PhD-level researchers at Penn State: do you want to learn about applying cutting-edge methods in your work but have trouble finding time? Try A Taste of Methodology, a semiannual workshop series for faculty with lunch included. The objective is to provide you an efficient way to assess a method’s potential for your research.

This semester’s workshop is “Propensity Score Methods for Causal Analysis,” presented by Methodology Center Principal Investigator Donna Coffman. The three-hour workshop will include an introduction to propensity score methods for causal inference in non-randomized data, examples, resources, and a discussion of how to apply these methods to your work. The workshop is FREE and open to all PhD-level scientists as Penn State.

The workshop will be on Thursday, May 2, from 10:30 a.m. – 1:30 p.m. at the Bennett Pierce Living Center, 110 Henderson Building. A Taste of Methodology is co-sponsored by the Social Science Research Institute (SSRI).
