What's New

 

CSSCR has moved to Condon Hall, sixth floor room 611. We are  now fully functional. Drop by for a tour of the new facility!

2008 ICPSR Summer Training Program

The ICPSR Summer Program is designed to provide a comprehensive, integrated program of studies in research design, statistics, data analysis, and social science methodology.  Intensive interdisciplinary work for historians, political scientists, sociologists, psychologists, and other social scientists is provided through a set of courses that can vary in length from three days to four weeks. Experiences in data processing and the analysis of data complement formal lectures and discussions in most of the courses. In short, the Summer Program trains you to be better, and more facile, users of data.

The two four-week sessions of the 2008 Program will meet from June 23 - July 18 and July 21 - August 15; Three- to Five- day workshops are available from the beginning of June through the end of August. All courses are held in Ann Arbor, Michigan, except where noted. Course information is now available, as is registration and fees at www.icpsr.umich.edu/training/summer/index.html.

Our UW is a member institution of ICPSR, you will be eligible to pay fees at the ICPSR member institutions’ participants rate. 

Completed online applications should reach the Summer Program at ICPSR by Monday, April 28, 2008.

CSSCR will receive a travel stipend to subsidize participants admitted into most of the workshops. We will post this information as soon as we receive it from ICPSR.
