Duke Center for Population Health and Aging

With a legacy that extends well over four decades, the Duke Center for Population Health and Aging (CPHA) provides a synergistic, interdisciplinary environment for advancing cutting-edge research and cultivating faculty and students focused on the study of Aging.

The Center has three major intellectual commitments in the  overlapping areas of Biodemography (biological and biomedical demography of aging), Life Course Studies and Intergenerational Studies, including the transmission of health and longevity.

CPHA has received continuous funding from the Division of Social and Behavioral Research of the National Institute on Aging (NIA) and support from the Duke University and the Provost Office since 2009.

Seminar Series

The Seminar Series is a weekly lecture series that features Duke scholars as well as nationally and internationally recognized population researchers.

The seminars not only showcase important population science research from around the globe, but also provide opportunities for Duke faculty and students to meet with featured or visiting scholars and discuss their work, receive feedback on their own research and lay the groundwork for future collaborative projects.
