The Fellowship Management System (FMS) provides an efficient and effective electronic mechanism for collecting and processing fellowship application data and fellowship host site assignment proposals; selecting qualified candidates; matching selected fellowship host site assignments with applicants; maintaining a current alumni database; generating reports; and documenting the impact of fellowships on alumni careers. FMS optimizes CDC's ability to provide continuous fellowship service delivery that builds and sustains public health capacity and helps to save lives and protect people from health threats. FMS was established to support making revisions to questions and instructions to accurately reflect evolving fellowship eligibility requirements, provide clarification of existing questions, and accommodate changing needs of the fellowship programs. The requested revisions to the currently approved FMS include features added that support the electronic submission (via file upload features) of transcripts and letters of recommendation in lieu of postal delivery; selected questions refined to align with current fellowship eligibility requirements; and wordings of questions and instructions clarified in response to user feedback from current fellows, host sites, and alumni. This ICR reflects a change in burden due to evolving fellowship requirements, increases in nonfederal respondents, and increases in information voluntarily submitted. This ICR also reflects the elimination of the all data collections for two discontinued fellowships: the Public Health Prevention Service Program and The CDC Experience Applied Epidemiology Fellowship. Decreased burden associated with discontinuation of information collection from these fellowships is offset by increases in the number of respondents across all data collections, and increases in information submitted voluntarily by applicants in the past year when compared to amount of information submitted in previous years. The increase in volume for applications and data verifies that continued use of FMS by CDC is necessary to streamline electronic collection and fellowship processes, such as reviewing applications, selecting candidates and host sites, and monitoring the impact on alumni and the public health workforce.
