The ELC program is one of CDC’s key nationwide cooperative agreements that distributes resources to all U.S. health departments in the battle against threats posed by infectious diseases, such as food and waterborne illnesses, vector-borne diseases (e.g. West Nile virus, Zika, chikungunya, Rocky Mountain spotted fever), and infections caused by antibiotic resistant pathogens.
ELC is seeking 2-5 graduate students with exceptional writings skills and storytelling experience. He/she will compose narratives from content submitted by public health staff across America. He/she will re-write submitted stories for non-scientific audiences. Captivating story narratives help strengthen ELC-funded activities throughout the U.S. As a result of this project the eIntern will become knowledgeable of diverse infectious disease projects occurring in the U.S. and have the occasion to network with public health professionals at state, local, territorial, and federal levels.

At NIOSH, Virtual Reality (VR) is becoming a critical tool for research that allows the creation of dynamic, high fidelity virtual environments to do things that would otherwise be impossible, too costly, or too dangerous in the real world. With VR, our researchers can visualize invisible concepts and complex data, help to evaluate prototypes, and simulate dangerous or non-routine situations. We do this through data collection and visualization projects that include human subject data collection, iterative simulation, co-visualization applications, and training applications. When we do human subject data collections, we ask our subjects to interact with the virtual environment in various ways. Often time, our subjects are not be familiar with VR or VR interfaces. The ease of their interaction effects our data collections, so we need to provide an interface that the uninitiated can grasp intuitively. The interface can be visual (point and click), audio (speech recognition) or both. |

This work is part of the CDC\NIOSH Mining program, based at the Bruceton Research Center, a large facility in the suburbs south of downtown Pittsburgh. You can learn more about the program at https://www.cdc.gov/niosh/mining. You will be working with a team of computer scientists, engineers, 3D modelers and social scientists that do research to improve the health and safety of workers in the US mining industries. Our facilities include our Virtual Immersion and Simulation Laboratory (VISLab - https://www.cdc.gov/niosh/mining/content/facilities.html). We build our virtual environments using the Unity game engine (https://unity.com/). |

A part of improving health and wellness in the United States is helping people understand health risks and how health risks can be mitigated. In a rapidly evolving digital age, Americans are inundated with information and often have a hard time finding and interpreting health data. The National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) is uniquely poised to provide this information, and our mission is to provide health data to guide actions and policies that will benefit the health of Americans.
This project will guide the redesign of printed and electronic products produced by NCHS, including reports, infographics, data visualizations, and social media content. The goal is to (1) reimagine NCHS data products so that they provide a more accessible and more appealing user experience for those looking for health information, and (2) expand the accessibility of NCHS content for a non-technical audience on new media platforms. Team members will learn and work together to guide research, product development, and implementation during the redesign process. Duties may include: conducting research on best dissemination practices (e.g., on social media, on search engines); creating digital content; analyzing data to measure and improve product performance online.
