The Department of Statistical Sciences and the Clinton Health Access Initiative have come together to provide an exciting opportunity for Masters students through an fellowship programme. The programme provides an opportunity for students in their dissertation year to analyse government data to answer a policy-relevant question enabling them to receive work experience that is aligned with their dissertation. MASHA facilitated the establishment of this programme and is proud to present the STA-CHAI fellowship students below.
