> which advance research and knowledge in an area through noteworthy

> data
> which will become publicly available in summer 2008. The national
> study
> follows a birth cohort of (mostly) unmarried parents and their
> children,
> providing information about the capabilities, circumstances, and
> relationships of unwed parents, the wellbeing of their children, and
> the
> role of public policy in family formation and parent and child
> wellbeing.
>
> The workshop is targeted toward young scholars from various social
> science
> disciplines, including advanced graduate students, postdoctoral
> fellows, and
> junior faculty. Applicants must possess basic quantitative data
> analysis
> skills. Ethnic minorities are particularly encouraged to apply.
> About 25-30
