territorial health department or nonprofit organization). Host sites design 

their associates’ assignments to meet 

their agency’s unique needs while also 

providing on-the-job experience that 

prepare associates for future careers in 

public health. Associates also receive 

CDC-based training in core public 

health concepts and topics to provide 

the knowledge, skills, and abilities 

necessary to succeed in their 

assignments and provide a foundation 

for a career in public health. 

PHAP hosts an initial in-person 

orientation and annual public health 

training at CDC and offers long-distance 

learning opportunities throughout the 

program. It is the goal of PHAP to have 

alumni seek employment within the 

public health system (i.e., federal, state, 

tribal, local, or territorial health 

agencies, or non-governmental 

organizations), focusing on public 

health or health/healthcare. 

When PHAP originated in 2007, the 

program focused on increasing 

recruitment and enrollment; to date, 

there has been limited systematic 

assessment of the program. As a result, 

one current program priority is focused 

on documenting program outcomes to 

inform refinements to program 

processes and activities, demonstrate 

program impact, and inform decision 

making about future program direction. 

The purpose of this information 

collection request is to gain approval to 

follow alumni career movement and 

progression following participation in 

PHAP. The information collection will 

enable the program to demonstrate 

evidence of program outcomes, 

specifically to document how many 

alumni are retained as members of the 

public health workforce, where alumni 

are employed, what topical and 

functional public health areas alumni 

support (e.g., chronic disease, infectious 

disease, assessment, communications, 

etc.), to what extent alumni support the 

capabilities of public health agencies at 

the federal, state, territorial, local, tribal, 

and non-governmental organizational 

levels, and to what extent PHAP has 

influenced alumni career paths (if at 

all). 

Information will be used to answer 

key program assessment questions, 

specifically: ‘‘Is PHAP a quality 

program?’’, ‘‘Is PHAP an effective 

program?’’, and ‘‘What is the impact of 

PHAP?’’ 

CDC will administer the PHAP 

Alumni Assessment at two different 

time points (1 year post-graduation, and 

3 years post-graduation) to PHAP 

alumni. Assessment questions will 

remain consistent at each 

administration (i.e., 1 year, or 3 years 

post-PHAP graduation). The language, 

however, will be updated for each 

assessment administration to reflect the 

appropriate time period. It is estimated 

that there will be no more than 480 

respondents (160 respondents annually) 

over the course of the three year 

approval period. The estimated time for 

data collection is 8 minutes per 

assessment administration. Assessments 

will be administered electronically; a 

link to the assessment Web site will be 

provided in the email invitation. The 

total annualized estimated burden is 21 

hours. There are no costs to respondents 

except their time.
