[ICPSR] [OR-Announce] Opportunity Announced for Political Scientists to Attend Behavioral Genetics Methods Workshop

[Mark Thompson-Kolar]

The introduction of genetic methods into political science necessitates
training the political science community in these methods. The *National
Science Foundation* (SES-1258678) will subvent tuition for 10 political
scientists (faculty and graduate students) to attend the 2014 International
Workshop on Statistical Genetic Methods for Human Complex Traits held at
University of Colorado, Boulder, March 3-7, 2014.

This is a hands-on methods training course. Attendees will develop new
tools to train students, include familial modeling in their coursework and
research, write grants, supervise theses, and review articles and grants
related to this new area of research. Every participant will take part in
model development and conduct analyses using various statistical packages,
among many other exercises. The Institute for Behavioral Genetics hosts
this annual workshop aimed at training junior and advanced faculty in
behavioral genetics.

Application process closes December 15, 2013.
