The USF COPH partners with the Oak Ridge Institute for Science and Education (ORISE) and the CDC Office on Smoking and Health (OSH) to offer a three-month, paid fellowship for a public health student. I am pleased to announce that two CFH students were selected as fellows for this summer. Click Here to see the flyer.

Specifically, she will assist the National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Promotion (NCCDPHP) with program evaluation, scientific and technical assistance in support of tobacco control research and surveillance and evaluation of the National Tobacco Control Program, nationally and at the State and local level, and in support of other OSH publications and programs. Methods to be utilized include program evaluation research design, qualitative and qualitative evaluation methods and report preparation
