Summer Programs in Statistical Modeling

Frank LoPresti

New York University is a founding member of the Inter-University Consortium for Political and Social Research (ICPSR). The Institute, located on the Ann Arbor campus of the University of Michigan, has many federal, state and private contracts to archive and distribute social science data. For fifty years, social scientists have come to the Institute to teach and to learn. The ICPSR has a summer program in quantitative methods. Small stipends are awarded to researchers and graduate students applying through ACF's Statistics Group. Courses are offered in basic and advanced research design, statistics, data analysis, and social methodology. Program lengths vary. This past summer, three graduate students from NYU attended. Browse the ICPSR website (www.isr.umich.edu) for information on their summer program. If you would like to apply, contact the ACF Statistics group at lopresti@nyu.edu. [ C ]
