Institute for Population Research

IPR's growth since 2006 has accelerated thanks to funds from the OSU Population & Health Targeted Investment in Excellence.

The Institute for Population Research is a multidisciplinary center established in 2000 with the goal of building excellence at Ohio State in population and health research. In 2009 IPR received a $2.2 million 5-year award from the National Institutes of Health, establishing IPR as a premier population research center with signature strengths in the study of family demography, health and health disparities, and population distribution (including immigration). IPR brings together OSU behavioral and health scientists from seven colleges and 17 departments to better understand the health and family outcomes of children, adults and communities. IPR has an active program of seminars and seed grants

After 25 years of dedicated service to Ohio State, our very own Susan Pennington retired at the end of 2018. Thank you so much for your work at IPR. You've been a part of IPR since day 1 and your enthusiasm, commitment, and kindness made the center what it is today. You made everyone's days brighter and your presence is going to be missed. We wish you the very best in your retirement!
