The Population Research Institute: Development Core

项目概要：PRI开发核心 发展核心是人口中创新、生产力和科学影响的孵化器 研究所（PRI）。开发核心的目标是培养员工开发新产品的能力。 通过提供种子赠款资金、指导和咨询、合作机会， 和接触人口动态学的新进展。发展核心活动优先考虑初级教师 成员的成长对研究的独立性和成功。发展核心还促进 研究和合作内部和跨PRI的主要研究领域：社区，邻里和 空间过程;移徙、移民和移民融合;家庭、网络和福祉; 人口健康。该核心由国际刑法改革协会副主任领导，并配备人员支持发展 特定于核心的活动，同时最大限度地提高PRI中其他核心提供的服务效率。 发展核心的具体目标是：（1）管理和监督PRI种子赠款计划， 培养新的创新性人口动态研究和该领域的新领导人。该方案灵活， 最好地满足PRI员工的需求，特别是终身教职研究人员;（2）培养知识分子 合作和跨学科的交流教师之间有共同的研究兴趣，通过 （3）促进传播新思想、创新方法和新方向， 通过内部和外部发言人论坛进行人口动态研究;（4）将切割- 边缘人口科学和创新方法在PRI的主要研究领域，通过签名 活动和重点研讨会，包括通过与 计算和空间分析核心。发展核心的活动不仅旨在 支持在宾夕法尼亚州立大学的同事，但也增加获得发展活动 在人口科学中的应用

Project Summary: PRI Development Core The Development core is the incubator for innovation, productivity, and scientific impact in the Population Research Institute (PRI). The Development core’s objective is to foster associates’ ability to develop new population research by providing seed grant funding, mentorship and consultation, opportunities to collaborate, and exposure to new advances in population dynamics. The Development core activities prioritize junior faculty members’ growth towards research independence and success. The Development core also promotes research and collaboration within and across PRI’s primary research areas: Communities, Neighborhoods and Spatial Processes; Migration, Immigration and Immigrant Integration; Families, Networks and Well-Being; Population Health. The core is directed by the PRI Associate Director and is staffed to support development activities specific to the core while maximizing the efficiency of services provided by the other cores in PRI. The specific aims of the Development core are: (1) To administer and oversee the PRI seed grant program to foster new innovative population dynamics research and new leaders in the field. The program is flexible to best meet the needs of PRI associates, especially pre-tenure researchers; (2) To foster intellectual collaboration and interdisciplinary exchanges among faculty members with common research interests through working groups; (3) To facilitate dissemination of new ideas, innovative methods, and new directions for population dynamics research through forums for internal and external speakers and; (4) To infuse cutting- edge population science and innovative methods across the primary research areas at PRI through signature events and focused workshops including a burgeoning, hands-on workshop series through collaboration with the Computation and Spatial Analysis core. The activities of the Development core are designed not only to support associates at the Pennsylvania State University but also to increase access to development activities in population science more broadly.
