MPC members can apply to use the services of a 20-hour per week graduate research assistant for a short period of time (typically up to 4 weeks). Priority is given to projects that (a) have a population studies focus, broadly construed; (b) can quickly result in a publication and/or grant proposal; (c) can clearly benefit from short-term research assistance; and (d) do not already have external funding. Preference will be given to junior faculty.

-
