DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Demographic analysis can provide valuable insights into the sources and consequences of many social, economic and health phenomena, and contribute to the design of more effective public policy interventions. The proposed program will provide demographic training for predoctoral students at the University of Washington's Center for Studies in Demography and Ecology. The core departments participating in the program are Sociology, Economics, Anthropology and Geography. The training faculty has 53 members, including faculty from Public Health, International Studies, Social Work, Public Affairs, and other units. Distinctive specialty areas involving multidisciplinary research and training include international economic development and demographic change, population and environment, family demography, inequality and stratification, health, and quantitative methods. The application seeks a renewal of annual support for 4 predoctoral trainees. Trainees will be recruited primarily from new applicants and continuing students in the four core disciplines. Selection will be based on academic promise, commitment to studying demography and, for continuing students, program performance. Strong training in demography will be achieved through a combination of formal coursework within and outside of each student's home discipline in substantive demographic issues, advanced demographic and related social science research methods; a research apprenticeship, a research seminar, and a pro-seminar that includes training in responsible conduct of research. The training faculty has 63 funded research grants that provide a rich research and training environment, and is engaged in a variety of other multidisciplinary initiatives that enhance the intellectual environment at UW. The Center is located in Raitt Hall in the central campus, very close to the core departments. An administrative and professional staff of 14 provides a broad range of services to affiliates and trainees, including computing and programming support, statistical consulting, grant application development and submission, research support and translational activities. The Center has a computer lab, seminar room, library, and office space for staff and graduate students. A fully equipped laboratory supports population- based molecular-level biodemographic research.

人口分析可以为许多社会，经济和健康现象的来源和后果提供有价值的见解，并有助于设计更有效的公共政策干预措施。拟议中的项目将为华盛顿大学人口与生态学研究中心的博士前学生提供人口学培训。参与该计划的核心部门是社会学，经济学，人类学和地理学。培训教师有53名成员，包括来自公共卫生，国际研究，社会工作，公共事务和其他单位的教师。涉及多学科研究和培训的独特专业领域包括国际经济发展和人口变化，人口与环境，家庭人口学，不平等和分层，健康和定量方法。该申请旨在为4名博士前学员提供年度支持。学员将主要从四个核心学科的新申请者和继续就读的学生中招募。选择将基于学术承诺，致力于研究人口统计学，对于继续学习的学生，计划的表现。在人口统计学强有力的培训将通过在实质性的人口问题，先进的人口和相关的社会科学研究方法，每个学生的家庭纪律内部和外部的正式课程的组合来实现;研究学徒，研究研讨会，并亲研讨会，包括在负责任的研究行为的培训。培训学院有63个资助的研究赠款，提供了丰富的研究和培训环境，并参与了各种其他多学科的举措，提高在华盛顿大学的智力环境。该中心位于中心校区的Raitt Hall，非常靠近核心部门。14名行政和专业工作人员向附属机构和受训人员提供广泛的服务，包括计算和编程支助、统计咨询、赠款申请编制和提交、研究支助和翻译活动。该中心有一个计算机实验室，研讨室，图书馆和工作人员和研究生的办公空间。一个设备齐全的实验室支持基于人口的分子水平的生物人口学研究。
