# Social Science Training Program in Population Studies

> **NIH NIH T32** · UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN AT ANN ARBOR · 2020 · $552,773

## Abstract

PROJECT SUMMARY
The Population Studies Center (PSC) of the University of Michigan requests a five-year renewal of our NICHD
Ruth L. Kirschstein National Research Service Award Institutional Training Grant (T32) for training in
demography. Established in 1961, PSC is one of the oldest population centers in the United States, with a
distinguished record of domestic and international population research and training. This application requests
funding for 10 pre-doctoral and 1 post-doctoral trainee slots. The University's highly ranked social science
departments and professional schools, in combination with the unique strengths of the Institute for Social
Research, make the University of Michigan an exceptionally rich environment for demographic research and
training. Supported by NICHD T32 training grants since 1969, the Center's training program is integrally
connected to its strong portfolio of individual research grants from NICHD, other NIH institutes, NSF, and major
foundations.
The proposed training program is conducted in close collaboration with the departments of Economics, Public
Health, Sociology, and Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy. It will provide specialized demographic training
to selected predoctoral and postdoctoral trainees. Our research and training programs are characterized by a
number of thematic areas of excellence, including fertility, children, and families; social inequality and
stratification; aging and health; data collection methodologies; and statistical methodologies. The recent record
of the program in trainee recruitment and professional placement is excellent, with trainees moving into top
academic and non-academic positions and producing high-quality research published in leading journals.
