Alumni Survey

PMF Additions and Amendments

Introduction

You are being asked to complete this survey because of your previous participation in the Presidential Management Fellowship (PMF). The purpose of this survey is to learn about your career progression and how fellowship alumni contribute to the public health workforce.

Your participation is completely voluntary. Your individual responses will be kept secure and not shared. Only Public Health Workforce Branch (including PMF staff) and CDC Division evaluation staff will have access to your responses. Results from the survey will be reported in aggregate (e.g., 75% of alumni are employed in public health).

We estimate that it will take approximately 8 minutes to complete this survey. This survey link is unique to you, so please don’t forward it to others. You will be able to return to the survey to edit or update your responses at any time prior to the survey closing date on DATE.

Please contact Amanda West (dkw6@cdc.gov) if you have any questions regarding this survey.






















The public reporting burden of this collection of information is estimated to average 8 minutes per response, including time for reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering, and maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing the collection of information. An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. Send comments regarding this burden estimate or any other aspect of this collection of information, including suggestions for reducing this burden to CDC/ATSDR Reports Clearance Officer; 1600 Clifton Road NE, MS H21-8, Atlanta, Georgia 30333 ATT: PRA (0920-1078).
