Legislator education opportunities for Michigan legislators
August 2023 – March 2026
Funder: Michigan Health Endowment Fund
Partner(s): Institute for Public Policy and Social Research College of Social Science (IPPSR), Michigan Health Endowment Fund
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
