RAND Summer Institute

RSI RAND is pleased to announce the 16th annual RAND Summer Institute (RSI). RSI consists of two annual conferences that address critical issues facing our aging population. The MiniMedical School for Social Scientists will be held on July 6-7, and the Demography, Economics, and Epidemiology of Aging conference on July 8-9, 2009. Both conferences will convene at the RAND Corporation headquarters in Santa Monica, California.

We are no longer accepting applications.

The conferences are sponsored by the National Institute on Aging and the NIH Office of Behavioral and Social Sciences Research.

Qualified applicants must hold a Ph.D. or have completed two years of a Ph.D. program and be actively working on a dissertation. Only applicants working in the field of aging — or actively considering this research field — will be considered.
