REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS: Determinants of Life Expectancy by Income and
Geography, and Implications for Social Security Policy
NBER seeks applications for research projects that deepen our
understanding of the mechanisms explaining geographic variation in the
relationship between income and life expectancy in the United States, by
using recently released statistics from the Health Inequality Project.
In this call, with funding support from the Social Security
Administration through the NBER Retirement Research Center, we encourage
proposals that leverage the newly released data to better understand the
reasons for the strong relationship between income and life expectancy,
its geographic variability, and its implications for interventions and
policy.
Thanks for your help in spreading the word.
