  • Cultivating faculty strength in population and health in Anthropology, Economics, Geography, Psychology, Sociology, Public Policy, Human Sciences, Statistics, Public Health, Nursing, and Agricultural, Environmental, and Development Economics;
  • Fostering new large-scale collaborative multidisciplinary research projects that can compete successfully for external funding;
  • Involving and mentoring junior faculty and nurturing their interests and skills;
  • Providing demographic training for students across diverse but allied disciplines.
