LDI working groups serve to support our overall mission of catalyzing new research, fostering collaboration, and increasing external visibility of our work in specific areas of interest to LDI. Each working group is led by an LDI Senior Fellow, with membership open to all Associate and Senior Fellows who are committed to advancing research and LDI’s mission in the focus areas. Working groups are also open to individuals who are not LDI Fellows, who have expertise in the focus area.
Working groups meet regularly, and work on various activities, such as:
-
Organizing a mini speaker series or 1-day symposium
-
Opportunities to share and receive feedback on research at all stages
-
Submission of a grant proposal
-
Development of new research resources (e.g. shared data resources)
-
Development of new partnerships to facilitate research
-
Engagement with external policymakers and practitioners in areas relevant to research
