About
The Population Research Center (PRC) aims to provide outstanding infrastructure resources and sustain a dynamic interdisciplinary culture geared toward facilitating the highest level of population-related research among its faculty members, postdoctoral scholars, and graduate trainees. The PRC supports research that moves well beyond the bounds of traditional demography to the cutting edge of population research.
To advance our research agenda, we provide PRC Faculty Scholars with state-of-the-art administrative and scientific and technical services as well as a dedicated development team. Further, we support researchers by organizing grant development activities, by organizing a Friday Seminar Series, and by providing dedicated space to conduct research and training activities.
Most of our research is concentrated in four overlapping and reinforcing thematic areas: Population Health and Well-Being, Reproductive, Maternal and Infant Health, Family Demography and Human Development and Education, Work, and Institutions. Many PRC researchers work in more than one of these overlapping and reinforcing areas, and in collaborative, interdisciplinary teams.
