About CHRT

Educational opportunities for Michigan legislators and legislative staff, Phase I

August 2023 – July 2024
Funder: Michigan Health Endowment Fund
Partner(s): Institute for Public Policy and Social Research
Need:

Due to the substantial turnover and subsequent loss of subject matter expertise in health issues in both the House and Senate each election cycle, there is a need for support of the incoming legislators and their staff. This project will build an important baseline level of knowledge about policy-relevant health topics and their impact on the people of Michigan as a part of meeting that need.

CHRT’s role:
  • Meet with IPPSR and legislators and staff to gain input on topics for primers, discussions, and forums
  • Develop primers based on input received and literature reviews
  • Work with IPPSR to implement round-table discussions with and for legislators and their staff
