The CDC Foundation announces an opportunity for an individual with

The Fellow will support a three-year project (currently at the end of Year
1) focused on the adaptation of evidence-based interventions in violence
prevention.  In particular, the project team will examine how developers,
implementers and communities adapt evidence-based interventions and how
adaptation influences implementation.  Qualitative and quantitative methods
will be used to address study aims.  The project is funded by a grant from
the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation through the CDC Foundation.  

 

The Fellow will be expected to be self-directed, able to lead components of
the project and able to expertly facilitate collaboration and cooperation
among team members, partners and contractors, as s/he works alongside team
members of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's National Center
for Injury Prevention and Control, Division of Violence Prevention.

conducting analyses 

*         Project management

*         Developing reports and papers   

The ideal Fellow will have outstanding interpersonal and leadership skills,
excellent writing skills, extensive experience conducting qualitative
studies, as well as experience implementing evidence-based interventions.
The Fellow also will need to be expert at fostering collaborative
relationships and bringing together multiple perspectives to advance project
goals.  

 

In addition, the preferred Fellow will have experience with implementing and
adapting evidence-based interventions or practices and some knowledge of
violence prevention strategies.
