Dear all,
This is a gentle reminder that the U.S. Department of Labor’s
Employment and Training Administration (ETA) is accepting applications for the 2011 Employment and Training Research Paper Program.
ETA seeks to fund research proposals from accomplished doctoral candidates and
postdoctoral researchers, who can be U.S.
citizens, residents or non-U.S. citizens who are in the U.S. legally (e.g., with a
visa). We are interested in rigorous, innovative research projects on
such topics as low-wage labor markets, career advancement, the functioning and
outcomes of the publicly-funded workforce system including training programs,
and youth development, among others. More details about the program and application
instructions are provided in the attached announcement and applicant
identification form, which can also be found at http://www.doleta.gov/etainfo/ opder/2011_employment_and_ training.cfm.
Please note that the last date for
applications is September 18, 2011 (extended
from September 16).
The purpose of the present program is to support early career
researchers interested in questions that pertain to connecting people to
rewarding jobs and careers or ensuring that American employers have a capable
workforce. Thank you again for
bringing this announcement to the attention
of doctoral candidates, recent doctoral alumni, and postdoctoral researchers at
your institution and disseminating
it through any appropriate professional networks or channels. Please do not hesitate to contact me with any
questions at tereshchenko.bogdan@dol.gov.
Sincerely yours,
Bogdan Tereshchenko
Project Officer
2011 Employment and Training Research Paper Program
