The
Urban and Regional Planning program invites applications from students
interested in a combination of a planning Ph.D. and a Certificate in
Survey Methodology. The Robert W. Marans Fellows fund was created to
support study in survey research by incoming doctoral students in Urban
+ Regional Planning or Architecture. Students should indicate their
interest in their statement of purpose.
For more information

Certificate in Survey Methodology, see http://www.isr.umich.edu/gradprogram/certificate.htm
About Robert W. Marans
Robert Marans, B.Arch.'57, Ph.D.'71, is an emeritus professor of architecture and urban planning, as
well as a research professor at the UM Institute for Social Research. In the
latter capacity, Marans served as principal investigator for the Detroit Area
Study in 2001 and 1980. Conducted annually for nearly 50 years, the study surveys
Detroit metro-area residents to produce high-quality data that assist in public
policy formation, support scholarly research, and train students. His extensive
body of research is firmly grounded in his equally extensive community involvement,
including serving as commissioner of the Huron-Clinton Metroparks and as a board
member of the Washtenaw Land Trust, the Detroit Riverfront Conservancy, and the
Michigan Land Use Institute.
