Only University of Maryland faculty whose research interests fall within MPRC’s research
objectives are eligible. Individuals are appointed as MPRC Faculty Associates based on the following
criteria:
1. Evidence of a scholarly research program or the potential to build such a research program in
population-related issues; and
2. Consistent past, current and/or anticipated success in obtaining population-related grant and
contract research.
Faculty Associates are appointed for a five-year, renewable term. Associate status continues as long as the
member holds a faculty appointment at the University of Maryland and is research- and grant-active in
population-related topics. Faculty Associates will have access to all core services provided by the Center.
Faculty Affiliates of the Maryland Population Research Center differ from Faculty Associates in several ways.
Faculty Affiliates typically do not hold faculty appointments at the University of Maryland and may reside at other
academic, research, or governmental institutions. Affiliates must demonstrate involvement in a collaborative
relationship with an MPRC Faculty Associate(s), and must hold the highest graduate degree in their academic
specialty.
Faculty Affiliate appointments are made by the MPRC director for the length of a grant or for a maximum of three
years and the term is renewable. As is the case with Faculty Associates, Faculty Affiliates must demonstrate
expertise in population-related research or an interest in developing a line of research with a substantial
population component.
Access to core services by Faculty Affiliates is based on demonstrated need for developing or engaging in
collaborative research with an MPRC Faculty Associate.
To better serve University of Maryland graduate students working on research in the field of population sciences,
MPRC created a graduate student association. To learn how to get involved and get affiliated, please visit the
MPRC GSA website.
