The Center for Family and Demographic Research is a proud affiliate of BGSU's campus and community.

The Center for Family & Demographic Research

The Center for Family and Demographic Research (CFDR) is a leading population center that provides infrastructure support and a stimulating intellectual environment to advance knowledge in four primary research areas: family demography, sexual and reproductive health, health disparities, and adolescent and young adult development. Bringing together faculty affiliates from a range of disciplines, the Center amplifies campus research capacity, mentors junior scholars, and fosters multidisciplinary collaborations that generate innovative population science.
