This virtual five-day workshop will orient participants to the content and structure of the Panel Study of Income Dynamics, its special topics modules, and the PSID Child Development Supplement and PSID Transition into Adulthood Supplement. The workshop pairs instructional sessions led by experienced PSID researchers and staff with guided lab sessions in which users construct their own analytic data files. The virtual workshop will be held 10am-4pm EDT each day. Activities will be divided between recorded lecture content and live (virtual classroom) discussion and labs, allowing ample time for breaks. Additional office hours will be available to allow participants to meet with instructors individually. Course management will be through Canvas and class meetings will be held on Zoom. The workshop is open to predoctoral students, postdoctoral fellows, college and university faculty, and professional researchers. Applications received by April 16 will be given priority for enrollment. There is a $100 workshop enrollment fee for admitted participants.

TAS-2017 collected data from 2,526 young adults aged 18-28 years in PSID families. The final release, version 2 of the TAS-2017 data file, is now available in the PSID Data Center. A User Guide, Questionnaire, Codebook, and Video Tutorial are also available. A new sample weight has been added to this version of the TAS-2017 data file. The "Weight for Participants Prior CDS/TAS" (TA171989) is a panel weight that can be used to analyze the cohort of Respondents who participated in TAS 2017 and a prior wave of CDS.

This conference will provide new and experienced researchers with a forum to present preliminary results and to obtain comments and feedback from experienced PSID data users and PSID study staff.

Submissions are welcome on any topic, from researchers in any field, that use data from the Panel Study of Income Dynamics or its supplements.

A total of 20 to 25 papers will be accepted for the conference, either for presentation or as posters.

PSID announces a small grant competition that will fund 8 to 12 grants in the range of $8,000–$12,000 each to conduct research with data from the PSID Child Development Supplement (CDS) and/or the PSID Transition into Adulthood Supplement (TAS). Funded projects will generate papers that will be presented, along with other invited posters and presentations, at the 2021 PSID User Conference, tentatively scheduled for 16–17 September 2021.

The goals of this competition are to encourage scholars to use CDS or TAS data to generate scientific and policy-relevant findings and to facilitate future research and collaborations including proposal submissions to the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
