Economics Mentoring Program

该奖项为研究生指导计划提供资金，该计划是经济学管道计划的一部分，旨在扩大经济学专业的参与。该指导计划帮助来自代表性不足群体的学生在他们作为科学家的发展过程中度过一些关键阶段，从研究生学习的早期阶段到完成论文研究，再到开始他们的第一个博士后职位。学生们定期在全国各地的各种专业会议上与他们的项目导师见面。一年一度的研讨会将所有参与者聚集在一起进行研究报告；这个研讨会是与一个针对对社会和经济科学感兴趣的本科生的暑期项目一起举行的。因此，研究生既可以从与自己的导师一起工作中受益，也可以反过来作为年轻学生的导师。

This award funds a graduate student mentoring program that is part of the Economics Pipeline Program, which works to broaden participation in the economics profession. The mentoring program helps students from under represented groups navigate a number of critical stages in their development as scientists as they go from the early stages of graduate study through completing dissertation research and starting their first post-doctoral position. Students meet regularly with their program mentors at a variety of professional conferences around the country. An annual workshop brings all participants together for research presentations; this workshop is held in conjunction with a summer program aimed at undergraduate students who are interested in careers in social and economic science. The graduate students therefore both benefit from working with their own mentors and are able to serve as mentors in turn to younger students.
