DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application requests NICHD development support for population research at the University of California, Berkeley. The campus' long history of excellence in demographic teaching and research was recently enhanced by the creation of the campus-wide Berkeley Population Center (BPC). The Center is designed to serve as an institutional and intellectual home to the community of population researchers on the Berkeley campus. BPC research affiliates come from a wide range of social science and health science departments, with particular strengths in the thematic areas of population health, labor, family and immigration. BPC researchers are further drawn together by their commitment to developing population theory and innovative methods, as well as collecting and disseminating primary data for use by researchers both within and beyond the Berkeley campus. The Center's goal and stated purpose is to bring together Berkeley population researchers who have been historically isolated by academic department, facilitate interdisciplinary collaborations, spur innovative new projects and support junior faculty and others new to the population field. BPC functions are being organized around cores: an administrative core, computer core and research development core. These will provide support for BPC affiliates by assisting with grant applications and administration, providing hardware and software for data analysis, and awarding pilot grants for interdisciplinary projects. The developmental grant support from NICHD will augment current university support for the BPC, and play a crucial role in helping Berkeley's population research community to further flourish in a vibrant center of intellectual exchange. Project Relevance: The Berkeley Population Center strives to facilitate interdisciplinary collaboration and innovation in population research, while providing essential and cost-effective resources in support of the development, conduct, and dissemination of our work. Our center is designed to: 1) enhance the quality and quantity of population research conducted at Berkeley; and 2) develop new research capabilities to advance population research through innovative approaches. Our signature research themes of population health, labor demography, family demography, and immigration each address concerns with population processes, size, and composition. The health of individuals and populations is influenced by social and economic context. As such, the study of population health is best advanced by incorporating the theory, methods and findings from other areas of population research. By bringing together faculty and students from a wide range of academic backgrounds, each with a different perspective on population dynamics, the Berkeley Population Center will help to further understanding of the causes and consequences of population health.

描述（由申请人提供）：本申请要求NICHD为加州大学伯克利分校的人口研究提供开发支持。校园在人口学教学和研究方面的悠久历史最近被校园范围内的伯克利人口中心（BPC）的创建所加强。该中心的目的是作为一个机构和知识家庭的人口研究人员在伯克利分校的社区。BPC的研究分支机构来自广泛的社会科学和健康科学部门，在人口健康，劳动，家庭和移民等主题领域具有特别优势。BPC的研究人员通过他们对发展人口理论和创新方法的承诺进一步聚集在一起，以及收集和传播主要数据供伯克利校园内外的研究人员使用。该中心的目标和既定目的是汇集伯克利人口研究人员谁一直被学术部门历史上孤立，促进跨学科合作，刺激创新的新项目，并支持初级教师和其他新的人口领域。规划和协调局的职能是围绕核心组织的：行政核心、计算机核心和研究发展核心。这将通过协助赠款申请和管理，提供数据分析的硬件和软件，以及为跨学科项目提供试点赠款，为BPC附属机构提供支持。来自NICHD的发展赠款支持将增加目前大学对BPC的支持，并在帮助伯克利的人口研究社区在充满活力的智力交流中心进一步蓬勃发展方面发挥至关重要的作用。 项目相关性：伯克利人口中心致力于促进人口研究的跨学科合作和创新，同时提供必要的和具有成本效益的资源，以支持我们工作的发展，开展和传播。我们的中心旨在：1）提高在伯克利进行的人口研究的质量和数量; 2）开发新的研究能力，通过创新方法推进人口研究。我们的人口健康，劳动人口统计学，家庭人口统计学和移民的签名研究主题每个地址与人口过程，规模和组成的关注。个人和人口的健康受到社会和经济背景的影响。因此，人口健康研究的最佳进展是结合人口研究其他领域的理论、方法和成果。通过汇集来自广泛学术背景的教师和学生，每个人都对人口动态有不同的看法，伯克利人口中心将有助于进一步了解人口健康的原因和后果。基础设施组件的描述见PHS 398研究计划的“研究设计和方法”部分
