Activities at KPC
A new initiative of the KPC is to provide project website space for researchers working or planning to work on population studies. The only eligibility criterion is that the research activity should include at least one KPC affiliate (on- or off-campus). If you would like to use this service, please submit a two-page summary of the research to the KPC. Online submission is encouraged. The summary should describe the research project, the personnel involved, and the demographic aspect of the research. If you need more information, please contact us.
