*Description: *The Panel Study of Income Dynamics (PSID)
<http://psidonline.isr.umich.edu/default.aspx>, begun in 1968, is the
world's longest-running multigenerational household panel study. It is used
widely in behavioral, social, and health sciences to investigate scientific
and policy questions about life course trajectories in health and
well-being, intergenerational social and economic mobility, income and
wealth inequality, family investments in children, neighborhood effects on
opportunity and achievement, and other topics.



This workshop will orient participants to the content and structure of the
core PSID interview, special topics modules, and supplemental studies.
Classroom demonstrations using PSID data extracts will illustrate key
concepts. In lab sessions, participants will develop their own analytic
data files under the guidance of project staff.



*Eligibility: *Faculty, research professionals, postdocs, and graduate
students. Diversity in terms of background and academic discipline is
encouraged.



*Application: *Enrollment is limited to accepted participants. Applicants
must sign up for the course through the ICPSR Summer Program portal and

and how this workshop will help fulfill research or educational goals.



*Workshop Fee and Stipends: *$100 (for accepted participants only). A
limited number of travel stipends are available (requires additional
application materials submitted by April 15, 2016).



*Deadline:* Applications received before April 15 will receive highest
