Policy Surveillance Institute
The annual Policy Surveillance Institute is a two-day intensive program intended for individuals interested in learning each step in the policy surveillance process with in-person, in-depth training from experts from the Center for Public Health Law Research.
The Policy Surveillance Institute is intended for individuals interested in studying policies and law once they are enacted, and exploring variation in policy across jurisdictions and over time. Participants will learn each step in the policy surveillance process through individual and collaborative exercises and using CPHLR's MonQcle software.
Our 2025 Policy Surveillance Institute took place August 7-8, 2025. Please sign up to receive an email when more details about the 2026 Institute become available.
