Do you know any students who would benefit from volunteering with a global, public policy research project? The Oxford COVID-19 Government Response Tracker (OxCGRT) is currently recruiting for their team of international volunteer data contributors. It collects data on what measures governments have put in place, and which ones are working in the fight against COVID-19.

It is made up of a team of hundreds of volunteer data contributors, the OxCGRT systematically collects data for 180+ countries and subnational jurisdictions on closures, restrictions, public health measures and vaccine policies.
