DUPRI researchers are Duke scholars who hold regular rank appointments and are appointed by the Executive Committee based on their interest and achievements in the population sciences. DUPRI research scholars are actively engaged in population research through diverse and compelling grants portfolios, publications in major population scholarly journals, active membership in the Population Association of America (PAA) and leadership positions in the population sciences community.
