DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application requests five years of support for the Center for Demography and Ecology, University of Wisconsin-Madison. CDE is a world-class research center in population research with affiliates in 10 departments and 4 colleges. It has held an NICHD P30 Population Center Grant since 1972; this application requests continuation of that support under NICHD's Population Research Infrastructure Program (R24). Support is requested for four research support cores - Administration, Computing, Information Services and Methodology -- and for Developmental Infrastructure. The Population Center Grant would support an extraordinary collection of scholars with high rates of productivity. During the past five years, CDE has aggressively recruited top young scientists, strengthened ties and developed new forms of cooperation with departments, research centers and institutes having complementary missions. Our research portfolio has become more diverse, is more international in character, and covers a greater share of the life course than in the past. CDE researchers work on a broad spectrum of topics, but four clusters constitute our signature themes: Health and Mortality; Fertility, Families and Households; the Demography of Inequality; and Data and Methodology. In addition to outstanding research in each of these areas, CDE researchers produce enormous amounts of high-quality data for use by the population research community. The Center's impact is demonstrated further by the success of its junior scientists - graduate students, postdoctoral fellows and assistant professors - and by the scientific leadership provided by CDE researchers to the field of population and their respective disciplines. Investment in CDE would leverage substantial commitments from the University, a large portfolio of individual research grants and outstanding human and organizational resources to promote innovative research on population issues.

描述(由申请人提供)：本申请请求为威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校人口统计和生态中心提供五年的支持。CDE是一个世界级的人口研究中心，在10个系和4个学院设有分支机构。它自1972年以来一直持有NICHD P30人口中心赠款；这项申请要求根据NICHD的人口研究基础设施计划(R24)继续提供这种支持。请求为四个研究支助核心--行政、计算、信息服务和方法学--和发展基础设施提供支助。人口中心拨款将支持一批生产率很高的学者。在过去的五年中，CDE积极招募顶尖青年科学家，加强与具有互补使命的部门、研究中心和研究所的联系，并开发新的合作形式。与过去相比，我们的研究组合变得更加多样化，更加国际化，涵盖了更多的生命历程。CDE的研究人员从事广泛的主题研究，但有四个类别构成了我们的标志性主题：健康和死亡率；生育率、家庭和家庭；不平等的人口统计学；以及数据和方法。除了这些领域的杰出研究外，CDE研究人员还产生了大量高质量的数据，供人口研究界使用。中心初级科学家--研究生、博士后研究员和助理教授--的成功，以及CDE研究人员为人口领域及其各自学科提供的科学领导，进一步证明了该中心的影响。对CDE的投资将利用大学的大量承诺、大量的个人研究补助金以及杰出的人力和组织资源，以促进关于人口问题的创新研究。
