Bayer Scholars Program for the Summer Institute in Data to Policy
The Data to Policy in Population, Family and Reproductive Health Summer Institute is designed to equip students with skills needed to understand population-based data and shape policies related to families, reproductive health, and the health of populations.
Course information is available on the Courses and Schedule page and our expert instructors are listed on the Faculty page. Please go to the Registration page to enroll in courses. Cost information can be found in the Tuition section.
The Summer Institute is structured around the public health cycle of assessing health and health determinants, developing policy to respond to identified health needs, and assuring that implemented policies achieve their purpose through evaluation. All courses focus on using data to drive decisions and actions at each point in this public health cycle. Institute participants can select training in approaches that range from statistical analysis of population health indicators to community organizing and participatory program evaluation. Courses are one to two credits and offered in short, compact formats suited for non-degree seeking students.
Enhance your ability to use data to shape, advocate for, and evaluate policies that affect families, reproductive health, and the health of populations.
