IPUMS is excited to announce the winners of its annual IPUMS Research Awards. These awards honor both published research and nominated graduate student papers from 2025 that use IPUMS data to advance or deepen our understanding of social and demographic processes. The 2025 competition awarded prizes for both published and graduate student research in eight categories, each associated with specific IPUMS data collections: IPUMS USA, IPUMS CPS, IPUMS International, IPUMS Health Surveys, IPUMS Spatial, IPUMS Global Health, IPUMS Time Use, and IPUMS Excellence in Research. Over 2,200 publications based on IPUMS data appeared in journals, magazines, and newspapers worldwide last year. From these publications and from nominated graduate student papers, the award committees selected the 2025 honorees.
