The Bixby Center for Population, Health, and Sustainability

Core Research Projects

We conduct research in regions with persistently high birth rates and constrained access to contraceptive methods. We work to produce reliable information for population policy including barriers to fertility regulation, ease of access to contraception, safe motherhood, and the management and financing of family planning in resource scarce regions.

Special Programs & Initiatives

The Bixby Center has special programs and initiatives that address complex multi-factorial population issues and development challenges. These programs include The OASIS Initiative in the Sahel region in Africa, Global Reproductive Health, and Women's Empowerment.
