This proposal request a five-year renewal of the Penn State NICHD Interdisciplinary Training in Demography T-32 grant. We request support for six predoetoral and two postdoctoral positions. Based on our dual-Ph.D, training paradigm that was recently recognized by NIH as a model program structure, the proposed renewal will support interdisciplinary predoetoral degrees with nationally-ranked departments in Anthropology (biological) and Demography, Human Development & Family Studies (developmental psychology) and Demography, and Sociology and Demography. The targeted postdoctoral program focuses on the integration of social demographic and human development science research and scholarship for a new generation of population scientist. Supported by the Penn State Population Research Institute infrastructure, the training program is based on the expertise of 39 Demography Program faculty (29 with appointments in the above three degree programs) who together have a portfolio of 36 current and 19 pending population research and training grants. This grant environment provides rich opportunities for pre- and post-doctoral student research apprenticeships. Twelve new population faculty scholars have been added over the past five years, thereby significantly expanding the training programs intellectual depth and breadth. Five faculty mentors and 33 percent of current NICHD trainees are members of underrepresented groups. In recent years the program has a strong record of placing Ph.D. and postdoctoral trainees in academic positions at population center and other major universities, and in highly visible federal, international, and research agency positions. The predoctoral training program is composed of six key pedagogical components involving formal demography course work and informal seminars/workshops, primarily focused around PRIs signature population science research themes -- family demography and life course development processes, demography of child well-being, health inequality and biodemography, and community context and spatial population analysis. The interdisciplinary post-doctoral training program, bridging social demography with developmental science of family processes emphasizes: 1) enhanced methodological skills and interdisciplinary substantive knowledge acquisition, 2) advanced apprenticeship experiences on funded research projects, and 3) professional development (papers, publications, proposal preparation) achievements. Facilitated by a low faculty-student ratio, a research apprenticeship program is a key feature of both pre- and post-doctoral programs. Predoctoral trainees will be recruited from the approximately 425 annual applicants to and students currently enrolled in the three participating dual-degree programs.

该提案要求将宾夕法尼亚州立大学NICHD人口学跨学科培训T-32赠款延长五年。我们请求支持六个博士前和两个博士后职位。基于我们的双博士，最近被NIH认可为模型程序结构的培训范式，拟议的更新将支持跨学科的predoetoral学位与人类学（生物学）和人口学，人类发展和家庭研究（发展心理学）和人口学，社会学和人口学的国家排名部门。有针对性的博士后计划的重点是社会人口和人类发展科学研究和奖学金的新一代人口科学家的整合。在宾夕法尼亚州立大学人口研究所基础设施的支持下，培训计划基于39名人口学计划教师的专业知识（29名在上述三个学位课程中获得任命），他们共同拥有以下组合： 36项现有和19项待批的人口研究和培训赠款。这种赠款环境为博士前和博士后学生研究学徒提供了丰富的机会。在过去五年中增加了12名新的人口系学者，从而大大扩大了培训方案的知识深度和广度。五名教师导师和 目前NICHD受训人员的33%是代表性不足的群体的成员。近年来，该计划有一个强大的记录放置博士学位。在人口中心和其他主要大学的学术职位，以及在高度引人注目的联邦，国际和研究机构的职位博士后学员。博士前培训计划由六个关键的教学组成部分组成，涉及正式的人口学课程工作和非正式的研讨会/讲习班，主要集中在PRI签名人口科学研究主题-家庭人口学和生命历程发展过程，儿童福祉人口学，健康不平等和生物人口学，以及社区背景和空间人口分析。跨学科博士后培训计划，弥合社会人口与家庭过程的发展科学强调：1）增强方法技能和跨学科的实质性知识获取，2）资助的研究项目的高级学徒经验，和3）专业发展（论文，出版物，提案准备）成就。通过低师生比例促进，研究学徒计划是前和博士后课程的一个关键特征。博士预科生将从每年约425名申请者和目前就读于三个参与双学位课程的学生中招募。
