CDC Surveillance and Information Management Fellowship
*Applications will be reviewed on a rolling-basis.
A research opportunity is currently available in the Surveillance, Information Management, and Statistics Office (SIMSO) in the Division of Foodborne, Waterborne, and Environmental Diseases (DFWED) in the National Center for Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious Diseases (NCEZID) at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in Atlanta, Georgia. SIMSO provides critical coordination and oversight of division-wide Surveillance and Information Management (SIM) activities.
Throughout the course of the research project with SIMSO, the participant will learn about the management of division wide surveillance and information management activities including activities related to enterprise lifecycle performance cycle governance responsibilities (e.g., project initiation plans and stage gate reviews), activities related to information system security (e.g., annual security reviews), train on surveillance program and evaluation summaries, and planning meetings and webinars. Under the guidance of a mentor, the participant will learn to cover a range of activities with surveillance and information system management activities, including organizing SIM documentation (e.g., data use agreements, security paperwork, etc.), learning to create a database of CDC-wide SIM contacts and SMEs, learning to track documents in SIMSO SharePoint and OneDrive, activities related to coordinating regular evaluations of surveillance and information systems; and training on administrative and logistic aspects of coordinating meetings and webinars with CDC-wide SIM contacts and SMEs.
