This grant provides support to organize an annual, intensive, week-long training program at the University of California Berkeley introduces second- and third-year doctoral students interested in energy and environmental economics to state-of-the-art research in the field.  Each year approximately 60 doctoral students from universities across the country arrive in Berkeley to receive rigorous training in energy and environmental economics and have the opportunity to interact with leading faculty in the field. Nearly a semester’s worth of content is presented in a condensed period of time, helping students participants gain the knowledge necessary to undertake more in-depth research when they return to their home institutions. Grant funds will provide support for a number of student scholarships, with a specific focus on increasing the number of women and underrepresented minorities participants and strengthening mentorship activities over the course of the training program.
