OVERALL COMPONENT: PROJECT SUMMARY
The Population Studies and Training Center (PSTC) promotes innovative research on social, institutional, and
environmental dimensions of population structures and processes fundamental to health and well-being.
Established in 1964, the PSTC benefits from a deep, interdisciplinary network of committed scholars at Brown.
This application describes how a new round of dedicated resources for this dynamic community of 49 faculty
associates will advance knowledge within and across social science and public health fields, and leverage
significant university investment for research activity. The PSTC has three distinctive Signature Institutional
