Track 2 List
Track 2 involves longer-term projects and involves groups of researchers who have already made a commitment to work on this extended project. More specifically, these tracks further empirical work started before the conference in key substantive areas. Because these teams typically have gathered data before the conference, the time together at the conference provides an opportunity for data analysis and focused writing.
