DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This proposal is a request for National Research Service Award (NRSA) support for four predoctoral trainees in population at the Johns Hopkins University. Three departments will administer the award: Population and Family Health Science in the School of Public Health and Sociology and Economics in the School of Arts and Sciences. In the period covered by the previous grant, eleven trainees have been able to acquire a firm orientation in their chosen disciplines from their home department, while also being rigorously trained in the broad methodological and substantive areas of population studies. This training is accomplished through course work, participation in faculty research, participation in interdisciplinary population research seminars, and-perhaps of equal importance-intensive interaction with fellow trainees in population from many countries that exposes them to many different perspectives on population problems and prospects. The interaction among students from PFHS, Sociology, and Economics is an additional benefit of the training program. Students from the latter departments are drawn more closely into the population field-and, particularly, into making the connection between population and health. Required courses for the traineeship include: Principles of Population Change; a sequence of three demographic methods courses, Health and Development across the Life Course, a research ethics course, and the population research seminar, all a part of the current training program. In addition, a biology course selected by each student according to her/his research area is required. Each trainee must meet other departmental course requirements for the doctorate as well. Participating faculty have a broad portfolio of extramural research grants that can be roughly organized into four substantive areas: 1) sexual and reproductive health; 2) adolescent health and the transition to adulthood; 3) poverty and inequality; 4) aging and mortality. Over the past five years, trainees have been integrated into and made contributions to this research enterprise, as evidenced by the large number of joint publications between training faculty and trainees and other students. The continuation of this funding will allow another group of potential leaders in the field of population to work with the faculty and begin to build their careers in population. The director is Professor Stan Becker working with a training committee composed of Andrew Cherlin, Robert Moffitt, Nan Astone and Amy Tsui. The committee will assist with selection of trainees each year and give overall guidance for the program.

描述（由申请人提供）：本提案是为约翰霍普金斯大学四名博士前人口研究生申请国家研究服务奖（NRSA）支持的请求。三个部门将管理该奖项：公共卫生学院的人口和家庭健康科学以及艺术和科学学院的社会学和经济学。在上一笔赠款所涉期间，11名受训人员得以在其所在部门获得选定学科的明确方向，同时还在人口研究的广泛方法和实质性领域接受严格培训。这种培训是通过课程作业、参加教员研究、参加跨学科人口研究讨论会以及-也许同样重要的是-与来自许多国家的人口问题受训人员进行密集的互动来完成的，使他们接触到关于人口问题和前景的许多不同观点。来自PFHS，社会学和经济学的学生之间的互动是培训计划的另一个好处。来自后几个系的学生更接近人口领域，特别是人口与健康之间的联系。培训所需的课程包括：人口变化的原则;三个人口统计方法课程的序列，健康和发展整个生命过程，研究伦理课程，以及人口研究研讨会，所有这些都是当前培训计划的一部分。此外，每个学生根据她/他的研究领域选择的生物课程是必需的。每个学员必须满足其他部门的课程要求的博士学位。参与的教师有广泛的校外研究赠款组合，可以大致分为四个实质性领域：1）性和生殖健康; 2）青少年健康和向成年过渡; 3）贫困和不平等; 4）老龄化和死亡率。在过去五年中，培训教员与学员和其他学生联合出版了大量出版物，证明学员已融入这一研究事业并为之作出贡献。继续提供这笔资金将使人口领域的另一批潜在领导人能够与教员合作，并开始在人口领域建立自己的职业生涯。主任是斯坦·贝克尔教授，他与一个由安德鲁·切尔林、罗伯特·莫菲特、南·阿斯通和艾米·崔组成的培训委员会合作。委员会每年将协助挑选受训人员，并为该计划提供全面指导。
