DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Minnesota Population Center (MPC) is a University-wide interdisciplinary cooperative for demographic research at the University of Minnesota. The center has three main goals: to foster connections among population researchers across disciplines, to develop large-scale collaborative research projects, and to provide infrastructure for demographic research. MPC serves 98 faculty members and research scientists from 10 colleges and 21 departments at the University of Minnesota. As a leading developer and disseminator of demographic data, MPC also serves a broader audience of over 60,000 demographic researchers worldwide. During the past five years, the University has recruited 21 new faculty members in 11 departments who are engaged in population-related research, giving MPC an energetic and productive new generation of scholars. This has stimulated an exciting array of interdisciplinary population research initiatives, leading to a proliferation of research activity around diverse but interrelated themes. MPC clusters of research excellence fall into eight thematic areas: large-scale demographic data infrastructure; work, family, and time; historical demography; education, labor, and the life course; healthcare access and health disparities; census and survey methodology; unions and sexuality; and population and environment. MPC's signature activity is the development and support of large-scale population data infrastructure. MPC processes and disseminates more publicly-accessible demographic microdata than any other organization; during the past decade, the Center released thirteen times as much population microdata as the U.S. Census Bureau and the Center disseminate the nation's most comprehensive collection of aggregate U.S. Census data and electronic census boundary files. MPC data infrastructure is shifting the landscape of population research by opening new opportunities for dynamic, comparative, and multilevel analyses. Measured by number and size of research grants, number and quality of publications and impact on population research infrastructure, MPC has become one of the largest and most influential population research centers in the nation. These successes could not have occurred without R24 funding. MPC now seeks continued funding to build on this momentum. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: This work is directly relevant to the central mission of the NIH as the steward of medical and behavioral research for the nation. MPC research is advancing fundamental knowledge about the nature and behavior of human health and population dynamics. This basic infrastructure is essential for answering the core questions surrounding family change, population health, and migration that have been identified as the central research agenda for NICHD's Demographic and Behavioral Sciences Branch.

描述(由申请人提供)：明尼苏达人口中心(MPC)是明尼苏达大学跨学科的人口研究合作机构。该中心有三个主要目标：促进人口研究人员之间跨学科的联系，开发大型合作研究项目，以及为人口研究提供基础设施。MPC为来自明尼苏达大学10个学院和21个系的98名教职员工和研究科学家提供服务。作为人口统计数据的领先开发者和传播者，MPC还为世界各地超过6万名人口统计研究人员的更广泛受众提供服务。在过去的五年中，该大学在11个系新招聘了21名从事人口相关研究的教职员工，使MPC拥有了一批精力充沛、多产的新一代学者。这刺激了一系列令人兴奋的跨学科人口研究倡议，导致围绕不同但相互关联的主题的研究活动激增。MPC优秀研究分组分为八个主题领域：大规模人口数据基础设施；工作、家庭和时间；历史人口学；教育、劳动力和生命历程；医疗保健获取和健康差距；人口普查和调查方法；结合和性；以及人口和环境。MPC的标志性活动是开发和支持大规模人口数据基础设施。MPC处理和传播比任何其他组织都更公开的人口微观数据；在过去十年中，该中心发布的人口微观数据是美国人口普查局和该中心发布全国最全面的美国人口普查数据和电子人口普查边界文件集合的13倍。MPC数据基础设施正在改变人口研究的格局，为动态、比较和多层次的分析提供了新的机会。从研究拨款的数量和规模、出版物的数量和质量以及对人口研究基础设施的影响来看，MPC已成为美国最大和最有影响力的人口研究中心之一。如果没有R24的资金，这些成功是不可能发生的。货币政策委员会现在寻求继续提供资金，以巩固这一势头。 公共卫生相关性：这项工作直接关系到美国国立卫生研究院作为国家医学和行为研究管理者的中心使命。MPC研究正在推进关于人类健康和人口动态的性质和行为的基础知识。这一基本基础设施对于回答围绕家庭变化、人口健康和移徙的核心问题至关重要，这些问题已被确定为NICHD人口和行为科学处的中心研究议程。
