The CUNY Institute for Demographic Research
The CUNY Institute for Demographic Research (CIDR) supports and convenes demographic research throughout the City University of New York. The Institute leads the intellectual community of demographers in the New York Metropolitan area, and fosters connections among population researchers across disciplines within CUNY and with collaborators in New York City and beyond. >>
Faculty & Staff
CIDR is comprised of affiliates from many of the 24 CUNY campuses. Building on the presence of more than 30 demographers CUNY-wide, the City University of New York hired nine new faculty members in the field during the past few years. >>
Demographic Research
With CUNY’s demography cluster initiative, the University has created the Institute, a home where scholars can gather to exchange ideas and receive the support necessary to accomplish the research agendas they establish. This engagement takes many forms, including cross-campus collaborations of faculty and students, development and support for new research and training initiatives, and a vibrant seminar series sponsored by the Institute. >>
Certificate Program in Demography
The Certificate Program in Demography is the first demographic training program in the New York metropolitan area. The CUNY Institute for Demographic Research serves as a focal point for this program. >>
