- Participating in quality assurance of code and output.
- Defining analysis specifications and output formats and shells.
- Developing user manuals and other documentation for reporting systems and analytic tools.

- Participating in interviews or site visits to assess the implementation and cost of state, federal, and local health care programs.
- Supporting analysis of qualitative data collected from interviews, site visits, or other data collection efforts.
- Providing technical assistance to state and federal health agencies or health care providers (for example, by designing webinars or responding to questions from providers/stakeholders).
- Reviewing and summarizing the literature on current health policy topics

**Position Requirements**:
- Master’s degree in public policy, economics, statistics, public health, social work, or a related field, or an equivalent combination of education and experience.
- Strong analytic skills, including knowledge of quantitative analytic research methods.
- Strong critical thinking, problem-solving, and time management skills.
- Excellent oral and written communication skills; ability to write clear and concise technical memos and documents and accessible stakeholder-facing memos, briefs, and presentation materials.
