The Center for Retirement Research at Boston College (CRR) was established in 1998 as part of the Retirement Research Consortium (RRC).[3] In 2018, the CRR received renewed support from the U.S. Social Security Administration under the Retirement and Disability Research Consortium (RDRC).[4] The RDRC includes parallel centers at the National Bureau of Economic Research.,[5] the University of Michigan[6] and the University of Wisconsin–Madison.[7] The center is a non-profit research institute, affiliated with the Carroll School of Management at Boston College.[8] All of the CRR's research and publications are available to the public on its website.[9]
The center sponsors multiple research projects and disseminates the findings, trains new scholars, and provides access to data on retirement.[10] [11] [12] [13] [14]
Dissemination and publications
The Center distributes its research findings to an audience of government, corporate and labor leaders, the media, and the general public through a variety of publications.
- Issues in Brief:[15] – analyses of topical issues.
- Working Papers:[16] – in-depth review of research issues.
- Special Projects:[17] – initiatives that go beyond the scope of the center's standard research studies. The most recent special projects include: Public Plans Data website,[18] the National Retirement Risk Index,[19] The Social Security Claiming Guide,[20] The Social Security Fix-It Book,[21] a broad assessment of "Work Opportunities for Older Americans,"[22] and the Financial Security Project.[23]

The programs are funded by the U.S. Social Security Administration to provide opportunities for scholars to pursue projects on retirement and disability issues.
