Jennie Scheerer
Program Manager
Jennie Scheerer is a program manager on CHRT’s research and evaluation team. She works on a variety of projects, including the evaluation of Michigan’s Certified Community Behavioral Health Centers (CCBHCs). She began working at CHRT as the 2023 Rebecca A. Copeland Memorial Intern, where she developed multiple evidence-based research briefs using data from CHRT’s physician survey.
Scheerer is committed to approaching health-related research and evaluation through an equity lens. Her specific research interests lie at the intersection between social determinants of health, maternal and reproductive health, anti-racism, and US domestic policy.
Before joining CHRT, Scheerer interned with the department of obstetrics and gynecology and the Institute for Healthcare Policy and Innovation (IHPI) at the University of Michigan. As a research assistant, Scheerer helped manage research projects on abortion access and Title X family planning programs in Michigan. Prior to starting her master’s degree, she worked to amplify community needs alongside various non-profit organizations in Chicago, Seattle, and Ann Arbor.
Scheerer holds master’s degrees in public health and public policy from the University of Michigan. She received a bachelor’s degree in human development and social relations from Kalamazoo College.
