The topics are broad so the concept paper will need to (1) define the population affected and the specific healthcare problem, (2) describe the policy context, and (3) identify two alternatives for policy or systems-level solutions. Please also indicate the target audience for the policy brief under development. This concept paper will be between 1-2 pages and will need to include at least 6 citations from reputable sources (e.g., peer-reviewed journals).
The health policy brief that you will write over the course of this semester will need to be succinct and targeted to a particular audience/organization (e.g., gov’t officials, Congress, state office/division, NGO, international org, development practitioners, donors, industry, public).
