is full time.

Participant Stipend: Stipend rates may vary based on numerous factors, including opportunity, location, education, and experience. If you are interviewed, you can inquire about the exact stipend rate at that time and if selected, your appointment offer will include the monthly stipend rate.

Citizenship Requirements: This opportunity is available to U.S. citizens only.
