Overview

The PMF program brings the best and brightest into public service. It is the federal government’s premiere pipeline for moving advanced degree graduates into government leadership positions. The CDC PMF program attracts more than 250 applicants annually from a variety of academic disciplines and consistently hires one of the largest cohorts of fellows at HHS. The PMF program at CDC has recruited more than 270 exceptional fellows since 1988. 

During this 2-year paid fellowship, participants will receive:

  • Hands-on experience
  • Mentorship
  • Classroom training
  • Seminars and conferences
  • Developmental assignments
  • Optional rotations

Developmental Assignments and Optional Rotations

Many PMF alumni become CDC leaders. They have gone on to senior staff positions as policy directors, center directors, and the agency’s chief of staff.

Fellows are placed in an assignment that provides leadership experience and skills for their career goals. Fellows may select optional, short-term rotations in other CDC programs. These temporary rotations allow fellows to pursue professional interests and learn more about CDC.
