NextGenPop is two-week summer research program on population science. The program will be held this summer at Duke University; participants are provided with funding for travel, room and board, and a stipend. Applications are due February 5, 2024.
The program aims to increase the diversity of the population field and nurture the next generation of population scientists. Students from underrepresented groups are strongly encouraged to apply.
NextGenPop Fellows will study population composition and change through the lens of pressing contemporary issues, including race and income inequalities, health disparities, immigration, and family change. The program includes an in-person, on-campus summer experience and subsequent virtual components focused on research and professional development, as well as opportunities for mentorship and networking at the Annual Meeting of the Population Association of America (PAA). The program provides a stipend, room, board, and travel support.
NextGenPop activities are coordinated by PAA and supported by an expert advisory committee and consortium of population research centers from universities across the United States. Funding comes from the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development of the National Institutes of Health (R25 HD105602, PIs Marcy Carlson and Kelly Musick).
Interested students can contact Sarah Hayford, director of the Institute for Population Reserach, with any questions about the program or application process.
