The Donald J. Treiman Research Fellowship supports graduate students’ demographic research. The CCPR community is deeply grateful to Professor Donald J. Treiman for his many contributions to the Center, including his generous donation that established this fellowship in 2014. Don Treiman is a founding member of CCPR, and he served as Director 2006-08. Throughout his distinguished career, he has demonstrated a steadfast commitment to mentoring graduate students, helping them master the tools of demographic research and supporting their efforts to publish scholarly work—a legacy that remains unparalleled.
The Treiman Fellowship is awarded annually to support demographic research. The award is $6,000. An additional $500 is available to support travel to a professional meeting, contingent upon the presentation of research findings in a paper or poster session at an approved academic conference. The competition is open to substantive and methodological approaches of all types in the field of population studies. Students must be graduate affiliates of CCPR at the time of application. CCPR students at all career stages and all nationalities, regardless of citizenship, are encouraged to apply.
