Fellowship Application: Traditional Track and Analytics and Modeling Track

The application period opens September 1. Learn how to start preparing the required information early. Visit Prepare & Submit Fellowship Application.

Overview

The PE Fellowship selection process is extremely competitive. The program selects about 10 Traditional Track fellows and 10 Analytics and Modeling Track fellows each year. Most fellows are placed in assignments at CDC headquarters in Atlanta, Georgia. It is possible that some fellows will be assigned to other states or public health agencies.

To apply to the PE Fellowship, applicants must:

• Meet the requirements described on the eligibility page.
• Be willing to commit to a two-year, full-time program.
• Be willing to relocate to assignment location.

The application process is fair and inclusive. The program leverages the input of the multi-disciplinary decision science community at CDC. It focuses on academic preparedness, letters of recommendation, research and work experience, publications or evidence of publication potential, methodological and data skills, and a personal statement.
