for demographic methods training

Each year, the Broom Center awards funds to support graduate student attendance at summer training programs in demographic methods, in areas that are relevant to the student’s area of planned or ongoing dissertation research. Research topics related to the Broom Center’s seven research Themes are of special interest. All enrolled UCSB PhD students are eligible to apply. Applications for travel in calendar year 2012 have now passed. For further details and application procedures, please see this year’s Call for Applications.

Attendance at any training program in demographic research methods will be considered; proposals will be evaluated in part on the quality and reputation of the training program and its relevance to the student’s ongoing or proposed dissertation research.
