The Sax Institute’s Analysis for Policy program provides expertise in epidemiology and statistics, data linkage, research management and project management to help agencies define, refine, frame and answer priority policy-relevant research questions.
“Organisations typically use the Analysis for Policy program to help fill information gaps at program development or roll-out, gaps in information necessary for targeted advocacy efforts and gaps in information to inform program evaluation,” says Program Manager Mark Bartlett.
The many and varied sources of survey and administrative data, and the capacity for data linkage, means that programs, policies and practice can be informed by real-word data, he says.
