Economics Mentoring Program

该奖项资助了一个研究生指导计划，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。指导计划帮助学生从代表性不足的群体导航在他们的发展作为科学家的一些关键阶段，因为他们从研究生学习的早期阶段，通过完成论文研究，并开始他们的第一个博士后职位。学生定期与他们的计划导师在全国各地的各种专业会议。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;该研讨会与针对对社会和经济科学职业感兴趣的本科生的暑期课程一起举行。因此，研究生既受益于与自己的导师合作，又能够反过来担任年轻学生的导师。

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.
