Since research participants are NOT employees of either the CDC or of ORISE, there are NO benefits such as vacation or sick leave. However, most mentors will help design a schedule that is mutually agreeable. The participant is not expected to be present on days that the CDC facility is closed for holidays. If a participant needs to be off for any extended period of time and cannot make up the time, then the CDC will notify ORISE and the participant will be put on leave-without-pay status until he/she returns.
