Workshops and Outreach Activities

Phase 1: 2004 workshop on postdoc policies and practices
A workshop conducted by SRS to inform later stages of the postdoc data project. The specific goals were to obtain:

  • Perspectives on the best methods to meet these needs
The participants represented a range of organizations and institutions with interests in postdoc training and funding, such as:
  • Current postdocs
  • Former postdocs
  • Representatives from funding organizations that support postdocs
  • Representatives from academic institutions that support postdocs
  • Researchers who use postdoc data
The workshop was conducted in Virginia during December, 2004.
