Review of the Population Research Infrastructure Program (PRIP) 2004

This report summarizes the results of an initial evaluation of the Population Research Infrastructure Program (PRIP) of the Demographic and Behavioral Sciences Branch (DBSB), NICHD.

The PRIP seeks to support infrastructure and development activities that advance population research at centers of excellence throughout the country, in order to: (1) enhance the quality and quantity of population research conducted at an institution, and (2) develop new research capabilities to advance population research through innovative approaches. A central objective is to facilitate interdisciplinary collaboration and innovation in population research, while providing essential and cost-effective core services in support of the development, conduct, and translation of population research based in centers or comparable administrative units
