Academic year 2015-16 was another great year for support from the Yoshio Niho Research Excellence Fund<\/a>!\u00a0 The details of the three awards are below and we encourage you to contribute to help the fund grow<\/a>!<\/p>\n

\n

“The Niho Fund allowed me to attend the fall 2015 Conference of the Southern Economic Association, where I participated in a session on inter-generational transmission. It was extremely helpful to present my paper to fellow researchers doing closely related work. I received detailed feedback from the participants as well as from the audience. I am grateful that the Fund provided this opportunity.” \u2013 Sarah Kroeger<\/p>\n

“I participated in the European Economic Association meetings in August 2016.\u00a0 Critically, I was accepted to be part of the Women in Economics mentoring retreat.\u00a0 The discussions covered publishing, writing successful grant applications, networking and career planning.\u00a0 The retreat also included small group sessions on my research with detailed comments and feed-back from senior mentors in my field. A great opportunity.” \u2013 Itziar Lazkano<\/p>\n

“The Fund allowed me to give papers at two conferences here in the Midwest.\u00a0 It was great for sharing my research and having discussions with those in my area. The opportunity to help raise the flag for 51ÁÔÆæ Economics was great\u00a0 It is only by doing so that the rest of discipline realizes the high quality of our research \u2013 many thanks.”\u00a0\u00a0 — Owen Thompson<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
