Established in 1998, the California
Center for Population Research (CCPR) is a cooperative of UCLA faculty
who carry out basic and applied research and training in demography.
CCPR comprises over 60 active faculty researchers from the disciplines
of anthropology, economics, epidemiology, geography, human resources & organizational behavior,
law, medicine (pediatrics and psychiatry), population, psychology, community health services, public policy,
social welfare, sociology, and urban planning. CCPR researchers span several schools---including
the College of Letters and Sciences, the School of Public Health, the School of Medicine, and the
School of Public Affairs---and multiple academic departments within
UCLA. The Center receives financial support from the UCLA Vice
Chancellor for Research and the College of Letters and Sciences, from an
NICHD Infrastructure Support (R24) grant, and from faculty research
grants from a variety of public and private sponsors, including the
National Institutes of Health, the National Science Foundation, the
Russell Sage Foundation, and the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation.
