描述(由申请人提供)：北卡罗来纳大学教堂山分校卡罗莱纳人口中心根据NICHD R24人口研究基础设施计划申请为期五年的拨款。CPC成立于1966年，旨在满足民选教员团体的人口研究和培训需求。CPC目前有51名教员，来自校园内的15个系和5所学校。七个标志性主题集中描述了教师的人口研究兴趣：家庭、生育和儿童；人口多样性和不平等；人口和健康行为的社会和空间背景；经济、人口和健康转型；人口与环境；健康行为和传染病；以及人口统计学和老龄化经济学。CPC的力量来自于其教职员工的个人和集体力量。1999年以来，中共院士、学员和工作人员共发表文章、书章、编卷、专著1271篇。这是一个非同寻常的生产率。截至2004年7月，CPC的项目组合包括53个受资助的研究项目和5个副刊，涵盖从地方到全球的主题。在过去的五年里，资金的趋势一直相当有利。以CPC为基础的研究具有不同寻常的协作性和跨学科性质，绝大多数资助的项目涉及一名以上的研究人员，大多数项目涉及来自不同部门或学校的研究人员。本申请寻求支持，以使方案协调会能够继续回应、加强和协同其优势。为此，请求支助七个研究服务核心：行政、计算机、信息服务、空间分析、统计、生物医学和项目开发。研究服务的目标-核心i-S高效、有效地支持和促进重要和创新的人口研究。这些服务，以及提供这些服务的工作人员的卓越，是教员研究员取得成就的基础。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Carolina Population Center at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill requests a five-year grant under the NICHD R24 Population Research Infrastructure Program. CPC was established in 1966 to serve the population research and training needs of an elected body of faculty fellows. CPC draws its current body of 51 faculty fellows from 15 departments and five schools across campus. Seven signature themes collectively describe the population research interests of the faculty: family, fertility, and children; population diversity and inequality; social and spatial contexts of demographic and health behavior; economic, demographic, and health transitions; population and environment; health behavior and infectious disease; and demography and economics of aging. The strength of CPC derives from the individual and collective strengths of its faculty. Since 1999, CPC fellows, trainees, and staff published 1271 articles, book chapters, edited volumes, and monographs. This is an exceptional rate of productivity. As of July 2004, CPC's portfolio consisted of 53 funded research projects and 5 supplements, covering topics from the local to global. Trends in funding have been quite favorable over the past five years. Research based at CPC is unusually collaborative and interdisciplinary, with the large majority of funded projects involving more than one investigator and the majority of those involving investigators from different departments or schools. The present application seeks support to allow CPC to continue responding to, building on, and synergizing its strengths. To this end, support is requested for seven research service cores: administrative, computer, information services, spatial analysis, statistical, biomedical, and project development. The goal of the research service-cores i-s to efficiently and effectively support and facilitate important and innovative population research. These services, and the excellence of the staff who provide them, are fundamental to the achievements of the faculty fellows.
