NBER: Summer Institute Opportunities for Graduate Students
Subject: Summer Institute Opportunities for Graduate Students
From: Christina Romer (cromer@econ.Berkeley.EDU)
Date: Thu Mar 01 2007 - 16:57:28 EST
Dear Program Members -
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 16th. Thank you and all best wishes.
Christina (and David)
