Research

CFDR affiliates conduct cutting edge population science research in areas aligned with the mission of the Population Dynamics Branch of the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child and Human Development. Their scholarship spans four primary research areas (PRAs): (1) Family Demography; (2) Reproductive and Sexual Health; (3) Health Disparities; and (4) Adolescent to Adult Development. Each Affiliate works in at least one PRA, but many have research interests that span the PRAs.

Attention CFDR Affiliates: The NICHD infrastructure award to support the CFDR concluded in May 2023. Consequently, affiliates should only acknowledge the Center's support on research that was directly supported by CFDR grant funds, such as a seed grant awarded by CFDR.
