SRC Programs
Population, Neurodevelopment & Genetics
The Population, Neurodevelopment and Genetics Program (PNG) is a pioneer and leader in forging linkages across disciplinary perspectives. In addition to the program’s current effort to link developmental, cognitive, clinical, public health, and educational science with neurobiology and genetics, we continue to expand our portfolio and involve new research scholars in other health- and development-related topics from prenatal/infancy through adolescence and on to adulthood and aging, (e.g., cognition, substance use, mental health, problem behavior, environmental toxicants), providing opportunities for synergy and integration of new ideas in the relevant fields.
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.
