Short answers on your motivation, your experience with public health data and how you will apply what you learn

Why You Should Apply: Tips for a Strong Application

Be specific about your motivation. Say what you want to change in your work, not only what you hope to learn.
Match your experience level honestly. Choose the description that fits your real data skills.
Secure your reference early. A supervisor statement is best, but a mentor or faculty member can also vouch for you.
Show a link to your job. Describe a project where stronger data and leadership skills would help.
Pick your top three skills carefully. Choose goals that match your career plan.
Confirm your time. Two hours a week is modest, but you also need time for group assignments.
Apply early. Do not wait for November 6.

Conclusion

The Data for Health Leadership Lab 2.0 helps public health data professionals lead with evidence. If you work in a U.S. state or territory and meet the criteria, prepare your resume and reference now.
