Requirements
Qualifications
Requirements Continued: In accordance with Executive Order 12564 of September 14, 1986, The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is A Drug-Free Federal Workplace. The Federal government, as the largest employer in the Nation, can and should show the way towards achieving drug-free workplaces through programs designed to offer drug users a helping hand, and at the same time demonstrating to drug users and potential drug users that drugs will not be tolerated in the Federal workplace. The use of illegal drugs, on or off duty, by Federal employees is inconsistent not only with the law-abiding behavior expected of all citizens, but also with the special trust placed in such employees as servants of the public. Applicants tentatively selected for this position may be required to submit to urinalysis to screen for illegal drug use prior to appointment and be subject to reasonable suspicion and post-accident drug testing upon hiring. If required to submit to urinalysis, the appointment to the position will be contingent upon a negative applicant drug test result. In order to demonstrate commitment to the HHS goal of a drug-free workplace and to set an example for other Federal employees, employees not in a testing designated position may volunteer for unannounced random testing by notifying their Drug-free Federal Workplace Program Point of Contact upon hiring. Current or Former Political Appointees: Agencies must seek prior approval from the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) before they can appoint a current or recent political appointee to a competitive or non-political excepted service position at any level under the provisions of title 5, United States Code. If you are currently, or have been within the last 5 years, a political Schedule A, Schedule C, or Non-career SES employee in the executive branch, you MUST disclose that to the Human Resources Office. Failure to disclose this information could result in disciplinary action including removal from Federal Service. Current or Former Political Appointees: Submit SF-50 Minimum Qualifications: Applicants must have one year of specialized experience at or equivalent to the GS-12 level of difficulty and responsibility in the Federal service as defined in the next paragraph. Specialized experience is experience at or equivalent to which is directly related to the position which has equipped the applicant with the particular knowledge, skills and abilities (KSAs) to successfully perform the duties of the position to include experience providing advice or assistance to public, private or non-profit organizations on matters relating to the provision of public health activities. Documenting Experience: In accordance with Office of Personnel Management policy, federal employees are assumed to have gained experience by performing duties and responsibilities appropriate for their official series and grade level as described in their position description. Experience that would not normally be part of the employee's position is creditable, however, when documented by satisfactory evidence, such as a signed memorandum from the employee's supervisor or an SF-50 or SF-52 documenting an official detail or other official assignment. The documentation must indicate whether the duties were performed full time or, if part time, the percentage of times the other duties were performed. It is expected that this documentation is included in the employee's official personnel record. In order to receive credit for experience in your resume that is not within the official series and grade level of your official position, you must provide a copy of the appropriate documentation of such experience as indicated above. Experience refers to paid and unpaid experience, including volunteer work done through National Service programs (e.g., Peace Corps, AmeriCorps) and other organizations (e.g., professional; philanthropic; religious; spiritual; community, student, social). Volunteer work helps build critical competencies, knowledge, and skills and can provide valuable training and experience that translates directly to paid employment.

ATSDR is a federal public health agency of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. ATSDR protects communities from harmful health effects related to exposure to natural and man-made hazardous substances. ATSDR does this by responding to environmental health emergencies; investigating emerging environmental health threats; conducting research on the health impacts of hazardous waste sites; and building capabilities of and providing actionable guidance to state and local health partners.
Research Project: ADS conducts the Environmental Health Training Program (EHTP). EHTP supports ATSDR staff, states, and Tribal partners in obtaining and maintaining professional competencies needed to conduct the public health assessment (PHA) process. The PHA is ATSDR’s method used to evaluate communities’ health from exposure to environmental contaminants. EHTP provides a CDC-accredited environmental health curriculum that teaches how to evaluate/communicate the public health impact of exposures to environmental hazardous substances. Currently, OCDAPS/ADS is working on multiple environmental health training activities to support ATSDR staff, states, and Tribal partners (e.g., states under the ATSDR’s Cooperative Agreement Program) to enhance the quality of their site-related work including exposure assessment, health effects evaluation, and health communication.
In 2023, OCDAPS/ADS is planning to expand their environmental heath training efforts to conduct the following activities:
– Ten chemical-specific webinars on the health effects charts (HECs) that ATSDR is developing for common contaminants found at hazardous waste sites. – The HECs will help health assessors determine contaminants’ site-specific health effects,
– Additional environmental health webinars on new processes for the PHA’s screening, health effects evaluation, and toxicological analysis, and
– A promotional campaign to market PHAT to United States’ academic institutions with environmental health programs.
Through this ORISE fellowship, the participant will collaborate with OCDAPS in the planning, development, implementation, and evaluation of training activities targeting environmental health professionals. The participant may also be asked to participate in special projects within the ADS office, such as the enhancement of the ATSDR’s shower model or the ATSDR’s health effects project.
OCDAPS/ADS’ process to develop training include:
– Conducting and analyzing training needs surveys and assessments,
– Planning and designing training courses and materials based on instructional design methods and adult learning principles,
– Using e-learning tools and software to develop web-based training courses and materials,
– Collaborating with subject matter experts and using appropriate methods and tools to translate complex environmental health information into clear language,
– Developing accessible training courses (508-compliant) including using Zoom to review webinars’ transcripts and closed-captions and testing content for readability and color-contrast,
– Conducting pilot testing of training courses and materials,
– Coordinating continuing education of training activities,
– Collaborating with web designers to appropriately design and deliver web-based training,
– Promoting availability of training courses and materials among various audiences,
– Delivering presentations and training classes (e.g., webinars) including conducting courses’ registration and using meeting platforms like Zoom, and
– Qualitatively and quantitively evaluating training activities and materials’ efficacy in increasing knowledge and skills.
OCDAPS/ADS will mentor participant to complete previous process.
