F. Thomas Juster
This quasi-endowment fund will provide research awards to emerging scholars in the social sciences who are conducting empirically grounded economic research using the Health and Retirement Study, the Panel Study of Income Dynamics, the Surveys of Consumers, or the Time Use data. To the extent possible, special emphasis will be placed on supporting research directed at understudied topics and the measurement of economic behavior.
These competitive small grants will be open to researchers from around the world, although preference will be given to scholars associated with the University of Michigan.
