See the message below. I corresponded with Adam Skelton about his message this morning. He emphasized that potential candidates must be US citizens. He did not mention green card holders, but I think they would be eligible.

Subject: CDC Steven M. Teutsch Prevention Effectiveness Fellowship

Hello Dr. Cawley,

As we sometimes do, we have had a late request for a CDC Steven M. Teutsch Prevention Effectiveness Fellow to start in August. This fellow would be assigned to the Division of Reproductive Health to work on two projects of strategic significance to the Agency. One is an economic evaluation of a five-year Teen Unintended Pregnancy project (this is one of Dr. Frieden’s “Winnable Battles”) and the other is an economic evaluation of Title X programs. Do you know of any recent graduates (due to time constraints, we are limited to US citizens) who might be appropriate for this fellowship position, interested in public health economics, and available? If you don’t know of anyone at Cornell, can you send some feelers out to colleagues at other universities?

The CDC established the two-year, post-doctoral Steven M. Teutsch Prevention Effectiveness Fellowship in 1995 to address an on-going demand in the field of public health for quantitative policy analysis, health economics-based inquiry, and integrative health services research. Prevention effectiveness aims to assess the public health impact of policies, programs, and practices by determining their effectiveness, quality, and cost. At CDC, prevention effectiveness research includes the use of econometric, decision, simulation, and operations analysis and modeling to understand determinants of health, morbidity, mortality, health inequalities, healthcare use, and expenditures.

Thanks (!) in advance.

Adam
