Tulane Health Policy Case Competition
The Tulane Health Policy Case Competition gives teams of undergraduate students an opportunity to apply their talents and knowledge to put together a solution to a given health policy program. Students will have an opportunity to interact with school faculty in the course of constructing their solutions. Top teams will present their solutions to a panel of experts for detailed feedback.
Teams of up to three undergraduate students create policy-based solutions to a given problem. A workshop will be provided shortly after the case is released. Teams will construct PowerPoint presentations on solutions to the problem. Finalists will present to a panel of judges for real-time feedback.
2023 Case Prompt
This case asks teams of undergraduate students to apply the lens of health policy analysis to the homelessness crisis in New Orleans. While some progress was made during the pandemic, recently the population without access to permanent, affordable housing has been increasing. In this scenario, the city has set aside $50 million over 10 years to fund a comprehensive and sustainable solution. A good policy will leverage existing city infrastructure as appropriate and include detailed breakdowns of the costs of the policy package.
Award
Each member of the winning team will receive $1,000 in cash
