Carolina Population Center

描述（由申请人提供）：北卡罗来纳大学教堂山分校的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资助。方案协调委员会成立于1966年，目的是为选出的教员研究员的人口研究和培训需要服务。中国共产党目前有51名教职员工，来自校园内的15个系和5个学院。七个标志性主题共同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、人口和卫生转型；人口与环境；健康行为与传染病；人口统计学和老龄化经济学。中国共产党的力量来自其教师的个人和集体力量。1999年以来，中共党员、学员和工作人员共发表论文、著书、编著、专著1271篇。这是一种非凡的生产率。截至2004年7月，CPC的投资组合包括53个资助研究项目和5个增刊，涵盖从本地到全球的主题。在过去的五年里，融资的趋势一直相当有利。CPC的研究是非比寻常的合作和跨学科，大多数资助项目涉及不止一名研究者，其中大多数涉及来自不同院系或学校的研究者。目前的申请寻求支持，使方案协调会能够继续对其优势作出反应，并在其优势的基础上发展和协同增效。为此目的，请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、生物医学和项目发展。研究服务核心的目标是高效和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员工的卓越表现，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.
