Who is this training for?
Who is this training for?
The Research Staff Training is designed for research staff who work on randomized evaluations. Although we designed the training for research staff, we often have participants who work in other related departments. For example policy staff, training staff, and admin and operations staff have previously participated. Occasionally, external participants join as well.
The content is specifically targeted to new Research Associates (also know as Research Assistants or "RAs"). However, we (at J-PAL and IPA) expect that our more senior RAs, Research Managers, and other research staff understand the training's content and we strongly encourage those who haven't taken this training before to do so.
PIs or supervisors may register staff, or staff may register themselves with supervisor/PI approval.
