Fall Researcher Workshop - Friday, September 13, 2019

The Center for Financial Security Retirement and Disability Research Center (CFS RDRC) will hold a full-day workshop at the UW-Madison campus. CFS RDRC project researchers will present findings with invited discussants providing commentary following each presentation. This opportunity for presentation will provide a platform for researchers to receive feedback, explore related research questions, and provide mentoring and feedback to prospective CFS RDRC researchers in attendance. The workshop will also serve as an opportunity to explore topics and research directions for subsequent years of RDRC work. These events will combine dissemination of research with mentoring and training. Graduate students and pre/post-doctoral fellows involved with the RDRC will also be included.
