Development Core-Maryland Population Research Center

发展核心的主要使命是发展和促进人口研究， 大学符合我们的四个PRA：性别，家庭和社会变化，社会背景下的健康，社会 和经济不平等，以及移民和移民过程。核心的使命通过以下方式完成： 1)通过研讨会、讲习班和其他活动，促进跨学科参与人口研究 与联邦统计机构和更大的华盛顿特区社区等合作机会; 2)支持我们的教师，特别是初级和URM教师，发展和扩大他们的研究议程， 通过种子赠款资助人口科学; 3）接待常驻和访问人口科学家， 支持和扩大MPRC教职员工的合作机会; 4）促进职业生涯 人口研究中代表性不足的学者，以促进平衡和扩大的观点， 确定人口研究的优先事项; 5）共同主办关于一系列人口问题的专题讨论会和讲习班， 相关问题，以提高我们在UMD的知名度，加强我们的跨学科使命。的 研讨会系列和讲习班为UMD社区提供了一个宝贵的机会， 美国及其他地区其他大学的人口研究人员。种子补助金计划对于 支持制定提交给NIH/PDB、其他联邦机构和基金会的提案。 驻地和访问研究员计划是至关重要的，以提高MPRC的知名度全国， 国际上和更大的华盛顿社区。DC支持URM学者的计划 响应NICHD/PDB和其他联邦资助机构的呼吁，提高URM的知名度 研究人员在人口研究。共同主办研讨会是一种非常有效和具有成本效益的方式， 与UMD的其他实体互动，以提升MPRC在促进UMD人口研究方面的作用。 联系PD/PI：Rendall，Michael Development-Core-001（901） 项目概要/

The Development Core has, as its primary mission, the development and promotion of population research at the university in line with our four PRAs: Gender, Family and Social Change, Health in Social Context, Social and Economic Inequality, and Migrant and Immigrant Processes. The Core's mission is accomplished through: 1) promoting inter-disciplinary engagement in population research through seminars, workshops and other collaborative opportunities including with the Federal statistics agencies and larger Washington DC community; 2) supporting our faculty, in particular junior and URM faculty, to develop and expand their research agenda in the population sciences through Seed Grants; 3) hosting resident and visiting population scientists in order to support and expand collaborative opportunities for MPRC faculty associates; 4) fostering the careers of underrepresented scholars in population research in order to foster balanced and broadened perspectives in setting population research priorities; and 5) co-sponsoring symposia and workshops on a range of population related issues in order to increase our visibility at UMD and strengthen our interdisciplinary mission. The seminar series and workshops offer an invaluable opportunity for the UMD community to engage with population researchers at other universities in the US and beyond. The Seed Grant program is critical to supporting the development of proposals for submission to NIH/PDB, other federal agencies and foundations. The resident and visiting researcher programs are critical to increasing the visibility of MPRC nationally, internationally and to the greater Washington DC community. The DC’s programs to support URM scholars addresses the call by NICHD/PDB and other federal funding agencies to increase the visibility of URM researchers in population research. Co-sponsoring symposia is a highly effective and cost efficient way to interact with other entities at UMD to elevate the role of MPRC in promoting population research at UMD.
