The Center for Public Information on Population Research at the Population Reference Bureau explains and publicizes the findings of population research and their implications. The Center serves the entire field of population sciences, by translating research into information that can be used by decisionmakers in the public and private sectors, individuals and families.

Center activities include

• Writing and disseminating news releases about recent demographic research;
• Writing background materials and research summaries to put new research into context for journalists and policy audiences;
• Organizing seminars, conferences, and professional development seminars on population topics with policy implications; and
• Providing information services for the media and the public.

The Center's director is William P. Butz, who also is the president and CEO of PRB. Eight distinguished affiliates from population research centers across the United States guide and contribute to the Center's work. PRB staff members working on Center projects include demographers, editors, and writers with experience as working journalists.

The Center is funded by a grant from the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health & Human Development.

The Population Reference Bureau is the leader in providing timely and objective information on U.S. and international population trends and their implications.
