DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Population Research Center (PRC) at the University of Texas at Austin requests an 8th round of NICHD support for its population infrastructure program. Continued support will help the PRC maintain its tradition of outstanding scholarship, mentoring junior scientists, and developing innovative collaborative and interdisciplinary research. The PRC provides the intellectual and infrastructural resources necessary for the highest level of population research. Those infrastructural resources held in common include state-of-the-art administrative, computing, and program development resources which support both individual and collaborative research agendas. Hailing from 14 departments across the university, 63 researchers are supported by active collaborators and mentors, topical working groups and a brownbag series to encourage intellectual exchange and idea development, and dedicated space to encourage formal and informal communication and to conduct research. PRC researchers are especially renowned for their research in five over-lapping and reinforcing thematic areas: Health Disparities; Religion and Demographic Processes; Children, Youth and Families: Education and the Transition to Adulthood; and Latin American and Border Demography. As we describe in this application, the PRC's Development, Administration, and Computing and Information cores play fundamental roles in developing and sustaining outstanding research in these and other areas. The Development Core is an especially vital component which sponsors interdisciplinary working groups, the highly successful proposal boot camp focused on junior researchers, and seed grants to launch innovative collaborative projects. The administration and computing cores are also critical components in facilitating research innovation. In the short term, these cores support the production of grant applications; the timely development, sharing, and dissemination of project and public use data files; the development of secure data enclaves and electronic file sharing; and project analysis and development of scientific publications. Over the long term, these cores provide the necessary institutional base to: build a strong scientific community among population scientists at UT; recruit, retain, and develop a cadre of outstanding population scientists; and develop research programs that take full advantage of the facilities and sophisticated technologies necessary for large-scale studies in the population sciences. The PRC now has its largest grant portfolio with over $27 million dollars in total federal grant support, of which $23.5 million is from NIH. Continued R24 support will enable the PRC to continue its strong upward trajectory as an outstanding center in which innovative population research is developed, supported and sustained.

描述（由申请人提供）：人口研究中心（PRC）在得克萨斯大学奥斯汀分校请求第八轮NICHD支持其人口基础设施计划。持续的支持将有助于中国保持其优秀的学术传统，指导年轻的科学家，并发展创新的合作和跨学科研究。中国为最高水平的人口研究提供了必要的智力和基础设施资源。这些共同拥有的基础设施资源包括最先进的管理，计算和项目开发资源，这些资源支持个人和合作研究议程。来自整个大学14个部门的海陵，63名研究人员得到了积极的合作者和导师，专题工作组和布朗袋系列的支持，以鼓励知识交流和思想发展，并专门的空间，以鼓励正式和非正式的沟通，并进行研究。中国的研究人员在五个相互重叠和相互加强的主题领域的研究尤其着名：健康差异;宗教和人口过程;儿童，青年和家庭：教育和向成年人的过渡;拉丁美洲和边境人口。正如我们在本申请中所描述的，PRC的开发、管理、计算和信息核心在开发和维持这些和其他领域的优秀研究方面发挥着基础性作用。发展核心是一个特别重要的组成部分，它赞助跨学科工作组，非常成功的建议靴子阵营集中在初级研究人员，和种子赠款，以启动创新的合作项目。管理和计算核心也是促进研究创新的关键组成部分。在短期内，这些核心支持赠款申请的制作;项目和公共用途数据文件的及时开发、共享和传播;安全数据飞地和电子文件共享的开发;以及项目分析和科学出版物的开发。从长远来看，这些核心提供了必要的机构基础：在UT人口科学家中建立一个强大的科学社区;招募，保留和发展一支优秀的人口科学家队伍;并开发充分利用人口科学大规模研究所需的设施和先进技术的研究计划。中华人民共和国目前拥有最大的赠款组合，联邦赠款支持总额超过2700万美元，其中2350万美元来自美国国立卫生研究院。R24的持续支持将使中国继续其强劲的上升轨迹，成为一个发展、支持和维持创新人口研究的杰出中心。
