Subject: Summer Institute Opportunities for Graduate Students
From: Grossman, Michael (MGrossman@gc.cuny.edu)
Date: Wed Feb 28 2007 - 15:11:45 EST
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 in the next two weeks -- by March 14.
