1) Fragile Families Summer Data Workshop 2015 to be held June 17th – 19th, 2015, at Columbia University 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 2015 workshop will include special sections on the newly available genetic data in the Fragile Families Study, and the use of Fragile Families in examining gene-environment interactions in child development and adult wellbeing.
The workshop is targeted toward early-career scholars from social and biomedical science disciplines. We particularly encourage applications for junior faculty, postdoctoral fellows, graduate students using the Fragile Families data in their dissertation and minority scholars. Applicants must possess basic quantitative data analysis skills. About 25-30 applicants will be selected. Support for travel costs will be available for out-of-town participants.

2) Call for Proposals: Small Grants for Research Using PSID Data. The Panel Study of Income Dynamics (PSID), with support from the National Institute on Aging, announces a small grant competition. The competition will fund 4-8 scholars in the range of $10,000-$20,000 each to use PSID to conduct research using new data on intergenerational transfers, extended family connections, and time use. Funded projects will generate papers that will be presented, along with other invited posters and presentations, at a two-day conference to be held June 9-10, 2016. Proposals may request support to analyze either PSID’s 2013 Family Roster and Transfer Module or the 2009 / 2013 Disability and Use of Time (DUST) supplements or both. Applications are due March 2, 2015. For details see the full announcement here. Questions may be directed to Bob Schoeni [log in to unmask]
