Population Research Infrastructure Program (PRIP)

The Demographic and Behavioral Sciences Branch (DBSB) supports infrastructure for research that is relevant to the mission of DBSB at leading universities and research centers throughout the United States. The central goal of the Population Research Infrastructure Program is to facilitate interdisciplinary collaboration and innovation in population research, while providing essential and cost-effective resources in support of the development, conduct, and translation of population research. Under this Program, funds may be requested to support infrastructure and/or research designed to: 1) enhance the quality and quantity of relevant research conducted at an institution; and 2) develop new research capabilities to advance population research through innovative approaches. Two types of awards are available through this mechanism. Research Infrastructure Awards (R24) provide a commitment of five years of support and are renewable in five-year increments. Developmental Infrastructure Awards (R21) support the development and demonstration of the feasibility of programs that have high potential for advancing population research, but have not yet fully developed the necessary resources and mechanisms to qualify for a Research Infrastructure Award. Research Infrastructure Awards are solicited through request for applications (RFAs) issued by the DBSB; Developmental Infrastructure Awards are solicited through a program announcement (PA). The most recent RFA and PA can be found at the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts Web site http://grants1.nih.gov/grants/guide/index.html.

Current grantees are listed below. Interested parties are encouraged to visit the relevant Web site or to contact the relevant center director for additional information.
