ACJS Doctoral Summit

Causal Inference for Multilevel Data | Statistics Seminar This online Distinguished Speaker workshop by Stephen Raudenbush, Ed.D., explores causal inference concepts and methods in multilevel settings.

Join us May 28th for “Causal Inference for Multilevel Data” w/ our next Distinguished Speaker, Stephen Raudenbush. Explore how causal effects emerge in multilevel contexts & learn to estimate #causal effects in randomized trials, observational studies, and natural experiments.

My colleagues and I are following news of OJP grant cancellations. As is true more broadly, if you have a research project with a strong causal design that you need funding to complete, please send us a proposal! We will do our best to expedite time-sensitive requests.
