About C-DASA

Founded in 2007, the Center for Demographic and Social Analysis formalizes a decade of highly productive collaboration between faculty in a dozen departments. With nearly 50 faculty affiliates and 30 associated graduate students, C-DASA is the focal point for a host of population-related research activities at UCI.

Linking campus researchers and distinguished visitors, the weekly Population, Society and Inequality Seminar Series fosters dialogue on current research, funding opportunities, analytic approaches, new data sets, and other research resources. C-DASA provides small seed grants, especially to encourage multi-disciplinary projects, collaborative studies, externally-funded grants, and research by junior faculty. The Center aims not only to promote exciting intellectual exchanges, but also to create the infrastructure to empower innovative population research of the highest quality.

Support for C-DASA and its activities comes from Research and Graduate Studies and the School of Social Sciences.
