Director’s Unit for Policy, Research, and Evaluation

The Director’s Unit for Policy, Research, and Evaluation (DUPRE) was created in May 2011.

The overarching goal of DUPRE is to be a proactive policy and research office that helps the department create policies and evaluate programs/initiatives in a cutting-edge environment that aims to put the department in the forefront of health policy and research.

These efforts are intended to be sustained over time to improve the health status of all Wyoming residents, while reducing health disparities and increasing program effectiveness. 

The Director’s Unit for Policy, Research, and Evaluation facilitates change both within and outside the Wyoming Department of Health by:

• developing informed heath policy,
• assisting with strategic and operational planning,
• directing research and evaluation initiatives,
• guiding performance improvement, and
• transforming processes and programming that result in improved health outcomes for all Wyoming residents.
  

Members:

• Meredith Asay, J.D., L.L.M. (Administrator)
• Mindy Chai, Ph.D. (Sr. Research Scientist)
• Bob Crowther, B.S. (Policy Analyst)
