DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application is for core support for the Penn Population Studies Center (PSC), which has fostered research and training in population since 1962. The PSC is characterized by remarkable continuity in its production of high-quality research even as the composition of its own population of Research Associates has changed and their research interests have evolved. The current PSC Research Associates are younger, more diverse, more interdisciplinary and more productive in terms of publications in major journals and receipt of major grants than those at our last competitive P30 renewal in 1998. Since 1998 the PSC has ranked first or second among all population centers in terms of publications in major general population, economics and sociology journals and NIH research awards, indicators that are very promising for future research productivity. The PSC's current research activities are concentrated on seven signature themes that relate to two aspects of population composition (endowments, human resources) and five crosscutting approaches to the demographic triad (fertility, mortality, migration) and population composition (methods/data, temporal processes, contexts, policy evaluation, international). The proposed support for the PSC Administrative, Computing, Information Technology, and Information Dissemination (CITID), Developmental and Public Infrastructure reflects forward-looking re-evaluations of how best to use R24 and leveraged resources to provide basic, but in some respects innovative, support for the pursuit of the basic PSC central scientific objectives.

描述（由申请人提供）：该申请是宾夕法尼亚大学人口研究中心（PSC）的核心支持，该中心自1962年以来一直促进人口研究和培训。PSC的特点是，即使其研究人员的组成发生了变化，他们的研究兴趣也发生了变化，但其高质量研究的产出仍具有显著的连续性。目前的PSC研究人员更年轻，更多样化，更跨学科，在主要期刊上发表的文章和获得的主要资助方面，比1998年我们上一次竞争激烈的P30更新的研究人员更富有成效。自1998年以来，PSC在主要的普通人口、经济学和社会学期刊上发表的论文以及NIH的研究奖项，在所有人口中心中排名第一或第二，这些指标对未来的研究生产力非常有希望。人口政策委员会目前的研究活动集中于涉及人口构成（捐赠、人力资源）两个方面的七个标志性主题和涉及人口三要素（生育率、死亡率、移徙）和人口构成（方法/数据、时间过程、背景、政策评价、国际）的五个横切方法。对PSC行政、计算、信息技术和信息传播（CITID）、发展和公共基础设施的拟议支持反映了对如何最好地利用R24和杠杆资源提供基本（但在某些方面是创新的）支持以追求基本PSC核心科学目标的前瞻性重新评估。
