Abstract: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) uses Fellowship Management System (FMS) to collect, process, and manage data from nonfederal applicants seeking training or public health support services through CDC fellowships. FMS is used to electronically submit fellowship applications, submit fellowship host site proposals, track fellows’ activities during their fellowships, and maintain fellowship alumni directories online. FMS is a key tool in CDC’s efforts to maintain and develop a robust public health workforce. This change request removes PMR/F and PH-TIPP from the Fellowship and Host Site Application modules and describes the addition of a new fellowship program (the CDC Evaluation Fellowship) to the Fellowship Management System’s Fellowship Application and Host Site Application modules.
