DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Population Research Center (PRC) of the University of Texas at Austin (UT) requests a five-year grant under the NICHD R24 Population Research Infrastructure Program to help provide infrastructure support services and project development funds for a very productive interdisciplinary group of 46 population-related researchers. Most researchers work in one or two of five thematic areas: Health Disparities; Religion, Family Life, and Health; Children and Families; Education, Transitions to Adulthood, and the Labor Force; and Latin American Demography and Social policy. Underlying this work is a foundation that emphasizes fundamental attention to issues of social and economic inequality, rigorous attention to, and application of, the most appropriate and advanced methodological techniques, and an orientation toward federal and major foundation grant funding and publication in top quality scientific journals. The infrastructure program proposed here includes three cores: I) an Administrative Services Core to facilitate the initiation and completion of population-based research and to promote the interdisciplinary growth and collaborative nature of PRC research; 2) a Computing and Information Services Core to provide the highest quality computing and information services and infrastructure to researchers and other cores of the PRC, at the lowest possible cost to the center and to projects, and with the highestpossible efficiency and security; and 3) a Developmental Core to provide PRC faculty members with seed financial support to develop nascent research ideas, attract new researchers to the PRC, and increase the overall grant and publication activity of the center. In comparison to the last competitive renewal of the P30 center grant five years ago, the PRC is a substantially younger, intellectually broader, and much more productive research unit. We have also benefited from a tremendous set of 17 faculty hires made over the last five years. Along every criterion that matters in this arena-grants, publications, interdisciplinary activity, institutional support, and promise for the future-the PRC is stronger than ever. Support through the R24 mechanism will enable the PRC to continue in its re-development of exciting new areas of exciting new areas of research activity, as well as provide for the continuance of traditional areas of PRC research strength.

描述(由申请人提供)：德克萨斯大学奥斯汀分校(UT)人口研究中心(PRC)根据NICHD R24人口研究基础设施计划申请为期五年的拨款，以帮助为一个由46名人口相关研究人员组成的非常富有成效的跨学科小组提供基础设施支持服务和项目开发资金。大多数研究人员在五个主题领域中的一个或两个领域开展工作：健康差距；宗教、家庭生活和健康；儿童和家庭；教育、成人过渡和劳动力；以及拉丁美洲人口和社会政策。这项工作的基础是强调对社会和经济不平等问题的基本关注，对最适当和最先进的方法技术的严格关注和应用，以及面向联邦和主要基金会拨款并在顶级科学期刊上发表。 这里建议的基础设施计划包括三个核心：i)行政服务核心，以促进以人口为基础的研究的发起和完成，并促进中国研究的跨学科增长和协作性质；2)计算和信息服务核心，以向研究人员和中国其他核心提供最高质量的计算和信息服务和基础设施，以尽可能低的成本提供给中心和项目，并具有最高的效率和安全性；以及3)发展核心，为中国教职员工提供种子资金支持，以发展新的研究想法，吸引新的研究人员来中国，并增加中心的整体拨款和出版活动。 与五年前上一次P30中心拨款的竞争性续签相比，中国是一个非常年轻、智力更广泛、生产力更高的研究单位。我们还受益于过去五年招聘的17名教职员工。按照这一领域的每一个重要标准--拨款、出版物、跨学科活动、机构支持和对未来的承诺--中国比以往任何时候都更强大。通过R24机制的支持将使中国能够继续重新开发令人兴奋的新领域的令人兴奋的新研究活动领域，以及继续保持中国的传统研究优势领域。
