Training Seminar for Policy Research
"Public Health, Social Welfare Systems, and HIV/AIDS in Eurasia"
New York City and Washington, D.C.
June 6-9, 2006
The Eurasia Program of the Social Science Research Council invites
applications for the first annual Training Seminar for Policy Research,
"Public Health, Social Welfare Systems, and HIV/AIDS in Eurasia." The
seminar will be held June 6-9, 2006 at the SSRC offices in New York City
and the Kennan Institute at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for
Scholars in Washington D.C. Advanced graduate students and junior faculty
in the social sciences, humanities and other relevant disciplines who are
working on health-related and/or other relevant topics with respect to
Eurasia are encouraged to apply.
Candidates need not be working exclusively
on topics of HIV/AIDS in Eurasia; their work may address issues of public
health, welfare systems, governance, population change, family networks and
community dynamics, risk behaviors, and other topics related to the broad
rubric of the seminar.
Each participant will be tasked with re-examining his/her own research from
the perspectives of both interdisciplinarity and policy relevance. During
the four-day seminar, participants will discuss their individual paper
submissions and research approaches with three senior resource
persons. Broader issues will be addressed by guest speakers from a
cross-section of academia, non-profit, government, business and
international organizations. Participants will benefit from discussions of
their own research, expand their networks within both academic and
non-academic circles, and gain the skills and vocabularies to better tailor
their work to a broader audience of academics, practitioners, and
policymakers.

requirements, please visit the Eurasia Program online at
