Retirement Research Consortium
The Retirement Research Consortium (RRC) consists of three multidisciplinary centers housed in three separate institutions (Boston College, the University of Michigan, and the National Bureau of Economic Research) and is funded through cooperative agreements with the Social Security Administration. SSA has committed $5 million to the RRC in 2003 and is expected to continue funding over a 5-year period at approximately $5 million per year.
The RRC has three main goals:
- Conduct research and develop research data
- Disseminate information on retirement and SSA-related social policy
- Train scholars and practitioners
To meet these goals, the centers perform many activities. They conduct research projects, prepare policy briefs and working papers, hold an annual conference, and provide research and training support for young scholars. For further information about those activities, affiliated institutions, or individual researchers, please visit the Web sites of the respective institutions:
