The Center for Public Policy in Diverse Societies supports empirical and programmatic approaches to understanding the role of diversity in public policy. A primary means of doing this is through our annual grant program, which awards grants to projects that contribute to academic research on diversity or enrich the broader community's engagement with issues of diversity. University of Michigan faculty, post-doctoral fellows, and students of all levels are eligible to apply for program or research grants.

The hallmark of the Center for Public Policy in Diverse Societies is the recognition that public policy initiatives must be understood within the context of growing societal diversity.  The center builds on intellectual resources from around the University as well as those already present at the Ford School to address relevant programs and interests.
