DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Duke Center on the Demography of Aging, Duke University, through its Duke Population Research Institute and its Social Science Research Institute, proposes to establish a Center on the Demography of Aging having at its core twelve senior faculty members and their research groups. These groups have strong ties with Europe, the former Soviet Union, China, Indonesia, Mexico and elsewhere: the Duke Center will have a strong international emphasis. The Duke Center will promote a highly synergistic and interdisciplinary environment to foster important research breakthroughs particularly in the areas of biological and biomedical demography of aging (aka the biodemography of aging) and in the development and application of innovative mathematical and statistical demographic tools and methods to data. The Center will help establish two new faculty positions at Duke, one an assistant professor having a focus on biodemography and the other an assistant professor with expertise in mathematical and statistical demography. With an emphasis on biodemography and mathematical and statistical demography, the Center will also support, twice-yearly, highly innovative and collaborative scientific network meetings of researchers (both from Duke and from around the world) as well as an advanced educational program for young researchers (graduate students and post-doctoral researchers), a large pilot project research program, a lively research seminar program, and the development of an extensive statistical data library and enclave. The Duke Center on the Demography of Aging will be an engine for innovation and international collaboration. It will foster innovative networks, pilot project research, and education for new researchers, new professorships, and the establishment of a Duke demographic data service with deep expertise in data analysis methodology.

描述（由申请人提供）：杜克大学老龄化人口研究中心，通过其人口研究所和社会科学研究所，提议建立一个老龄化人口研究中心，其核心是12名高级教师及其研究小组。这些组织与欧洲、前苏联、中国、印度尼西亚、墨西哥和其他地方有着密切的联系：杜克中心将重点关注国际。杜克中心将促进一个高度协同和跨学科的环境，以促进重要的研究突破，特别是在生物和生物医学人口老龄化（又名生物人口老龄化）领域，以及创新的数学和统计人口统计学工具和数据方法的开发和应用。该中心将帮助杜克大学建立两个新的教职岗位，一个是专注于生物人口统计学的助理教授，另一个是专注于数学和统计人口统计学的助理教授。以生物人口统计学和数理统计人口统计学为重点，中心还将支持每年两次的研究人员（杜克大学和世界各地的研究人员）高度创新和协作的科学网络会议，以及针对年轻研究人员（研究生和博士后研究人员）的高级教育计划，大型试点项目研究计划，活跃的研究研讨会计划。并开发了一个广泛的统计数据库和飞地。杜克大学老龄化人口研究中心将成为创新和国际合作的引擎。它将促进创新网络、试点项目研究和新研究人员、新教授的教育，并建立具有数据分析方法深厚专业知识的杜克大学人口统计数据服务。
