>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 Rob Shannon at the NBER's
> Conference Department. I would be grateful if you could send me any
> nominations in the next week or so. Thank you.
