IPUMS RESEARCH AWARDS
We are pleased to announce the 10th annual IPUMS Research Awards competition. We are looking for papers that use innovative approaches, comparative analyses, and multiple IPUMS datasets. In short, we are looking for papers that use the data to its full potential.
The IPUMS Spatial award, for work using NHGIS or IPUMS Terra, is new this year, joining awards for best papers using IPUMS USA or CPS, International or NAPP, and the National Health Interview Series data from IPUMS Health Surveys. Cash prizes will be awarded for best published work and best graduate student work (published or unpublished) in the four categories, for a total of 8 awards.
Deadline for submission is March 1, 2018. For more information on eligibility and the submission process, visit the IPUMS Research Awards page.

CPS WORKSHOP
IPUMS is accepting applications for the IPUMS CPS Summer Data Workshop. The workshop will familiarize researchers with the under-utilized panel component of the Current Population Survey (CPS). The CPS is an ongoing labor force survey in the U.S. Data are available annually back to 1962 with monthly data available since 1976. The 2018 IPUMS CPS Workshop is targeted toward graduate students, postdoctoral fellows and early-career faculty from social science disciplines. The workshop will include presentations from the research team that developed IPUMS CPS and other experienced CPS researchers, lab sessions that provide hands-on experience with using the CPS as a longitudinal dataset, and small-group sessions where participants will discuss their own CPS research ideas with others who have similar interests.
Applications are due March 2, 2018. For more details, visit cps.ipums.org/workshops.
