Application for 2012 EITM Summer Institute
The application deadline is midnight Eastern Standard Time, 1 March 2012
Qualifications: We intend to accept about 25 participants — graduate students who can most benefit from the EITM curriculum. Applicants should have some training in both formal theory and statistics, and ideally advanced training in at least one of these areas. Applicants who lack the needed background should consider attending ICPSR to gain EITM certification this summer and applying to EITM for a future summer.
A complete application consists of the following components:
1. Description of your research proposal (3-7 pages). We will base admission substantially on the quality of this proposal and our assessment of its potential benefit from the training offered at the EITM summer institute.
2. Curriculum vitae with name and contact information, current location and position. Your CV should indicate your current status in graduate school (e.g., whether you’ve passed exams and defended a dissertation proposal).
3. Two letters of recommendation, emailed directly by their writers to [email protected].
Applicants will be notified of our acceptance decisions (via e-mail) by March 29.
Tuition and full financial support (including a stipend for round-trip airfare and dormitory housing, as necessary, plus a modest allowance for meals and incidentals) are provided for U.S. participants and for foreign students studying at U.S. institutions. A substantial portion of international participants’ expenses will also be covered.
All application materials should be sent as PDF attachments via email to [email protected]. Please indicate “EITM Application” in the subject line.
