This is an experiential learning course in which students will work in teams to conduct research projects related to a pressing health policy issue for an actual external “client” - either a public-sector organization or a nonprofit entity. With guidance from the instructor, teams will research an issue, pose research questions, identify a problem and analyze possible solutions. Teams will present their results to the client in a formal briefing and submit a written report incorporating client feedback.
