From Data to Impact: Policy Action in D.C. - Part I

We are pleased to announce that Harris School of Public Policy's first-ever Washington, D.C.-based summer course is now accepting applications. The application is available here. The application deadline is 11:59pm on Sunday, April 5. Admission decisions will be communicated by April 17. After April 5, applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis if seats remain available.

This course helps students connect their technical skills to real-world policy applications. It is organized around three main pillars: crafting policy-relevant research questions, generating and analyzing evidence, and presenting findings effectively to policymakers. Students will explore these themes through a hands-on case study using a real policy issue and dataset. Each week, they will also engage directly with a panel of policymakers from government agencies, multilateral organizations, NGOs, and think tanks. This is part one in a two-part course sequence. Students must complete this course to enroll in PPHA 34862 From Data to Impact: Policy Action in D.C. - Part II.
