Abstract: This information collection is for the electronic collection of data for CDC fellowships through the Fellowship Management System (FMS). The target audience is professionals in public health, epidemiology, medicine, and other fields applying for fellowships at CDC. FMS will allow fellowships applicants and alumni to update their information online, in a single database. The needs to track alumni in a secure, online directory include: in a national public health emergency, the agency will have accessible contact information of alumni with mission-critical skills. CDC will have data to document the impact of the fellowships on the career paths of participants, and on the science and practice of public health. And, alumni will benefit with networks for job finding, staffing, and collaborating. FMS provides an efficient and integrated system and promotes the use of secure data and system standards to improve data collection.
