Curriculum Vitae

VICKI A. FREEDMAN, Ph.D. May 2018

CAREER BRIEF

Dr. Freedman is a Research Professor at the University of Michigan’s Institute for Social Research. She

is currently the Director of the Michigan Center on the Demography of Aging. Over the past decade

Freedman has held leadership roles in several national survey efforts. She has co-led the National Health

and Aging Trends Study and the National Study of Caregiving since their inception and is an Associate

Director of the Panel Study of Income Dynamics. Through these efforts she has been instrumental in

disseminating new measures to study disability and care needs of older adults. She has published

extensively on the topics of population aging, disability trends and long-term care and has investigated

the connections among disability, time use and wellbeing in later life.

Prior to joining the University of Michigan, Dr. Freedman was a Professor at the School of Public Health

at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey. From 2000-2005 she was affiliated with

Polisher Research Institute, a private, non-profit gerontological research organization (formerly,

Philadelphia Geriatric Center), where she served first as a senior research scientist and then as director.

From 1995 to 2000 she was a research scientist at RAND, a nonprofit, nonpartisan policy research

organization. Freedman has served on over a dozen federal advisory panels and is currently a member of

the Committee on Population of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine. She

earned her doctorate in Epidemiology from Yale University and master’s degree in Demography from

Georgetown University.
