This Project Grant award, provided by the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865), aims to develop a large, longitudinal database to study fertility trends among the Amish population in North America. The $274,320 award to The Pennsylvania State University will enable the creation of a comprehensive, geographically-referenced dataset tracking vital events, sociocultural information, and demographic data for approximately 270,000 Amish individuals across 89.6% of the Amish population. This dataset will then be used to test competing theories on the factors driving persistent high fertility rates among the Amish, despite broader societal trends toward declining birth rates in Western populations. The project seeks to disentangle the relative influence of Amish-internal cultural forces versus external socioeconomic factors on Amish fertility patterns. The award has a project period from September 2024 to August 2026.
