This summer, Megan is interning with the University of Chicago Urban Health Lab, which seeks to advance our understanding of how to improve health outcomes and health systems. They work with government agencies and non-profit organizations to rigorously evaluate promising policies and interventions in order to make them as informative as possible. Their goal is to assemble a portfolio of randomized controlled trials to generate new evidence about what works, for whom, and why, and to conduct benefit-cost analyses of different interventions to enable policymakers to prioritize resources for the combination of strategies that achieve the greatest social good per dollar spent. Megan supports their research projects, analyses, literature reviews, and grant proposals.
