International Research Hub
The International Research Hub is a joint program between the Survey Research Center and the Population Studies Center. It was created in 2025 to support University of Michigan faculty and staff working on international research, with an emphasis on data collection and representative studies of general populations.
Life Course Development
Founded in 1957, Life Course Development (LCD) aims to expand knowledge of social relationships across the lifespan and their implications for mental and physical health. LCD examines a wide variety of relationships, identifying the aspects of relationships that are most beneficial and/or harmful to health and whether these associations vary by demographic and contextual factors. With this knowledge, the program hopes to help in the design and implementation of intervention and prevention programs.
