俄亥俄州立大学根据NICHD R24人口研究基础设施申请为期5年的拨款 使人口研究倡议[IPR]能够继续非常成功地支持 人口研究。自2004年7月获得R21奖以来，知识产权在 教职员工的数量、他们的学科多样性以及他们的研究效率，使知识产权成为一个遥远的问题 比5年前更强大的研究中心。知识产权的增长被重要的大学加速了 在人口研究方面的投资总计近500万美元，用于聘用教师，翻新知识产权新空间， 和种子赠款支持。根据R24奖项，知识产权研究人员将在7个月内开展研究计划 专题领域：1)联盟的形成和解体；2)生育；3)青春期过渡；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。在每一个中 在这些领域中，知识产权研究人员富有成效和创新性，他们的工作得到了大量 来自NICHD、其他NIH研究所、NSF、基金会、俄亥俄州和其他机构的研究奖项组合 资金来源。许多研究项目是知识产权之间的跨学科合作 研究人员分布在俄亥俄州立大学的6所学院和14个系，这一结果是知识产权组织故意 通过种子基金、工作小组和研讨会的计划来培育。建议的R24基础设施 该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--4)发展核心。每个内核都经过精心设计，以提供 知识产权研究人员推进人口计划所需的基本支持和服务 而他们的国内部门无法提供这方面的研究。此基础架构的主要功能是 精益管理核心、健壮开发核心和两个融合了高度进步的技术核心 具有战略性教学活动的技术服务。行为和健康之间的新兴协作 科学家在R21奖下是一个显著的发展，在R21奖下的活动计划 R24旨在加强俄亥俄州立大学这种跨学科的人口研究模式。

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.
