About Us - Overview
Research at CSDE continues to advance knowledge on the fundamental issues of demography—-fertility and family change, migration, health and mortality—with new data, new conceptual approaches, and new techniques, as well as to ask new questions about demographic behaviors and population outcomes. The Center provides research support services and educational opportunities to its members through its graduate student, postdoctoral and mid-career professional training; computer lab and services; administrative support for grants, statistical consulting; library collection and information services; support in use of biomarkers in research; working paper series; and weekly research seminar. The Center’s main source of funding comes from its substantial and growing portfolio of research, training and infrastructure grants. A summary of current grant funding can be found on the 2008 CSDE Fact Sheet.
