CDC Steven M. Teutsch Prevention Effectiveness Fellowship

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

About the Fellowship

The PE Fellowships were begun in 1995 to establish capability within CDC to conduct prevention-effectiveness studies. The fellowships are for individuals with doctoral degrees and expertise in quantitative methods and policy analysis who wish to gain experience and training in assessing the effectiveness of prevention strategies.

Fellows take a lead role in designing and conducting studies, work closely with national and international experts in public health, provide technical assistance throughout CDC on specific projects or methods, and have the opportunity to teach CDC courses in PE methods. In addition, fellows are provided educational opportunities through seminars, training, and professional continuing education in public health and economics.

Fellowships are for a period of 2 years and commence in late June. Each fellow is assigned to a Centers, Institute, and Offices (CIOs) at CDC specializing in a particular health area, such as infectious disease, chronic disease, environmental health, or HIV/AIDS. Technical collaboration and guidance are provided by the sponsoring CIO and by the staff in the PE Fellowship Program.
