DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Ohio State University requests a 5-year grant under the NICHD R24 Population Research Infrastructure Program to enable the Initiative in Population Research [IPR] to continue its highly successful support of population research. Since receiving an R21 award in July 2004, the IPR has grown substantially in the number of faculty affiliates, their disciplinary diversity, and their research productivity, making IPR a far stronger research center than 5 years ago. The growth of IPR has been accelerated by significant university investment in population research totaling nearly $5 million in faculty hires, renovation of new space for IPR, and seed grant support. Under the R24 award, IPR researchers will conduct a program of research in 7 thematic areas: 1) Union formation and dissolution; 2) Fertility; 3) Adolescent transitions; 4) Child health and development; 5) Adult health disparities; 6) Immigration/migration; and 7) Residential segregation. In each of these areas, IPR researchers are productive and innovative, and their work is supported by a substantial portfolio of research awards from NICHD, other NIH institutes, NSF, foundations, the state of Ohio, and other sources of funding. Many of the research projects are interdisciplinary collaborations among IPR researchers spread among 6 colleges and 14 departments at OSU, an outcome that IPR has deliberately fostered through a program of seed grants, working groups, and seminars. The proposed R24 infrastructure program will consist of three research support cores -1) Administration, 2) Statistics and Survey Methods, and 3) Geographic Analysis - and a 4) Developmental Core. Each core is carefully designed to provide the essential support and services that IPR researchers require to advance their programs of population research and that cannot be provided by their home departments. Key features of this infrastructure are a lean Administrative Core, a robust Development Core, and 2 technical cores that blend highly progressive technical services with strategic didactic activities. Emerging collaborations between behavioral and health scientists has been a notable development under the R21 award, and the program of activities under the R24 is designed to reinforce this trans-disciplinary mode of population research at Ohio State.

描述(由申请人提供)：俄亥俄州立大学根据NICHD R24人口研究基础设施计划申请为期5年的拨款，以使人口研究倡议[IPR]继续为人口研究提供非常成功的支持。自2004年7月获得R21奖以来，IPR在教职员工数量、学科多样性和研究生产率方面取得了显著增长，使IPR成为一个比5年前强大得多的研究中心。大学在人口研究方面的重大投资总计近500万美元，用于聘用教员、翻新知识产权新空间和种子赠款支持，从而加速了知识产权的增长。根据R24奖项，知识产权研究人员将在7个主题领域进行研究：1)联盟的形成和解散；2)生育；3)青少年过渡；4)儿童健康和发展；5)成人健康差距；6)移民/移民；以及7)居住隔离。在这些领域中的每一个领域，知识产权研究人员都富有成效和创新性，他们的工作得到了NICHD、其他NIH研究所、NSF、基金会、俄亥俄州和其他资金来源的大量研究奖项的支持。许多研究项目是分布在俄亥俄州立大学6所学院和14个系的知识产权研究人员之间的跨学科合作，这是知识产权通过种子拨款、工作组和研讨会计划刻意培育的结果。拟议的R24基础设施计划将包括三个研究支持核心-1)管理，2)统计和调查方法，3)地理分析-和4)开发核心。每个核心都经过精心设计，以提供知识产权研究人员推进其人口研究计划所需的基本支持和服务，而这些支持和服务是其本国部门无法提供的。这一基础设施的主要特点是精益管理核心、稳健发展核心和两个技术核心，将高度进步的技术服务与战略性教学活动相结合。行为和健康科学家之间新出现的合作是R21奖下的一个显著发展，R24下的活动计划旨在加强俄亥俄州立大学人口研究的这种跨学科模式。
