Early Career Public Health Scholars Service

The CDC Foundation needs early career maternal-fetal medicine and reproductive infectious disease scholars to deliver public health services remotely from their home institutions. Scholars will develop projects using CDC data systems, meet program curriculum requirements, complete 1,400 hours, and travel to Atlanta for orientation and a conference. Home institutions must fully financially support and employ the scholars throughout the 12-month program term, as the program itself provides no relocation expenses or budget beyond designated travel funding. To be eligible, applicants must be USA-based organizations or matched first-year fellows with support from a home institution willing to sign a Memorandum of Agreement. Applicants must digitally submit a CV, a cover letter, a writing sample, and home institution assurance via an online link or email by Friday, October 23, 2026. The buyer evaluates candidates through virtual interviews based on home institution recommendations, public health experience, and project fit with CDC priorities.
