The 2022 GeSS Workshop is currently planned to be held in person on the University of Michigan campus. We will be following all University of Michigan safety precautions for gatherings.
Researchers from the University of Michigan invite you to apply to the 6th annual Genomics for Social Scientists workshop, held at the University of Michigan June 13-17, 2022. The purpose of this NIA-sponsored workshop is to familiarize researchers with genetic data and provide hands-on training on incorporating genetic information into social science analyses. Using both lecture and lab formats, participants will use tutorial versions of the Health and Retirement Study core survey data and genetic data files. The week-long workshop will offer a multitude of opportunities for interdisciplinary collaboration among attendees and feedback from University of Michigan investigators and course instructors. This course is designed to primarily benefit researchers who already have experience conducting statistical examinations of behavioral traits, but who may have little or no genetic or biological training. Investigators interested in a better understanding of genomic analysis as it applies to social and behavioral science research are encouraged to apply.
