Dear Members of the Children's Program -
This summer, the NBER is trying an experiment at the Summer
Institute. Each program will be able to nominate ten graduate students from
outside the Cambridge area for invitation to the Summer Institute. The NBER
will not be able to cover the travel or hotel costs for student invitees, so
you should only nominate a student if he or she has funding for these
expenses. NBER will provide the usual morning coffee and light breakfast,
as well as lunch and any group dinners, for student participants. You may
want to consider covering the travel cost for a student participant from
your own research funds, or you might explore whether your home department
has any such funds for graduate students.
If you have a student who you think would benefit from exposure to
the professional interaction and research presentations at the Summer
Institute, please send me his or her name and a very brief (two or three
sentence) description of the student's dissertation work. I will then
collect the nominations and forward them to Carl Beck at the NBER Conference
Department. I would be grateful if you could send me any nominations by
March 9th
Thanks!
Jon Gruber
