With the rapid development and prevalence of new technology, breakthrough research and creative strategies are needed to help
individuals, families, and communities reap the benefits of technology while avoiding potential dangers and risks. What steps
can consumers take to improve the safety of online banking? How can parents and educators reduce cyber-bullying among teens?
What are the new developments in food biotechnology? How can renewable energy be incorporated into homes and communities?
The 99th Annual Conference & Expo, Evolving Technology: Impact on Individuals, Families, and Communities, will provide the
ideal forum for family and consumer sciences and allied professionals to address these pressing issues and related topics
of interest. More conference information here.
RAND SUMMER INSTITUTE
July 7-10, 2008
Santa Monica, CA
Application deadline March 14, 2008
The 15th annual RAND Summer Institute (RSI) will take place in Santa Monica, CA, July 7-10, 2008. The RSI consists of two
conferences addressing critical issues facing our aging population: a Mini-Medical School for Social Scientists (July 7-8)
and a workshop on the Demography, Economics and Epidemiology of Aging (July 9-10). The primary aim of the RSI is to expose
scholars interested in the study of aging to a wide range of research being conducted in fields beyond their own specialties.
All interested researchers are invited to apply to attend the 2008 RSI. Applicants may apply for fellowship support to pay
for registration, travel, and accommodations. Both the Mini-Med School and the workshop are described more fully at our web
site: http://www.rand.org/labor/aging/rsi/. For additional information, please contact Diana Malouf (malouf@rand.org).
The Mini-Med School focuses on biomedical issues relating to aging and should be of interest to all non-medically trained
scholars regardless of background. Topics will be drawn from the diverse fields of biomedicine, including biology, genetics,
patient care, psychiatry, and other areas. Expert clinicians and researchers will provide participants with insight into the
science of aging and a greater understanding of relevant medical issues.
The Workshop on Aging is targeted to pre- and post-doctoral students and junior faculty, and to more senior researchers new
to aging research. It will consist of four half-day sessions with topics drawn from research areas in the social sciences,
including discussions of savings, disability, and quality of life issues. In each session, leading experts will discuss the
state of the literature, integrating results from their own research and supplementing these overviews with more detailed
analyses of specific topics.
RSI is sponsored by the National Institute on Aging and the Office of Behavioral and Social Sciences Research at the National
Institutes of Health.
