Two fellowship opportunities are currently available in the President’s Council on Fitness, Sports & Nutrition (PCFSN) within the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health (OASH) of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).
About the organisation
PCFSN is a federal advisory committee that advises the President of the United States through the Secretary of HHS. PCFSN’s mission is to educate, engage and empower all Americans to lead a healthy lifestyle that includes regular physical activity and good nutrition.
About the position
Under the guidance of a mentor, the selected participants may have the opportunity to monitor and evaluate evidence-based physical activity, sports and nutrition data to determine significant research gaps, best practices and effective strategies for increasing opportunities for Americans of all ages, backgrounds and abilities to be active and healthy. They will be part of a team that manages strategic partnerships and related projects to promote PCFSN’s priority programmes and initiatives. They may also have the opportunity to support PCFSN’s outreach and education efforts by developing relevant content for presentations and talking points that support the health mission and priorities of PCFSN, HHS and the administration.
The initial appointment is for one year, but may be renewed upon recommendation of HHS contingent on the availability of funds. The participant will receive a monthly stipend commensurate with education level and experience. Participants do not become employees of HHS or the programme administrator, and there are no fringe benefits paid.
How to Apply
To be considered, please send a current CV/resume to the attention of HHSrpp@orau.org. Please reference DHHS-OASH-2014-0115 in all communications.
