*New* The Population Reference Bureau Can Help Publicize Your CSDE-Related Research
Posted: 2/12/2026 ()
Graduate students and affiliates, CSDE encourages you to highlight your research through our partnership with the Population Reference Bureau (PRB) and its Center for Public Information on Population Research. The topics are varied and the briefs are short. You can see recent examples of their write-ups in this story (click read more). To get promising articles (published or forthcoming) in the queue, email mmather@prb.org and copy csde-prgm-coord@uw.edu. Researchers can also submit items using an online form, but email is fastest and simplest. PRB drafts the summaries and sends them to researchers for approval. However, here is a guide for writing a research brief for those who are interested in writing briefs themselves.
