PROJECT SUMMARY Across the past five decades, data creation investments in the U.S. and Western Europe have spurred dramatic breakthroughs in the social and behavioral sciences. The creation of large scientific studies of human behavior and social experience in the general population form a crucial cornerstone of these investments. Because the data from these studies are so important for the construction and evaluation of public policies and programs to improve the health and wellbeing of the population, NICHD places a high scientific priority on research educational tools that significantly expand the scientific use of such data. The primary limitation of these research education efforts thus far is an exclusive focus on data from the U.S. population. This greatly restricts the ability to test the external validity of key findings, raising the possibility that even within the U.S. population findings from any particular study population may not apply to important sub-populations. Research education on data resources from populations living under circumstances quite different from the U.S. and Western Europe are urgently needed so that social and behavioral scientists can quickly and easily test the breadth of external validity of key findings as well as to advance understanding of these different populations. We will leverage NICHD's long-term investment in the Chitwan Valley Family Study (CVFS) in Nepal to achieve this high priority objective. We will implement a series of educational, research tool construction, and continuing education activities designed to significantly increase the quality and quantity of international population science. The CVFS is an excellent international population science training resource, featuring a 24-year whole-family panel study with many important characteristics. These include dynamic measures of child health, contraceptive use, mental health, and community context with both DNA and migrant interviews for all family members. We will use this special resource to launch a new multimedia educational program focused on international population science. The program will feature an integrated set of topical short courses, web-based access to those courses, education on high priority longitudinal research tools, innovative “always available” learning tools, and archived tutorials. The importance of international population research continues to grow as interconnections across populations increase. Dynamics of migration, commerce, digital media use, and violent conflict all increase the need for thorough scientific understanding of population dynamics in far- away settings. Our program will supply training in international population research skills to enable higher quality and quantity of research. The tools can be applied to advance science using repeated cross-sectional surveys, surveillance data, longitudinal panel studies, or random control trial studies. Our educational program will feature illustrations with the NICHD Population Dynamics Branch's (PDB) highest scientific priorities: studying contraceptive use and non-use, health across the life course, and the role of genetic factors.

项目总结 在过去的50年里，美国和西欧的数据创造投资刺激了 在社会和行为科学方面取得了重大突破。对人类进行大科学研究的创举 普通人群的行为和社会经验构成了这些投资的重要基石。 因为这些研究的数据对于公共政策的构建和评估以及 为了改善人们的健康和福祉，NICHD将高度科学优先放在 研究教育工具，显著扩大此类数据的科学使用。的主要限制是 到目前为止，这些研究教育努力只关注来自美国人口的数据。这一点很大 限制了测试关键发现的外部有效性的能力，增加了即使在美国国内也可能 任何特定研究群体的总体研究结果可能不适用于重要的亚群体。研究 对生活在与美国和美国截然不同的环境中的人群进行数据资源教育 西欧是迫切需要的，这样社会和行为科学家才能快速而轻松地测试 关键发现的外部有效性的广度以及促进对这些不同人群的了解。 我们将利用NICHD对尼泊尔奇特万山谷家庭研究(CVFS)的长期投资来 实现这一高优先级目标。实施一系列教育、科研工具建设， 旨在显著提高国际学生素质和数量的继续教育活动 人口科学。CVFS是一个优秀的国际人口科学培训资源，具有 24年的全家小组研究具有许多重要特点。这些措施包括动态测量 儿童健康、避孕用具使用、心理健康和社区背景与DNA和移民访谈 为所有的家庭成员。我们将利用这一特殊资源推出一个新的多媒体教育项目 专注于国际人口科学。该计划将以一套综合的专题短期课程为特色， 基于网络访问的那些课程，关于教育的高优先级纵向研究工具，总是创新的 可用的“学习工具”和存档的教程。国际人口研究的重要性仍在继续 随着人口之间相互联系的增加而增长。移民、商业、数字媒体使用的动态， 和暴力冲突都增加了对远东地区人口动态的彻底科学理解的必要性。 离开设置。我们的计划将提供国际人口研究技能的培训，以使更高的 研究的质量和数量。这些工具可以应用于通过重复横截面来推进科学 调查、监测数据、纵向小组研究或随机对照试验研究。我们的教育项目 将以NICHD人口动力学分部(PDB)最高科学优先事项的插图为特色： 研究避孕药的使用和不使用、生命过程中的健康以及遗传因素的作用。
