Fragile Families Summer Data Workshop 2013
Columbia Population Research Center
Columbia University, New York City
July 8th – 10th, 2013
**Deadline extended - Friday, April 19th (11:59PM EST)**
The Columbia Population Research Center is now accepting applications for the Fragile Families Summer Data Workshop to be held July 8th – 10th, 2013, at the Columbia University School of Social Work in New York City. The Fragile Families and Child Wellbeing Study is a national study that follows a birth cohort of (mostly) unmarried parents and their children, providing information about the capabilities, circumstances, and relationships of unwed parents, the wellbeing of their children, and the role of public policy in family formation and parent and child wellbeing. The workshop is designed to familiarize participants with the data available in the study. The 2013 workshop will include a specialized panel on how the data can be used to examine the effects of the Great Recession on urban families.
The workshop is targeted toward young scholars from various social and biomedical science disciplines, including advanced graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and junior faculty. Applicants must possess basic quantitative data analysis skills. Ethnic minorities are particularly encouraged to apply. About 25-30 applicants will be selected. Travel costs for out-of-town participants will be reimbursed up to $750, including hotel which will be booked directly by Columbia.
The Fragile Families Summer Data Workshop 2013 is made possible by Grant Number R25HD074544-01 from the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health & Human Development (NICHD).
Additional information about the Fragile Families study is available here.
