Population Research Center

此应用程序是为宾夕法尼亚人口研究中心(PSC)提供的核心支持，该中心已促进 自1962年以来在人口方面的研究和培训。PSC的特点是具有显著的连续性 生产出高质量的研究成果，甚至构成自己的研究人群 同事们发生了变化，他们的研究兴趣也发生了变化。现任PSC研究助理 在专业领域的出版物方面更年轻、更多样化、更跨学科、更有成效 期刊和收到的主要补助金超过了我们在1998年的最后一次竞争P30续展。自1998年以来 就主要出版物而言，PSC在所有人口中心中排名第一或第二 人口、经济和社会学期刊和NIH研究奖，这些指标非常 对未来的研究生产力很有希望。PSC目前的研究活动集中在 与人口构成的两个方面有关的七个标志性主题(天赋、人类 资源)和人口三重问题(生育率、死亡率、移徙)的五个贯穿各领域的方法和 人口构成(方法/数据、时间进程、背景、政策评价、国际)。 拟议支助方案支助司行政、计算机、信息技术和 信息传播(CITID)、发展和公共基础设施反映前瞻性 重新评估如何最好地利用R24和杠杆资源，以提供基本的、但在某些方面 创新，支持追求PSC的基本中心科学目标。

This application is for core support for the Penn Population Studies Center (PSC), which has fostered research and training in population since 1962. The PSC is characterized by remarkable continuity in its production of high-quality research even as the composition of its own population of Research Associates has changed and their research interests have evolved. The current PSC Research Associates are younger, more diverse, more interdisciplinary and more productive in terms of publications in major journals and receipt of major grants than those at our last competitive P30 renewal in 1998. Since 1998 the PSC has ranked first or second among all population centers in terms of publications in major general population, economics and sociology journals and NIH research awards, indicators that are very promising for future research productivity. The PSC's current research activities are concentrated on seven signature themes that relate to two aspects of population composition (endowments, human resources) and five cross-cutting approaches to the demographic triad (fertility, mortality, migration) and population composition (methods/data, temporal processes, contexts, policy evaluation, international). The proposed support for the PSC Administrative, Computing, Information Technology, and Information Dissemination (CITID), Developmental and Public Infrastructure reflects forward-looking re-evaluations of how best to use R24 and leveraged resources to provide basic, but in some respects innovative, support for the pursuit of the basic PSC central scientific objectives.
