ASSOCIATION OF POPULATION CENTERS 2017 Resource Guide

Greetings –

On behalf of the Association of Population Centers (APC), I am delighted to share with you the 2017 edition of the APC Resource Guide, a compendium of individual profiles of the nation s premier independent population research organizations. In these pages you will find a comprehensive overviewof the current state of population science, including: areas of inquiry; interdisciplinary and cross-institutional collaborations; and, applications to real-world decision-making and policy development.

Founded in 1991, the Association of Population Centers (APC) is an independent group of universities and research organizations whose mission is to:

• Foster collaborative demographic research and data sharing• Translate basic population research for public policy decision-makers• Provide educational and training opportunities in population studies

Approximately three dozen academic and private research institutions nationwide comprise the APC. The centers are inherently interdisciplinary, drawing faculty and research staff from diverse fields suchas biology, demography, economics, geography, history, medicine, public health, public policy, and sociology. Scholars at APC centers are committed to studying and communicating the implications of population change. Their diverse interests include topics such as retirement, minority health, aging, adolescent health, childcare, immigration and migration, family formation and dissolution, fertility, morbidity and mortality, and population forecasting. This research, in turn, serves to inform planning, policy formulation and decision-making at the local, regional and national levels.

APC centers rely on a number of public and private funding sources to support their scientists’ research. The National Institute on Aging and the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development at the National Institutes of Health provide most of the competitive federal funding for demographic research. The National Science Foundation and the Agency for International Development are two other important sources of federal support. Population researchers also rely on accessible data produced by the Census Bureau, the National Center for Health Statistics, the National Center for Education Statistics, and the Bureau of Labor Statistics to conduct their research.

Mission Statement

The Population Council, an international, nonprofit, nongovernmental organization, seeks to improve the well-being and reproductive health of current and future generations around the world and to help achieve a humane, equitable, and sustainable balance between people and resources. The Mission is accomplished through three program areas: Reproductive Health (RH); HIV and AIDS; and Poverty, Gender and Youth (PGY).


• Vulnerable populations, including youth & adolescents • Social aspects of poverty• Gender, gender inequality, and gender-based violence • Social science and health-related research into

the social, behavioral, and biomedical aspects of HIV and AIDS and reproductive health

• Development of testing and innovative contraceptive technologies

• Methodological innovations• Early marriage and strategies to

increase the age at marriage • Development and testing of microbicides

to prevent transmission of HIV and other sexually transmitted infections (STIs)

Research to Policy • The Council’s evidence on

disrespectful and abusive care in maternal and reproductive health settings was instrumental in the development of the Respectful Maternity Care (RMC) Charter on the Universal Rights of Childbearing Women and informed the World Health Organization’s 2014 statement on the Prevention and Elimination of Disrespect and Abuse during Childbirth.

• The Council will share findings and policy and program recommendations from research on the quality and effectiveness of strategies to reduce gender-based violence in Bihar and support the government in the expansion of successful interventions.

• The Ghana AIDS Commission used Council evidence to shape Ghana’s National HIV and AIDS Operational Plan 2014–2015 and the National Strategic Plan for HIV and AIDS 2016–2020.

Mission Statement

The mission of the Department of Demography is to create new knowledge and provide training intended to increase the understanding of the size, distribution, composition and growth of human populations. Our applied demography program focuses on developing an understanding of the conceptual basis of population structure, processes, analytical methods, and related policy issues. The aim of the program is to carry out applied research and to train Ph.D. students to use demographic knowledge in a variety of settings including government at all levels, private firms, and academia. We understand applied demography in the wider sense of policy-relevant and practical decision-making demographic research.

Mission Statement

The Center for Public Information on Population Research (CPIPR) at the Population Reference Bureau (PRB) explains and publicizes the findings of population research and their implications. The Center serves the entire field of population sciences, by translating research into information that can be used by individuals, families, and decision makers in the public and private sectors.


As primarily a dissemination center, our activities include: • Writing, producing, and disseminating web articles and

Population Bulletins highlighting recent demographic research findings from other population centers

• Hosting webinars to raise awareness of population issues and research findings in the U.S. and internationally

• Organizing and hosting symposia and Congressional Briefings on population topics with policy implications, and posting webcasts and videos of symposia and briefings on the CPIPR website

• Using social media to make demographic research findings accessible to a broad audience



Departmental Affiliations CPIPR is connected to the research community through its advisory committee drawn from universities and other institutions engaged in population research as well as through the PRB staff. The Center is based at PRB, an institution that specializes in communication about population issues to nontechnical audiences around the world. Staff in PRB’s Communications, International, and U.S. Programs departments have developed and implemented activities that increase awareness and understanding of population issues and research among government and private-sector decision makers, journalists, educators, the media, and interested citizens.
