北卡罗来纳大学教堂山分校的卡罗莱纳人口中心（CPC）寻求根据NICHD R24人口研究基础设施方案延长五年赠款。中国共产党成立于1966年，目前由来自15个系和5所学校的58名当选教员组成。八个签名主题共同描述了教师的人口研究兴趣：性行为，避孕药具的使用和生殖健康;生育，家庭和儿童;生命历程的观点;生物和社会相互作用;人口运动，多样性和不平等;地方，空间和健康;人口与环境;和人口与健康政策和计划。参与中心的活动是广泛的：目前，18个不同的教师研究员除了主任正在采取在CPC行政活动的作用;在过去的五年中，40名研究员已担任导师（顾问），以CPC前和博士后学员; 45名研究员已PI或共同研究员对人口相关的赠款或合同。 一个优秀的研究基础设施是必不可少的教师研究员，他们的资金记录和研究影响的创造力和生产力。截至2009年秋季，保护竞争委员会的投资组合包括65个资助的研究项目和5个补充项目。自2004年以来，中国共产党的研究员，学员和工作人员出版了近1200人口相关的文章，章节，编辑卷，和专著。他们的研究涉及人口领域，也接触到更广泛的公共卫生界，政策制定者和公众。CPC教职员工也通过在该中心的主要纵向数据收集，如青少年健康的国家纵向研究，为该领域的研究基础设施做出了根本性的贡献。这些创新研究通过保护竞争委员会率先建立的机制分享数据，扩大了影响。基于CPC的研究是高度协作和跨学科的。以现有的合作网络为平台，该中心提供服务和支持，促进创新人口研究发展中的方法，工具和观点的相互促进。

The Carolina Population Center (CPC) at UNC-Chapel Hill seeks renewal of a five-year grant under the NICHD R24 Population Research Infrastructure Program. Established in 1966, CPC draws its current body of 58 elected faculty fellows from 15 departments and five schools. Eight signature themes collectively describe the population research interests of the faculty: Sexual Behavior, Contraceptive Use, and Reproductive Health; Fertility, Families, and Children; Life Course Perspectives; Biological and Social Interactions; Population Movement, Diversity, and Inequality; Place, Space, and Health; Population and Environment; and Population and Health Policies and Programs. Participation in Center activities is broad: currently, 18 different faculty fellows in addition to the Director are taking a role in CPC administrative activities; over the past five years, 40 fellows have served as preceptors (advisors) to CPC pre- and postdoctoral trainees; 45 fellows have been PI or co- investigator on a population-relevant grant or contract. An outstanding research infrastructure is essential to the creativity and productivity of the faculty fellows, their funding record, and research impact. As of fall 2009, CPC's portfolio consisted of 65 funded research projects and 5 supplements. Since 2004, CPC fellows, trainees, and staff published almost 1200 population-relevant articles, chapters, edited volumes, and monographs. Their research addresses the population field and also reaches out to the broader public health community, policy-makers, and the public. CPC faculty fellows also make fundamental contributions to the research infrastructure of the field through major longitudinal data collections based at the Center, such as the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health. These innovative studies expand their impact by sharing data through mechanisms that CPC pioneered. Research based at CPC is highly collaborative and interdisciplinary. With the existing web of collaboration as a platform, the Center provides services and support that foster the cross-fertilization of methods, tools, and perspectives in the development of innovative population research.
