Overview The International EID Laboratory Fellowship Program is a one‑year program designed for non-US citizen, doctoral level (PhD, MD, DVM, or equivalent) scientists with an emphasis on professional development in laboratory related aspects of infectious diseases. International EID laboratory fellows are placed in US public health laboratories at the local, state, and federal (CDC) level which best match the training and research needs of the fellow and demonstrate a commitment and capacity to host an international scientist. A specific objective-based laboratory curriculum is developed for each fellow depending on his/her areas of need and interest. The curriculum may focus on disease-specific areas and laboratory methods such as: vaccine preventable diseases, drug-resistant pathogens, molecular methods, vector-borne or zoonotic diseases, foodborne illnesses, waterborne illnesses, sexually transmitted diseases, or diagnostic testing methods and instrumentation. It may also focus on laboratory management issues such as: public health laboratory operations, outbreak investigations, laboratory safety, or data management systems. The training and research conducted under the fellowship is intended to enhance laboratory practices in the fellow’s home country.
