SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA)
(44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), Federal agencies
must obtain approval from the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for each
collection of information they conduct
or sponsor. In addition, the PRA also
requires Federal agencies to provide a
60-day notice in the Federal Register
concerning each proposed collection of
information, including each new
proposed collection, each proposed
extension of existing collection of
information, and each reinstatement of
previously approved information
collection before submitting the
collection to the OMB for approval. To
comply with this requirement, we are
publishing this notice of a proposed
data collection as described below.
The OMB is particularly interested in
comments that will help:
1. Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility;
2. Evaluate the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
3. Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected;
4. Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
are to respond, including through the
use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,
e.g., permitting electronic submissions
of responses; and
5. Assess information collection costs.

Background and Brief Description
The Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) works to protect
America from health, safety and security
threats, both foreign and in the U.S.
CDC strives to fulfill this mission, in
part, through a competent and capable
public health workforce. One
mechanism for developing the public
health workforce is through fellowship
programs like those sponsored and
supported by the Division of Workforce
Development (DWD).
A robust public health workforce has
sufficient workforce, organizational, and
systems capacity to deliver essential
public health services and protect the
public’s health. In 2023, after a CDC
reorganization agency-wide, a number
of CDC career fellowships were
consolidated within one new division,
DWD, which has a lead role in public
health workforce development. Across
all of its branches, DWD manages or
supports many full-time, cross-cutting
career fellowship programs that support
CDC and State, Tribal, local, and
Territorial health departments, and
partner organizations. Through these
programs, DWD strives to provide
quality training for current and future
members of the public health workforce
to ensure they have foundational and
contemporary public health skills.
Nearly all these programs serve as a
pathway to CDC career communities
and are an important source of supply
for the public health workforce.
In 2015, CDC obtained OMB approval
to conduct follow-up surveys of alumni
who had completed the Public Health
Associate Program (PHAP) (OMB
Control No. 0920–1078). Findings from
the PHAP alumni surveys have
improved CDC’s understanding of
alumni retention and career progression
in the public health workforce and have
informed management of the PHAP. In
the current Revision, CDC proposes to
build on lessons learned in PHAP
fellowship evaluation. CDC will
broaden the scope of information
collection to accommodate the full
portfolio of DWD fellowships, which
currently include the Epidemiology
Elective Program (EEP), Evaluation
Fellowship (EF), Epidemic Intelligence
Service (EIS), CDC E-Learning Institute,
Future Leaders in Infectious and Global
Health Threats (FLIGHT), Laboratory
Leadership Service (LLS), CDC Steven
M. Teutsch Prevention Effectiveness
(PE) Fellowship, Preventive Medicine
Residency and Fellowship, Population
Health Training in Place Program
(PHTPP), Science Ambassador
Fellowship (SAF), and PHAP. In
addition to expanding the respondent

universe for fellowship alumni, this ICR
is intentionally removing the host site
supervisor component included in the
original ICR. This revision will
specifically focus on fellowship alumni
only. A new ICR will be created for the
host site supervisor survey.
Each year, new cohorts ranging from
three to 200 individuals are enrolled
across these fellowship programs. While
each fellowship differs in focus area,
type of fellow, and projects, they all
have the same mission: to train and
provide learning opportunities to earlyand mid-career professionals who
contribute to the public health
workforce. Post-fellowship, it is the goal
that alumni seek employment within
the public health system (i.e., Federal,
State, Tribal, local, or Territorial health
agencies, or non-governmental
organizations).
CDC will apply a common approach
to assessing how fellowship
participation impacts the job placement,
retention in the public health workforce,
and career progression of alumni. DWD
Fellowship Alumni Surveys will be
administered to individual program
alumni at three different time points
(one year, three years, and five years
post-program completion). Each
fellowship program will invite their
program’s alumni to participate.
Fellowships will be deploying surveys
specific to their programs. Assessment
questions will remain consistent at each
administration timepoint (i.e., one year,
three years, or five years post-program
completion). The language, however,
will be updated for each survey
administration to reflect the appropriate
time period. Surveys will be
administered electronically; a link to the
survey will be provided in an email
invitation. CDC will discontinue the
Host Site Supervisor Survey previously
approved for the PHAP fellowship
alumni.
CDC will use survey findings to
document program outcomes,
demonstrate evidence of impact, and
inform decision making about future
program direction. The results of these
surveys may be published in peer
reviewed journals and/or in nonscientific publications such as practice
reports and/or fact sheets. OMB
approval is requested for three years.
The estimated burden is eight minutes
per respondent per survey, and the total
annualized estimated burden is 519
hours. Participation is voluntary and
there are no costs to respondents other
than their time.
