Year 4 of Annual Junior Scholars Intensive Training Sees Success

The week-long JSIT summer workshop returned to an in-person format on June 13th-17th in Madison, WI following two years of conducting the program online. This collaborative project between Howard University’s Center on Race and Wealth and the CFS RDRC, has developed into a highly acclaimed training program that successfully prepares early stage faculty and scholars to develop research ideas and proposals on topics of retirement and disability.

To supplement its core agenda of research presentations, workshops, and mentoring, the CFS RDRC ends the summer with a small grant funding competition that will culminate in a research paper and brief.
