DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The proposed research project investigates new family forms and their implications for adults, children and the population-level reproduction of family change. It rests fundamentally on three premises: 1) standard definitions and categories are no longer adequate to represent the reality of family life; 2) static comparisons overlook transitions both within and across family types key to understanding new family forms; 3) ignoring the context in which individuals form and transform families misses a crucial piece of what is needed to make sense of family change. This project pays close attention to heterogeneity within categories commonly applied in family research, looking, for example, at distinctions between never-married and divorced mothers, cohabiting and married two-parent families, and high and low conflict two-parent families. It addresses the dynamic nature of families, tracing change over time both within and across family types. In addition, it situates individuals within families, neighborhoods, and other social contexts that affect their attitudes and behaviors. It relies on new data from three complementary sources: the National Survey of Family Growth (NSFG), the National Survey of Families and Household (NSFH), and the Los Angeles Family and Neighborhood Survey (L.A.FANS). The development plan outlined in this application is specifically designed to accomplish the following five objectives: 1) acquire skills in interactions-based models; 2) gain expertise in survey research methods; 3) expand the scope of current research to include perspectives from public health, economics, and law; 4) present new work at scholarly conferences and publish in leading journals; and 5) prepare a grant application to support an independent research program. Training components include mentorship, participation in the California Center for Population Research (CCPR) at the University of California-Los Angeles (UCLA), an apprenticeship in survey methods with the L.A.FANS, and additional coursework. This research and training application builds on past work, expanding its scope and bringing new tools to bear on questions at the intersection of family, policy, and social inequality.

描述（由申请人提供）：拟议的研究项目调查新的家庭形式及其对成人、儿童和家庭变化的人口层面再生产的影响。它主要基于三个前提：1）标准定义和类别不再足以代表家庭生活的现实； 2）静态比较忽略了家庭类型内部和之间的转变，这对于理解新的家庭形式至关重要； 3）忽视个人形成和转变家庭的背景，就错过了理解家庭变革所需的一个关键部分。该项目密切关注家庭研究中常用类别的异质性，例如，关注未婚母亲和离婚母亲、同居和已婚双亲家庭以及高冲突和低冲突双亲家庭之间的区别。它解决了家庭的动态性质，追踪家庭类型内部和家庭类型之间随时间的变化。此外，它将个人置于家庭、社区和其他影响其态度和行为的社会环境中。它依赖于来自三个互补来源的新数据：全国家庭成长调查 (NSFG)、全国家庭和住户调查 (NSFH) 以及洛杉矶家庭和邻里调查 (L.A.FANS)。本申请中概述的开发计划专门设计用于实现以下五个目标：1）获得基于交互的模型的技能； 2）获得调查研究方法方面的专业知识； 3）扩大当前研究范围，纳入公共卫生、经济和法律的视角； 4）在学术会议上展示新作品并在领先期刊上发表； 5) 准备资助申请以支持独立研究项目。培训内容包括指导、参与加州大学洛杉矶分校 (UCLA) 的加州人口研究中心 (CCPR)、L.A.FANS 调查方法学徒以及其他课程。这项研究和培训应用程序建立在过去的工作基础上，扩大了其范围，并带来了新的工具来解决家庭、政策和社会不平等等交叉问题。
