The Abdul Latif Jameel Poverty Action Lab (J-PAL) is a global research center working to reduce poverty by ensuring that policy is informed by scientific evidence. Anchored by a network of more than 1,000 researchers at universities around the world, J-PAL conducts randomized impact evaluations to answer critical questions in the fight against poverty.
Our affiliated professors are based at over 120 universities and conduct randomized evaluations around the world to design, evaluate, and improve programs and policies aimed at reducing poverty. They set their own research agendas, raise funds to support their evaluations, and work with J-PAL staff on research, policy outreach, and training.
Our research, policy, and training work is fundamentally better when it is informed by a broad range of perspectives.
This in-person workshop is an interactive training session on randomized evaluations and provides an opportunity for health care practitioners to meet with researchers who explore how to make health care delivery more efficient and effective. The training will cover topics such as refining the research question, developing a theory of change, and how to measure outcomes effectively. Participants will meet one-on-one with researchers and staff to discuss and troubleshoot their projects, and network with researchers, staff, and other participants.
