Description
The National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER), with support from the National Institute of Aging, offers a mentoring program aimed at doctoral students interested in aging and health economics research who have limited access to mentorship in these areas. The program provides training in advanced empirical methods, guidance on relevant datasets, and project development focused on identifying promising research questions. Participants will attend a day-long, in-person workshop at NBER’s Cambridge, MA offices, where they will interact with peers and senior scholars. The program is suitable for doctoral students at any stage—from those exploring research fields to those already working on dissertations in aging, health, or demography.
