Follow us Marshall Weinberg Research Funds
 After graduating from Michigan, Marshall Weinberg (BA 1950) spent a year of graduate studies at Harvard, went on to Columbia University's Graduate School of Business, and then launched his professional career at the New York investment firm Herzfeld & Stern. |
Marshall Weinberg has long been concerned with population issues, in particular how malnutrition, poor health, and lack of education affect societies and how populations impact the environment. Weinberg's philanthropy encompasses these areas at the University of Michigan and beyond.
Here at the Population Studies Center, he has established a number of funds to support PSC trainees and researchers involved in international efforts related to critical population issues.
"I determined that the Population Studies Center is one of the great institutions of its kind in the country," Weinberg says. "And friends told me that I'd do well to invest in the Center."
These awards may be used flexibly in ways the recipients feel will best enhance their ability to complete their research goals. Research Fellowships are distributed to PSC trainees and students through an internal review and approval process.
The Marshall Weinberg Endowment Fund is intended to support junior faculty, postdoctoral fellows and students in conducting research benefiting international populations. The applicant must be a graduate student, postdoctoral fellows, or junior faculty member at the Population Studies Center. MORE INFORMATION
The Marshall Weinberg Research Fellowship is intended to support the dissertation work of an outstanding graduate student or trainee at the Population Studies Center. Fellowships are awarded through an annual faculty nomination process. For more information, contact Heather MacFarland.
The Marshall Weinberg Population, Development, and Climate Change Fellowship provides funding support for students who are considering, or already engaged in, research at the intersection of climate change, demography, and development. Proposed activities must integrate all three substantive areas and have an international component. MORE INFORMATION
The Marshall Weinberg International Travel Fund is intended to support educational and learning experiences abroad for PSC students and trainees.
