DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Center for Studies in Demography and Ecology (CSDE) at the University of Washington requests a five-year continuation of its pre-doctoral training program in demography from NICHD, beginning May 1, 2012. The proposed training program is carried out in conjunction with five disciplines in the College of Arts and Sciences - Anthropology, Economics, Geography, Sociology and Statistics, as well as PhD programs in the Daniel J. Evans School of Public Affairs and the School of Social Work. CSDE requests support for five pre-doctoral trainees per year, with total direct costs of $210,298 the first year and $1,051,492 for the period May 1, 2012 to April 30, 2017. This request includes continuing renewal funds for four trainees and a request to fund one more trainee for a total of five trainees. The request for an additional trainee reflects our growing capacity and documented latent demand for demographic training across the UW campus. Predoctoral trainees are selected from applicants who are new or continuing graduate students in PhD programs with a population-related specialization. Annual admission rates to these departments is selective - ~29 percent across the departments. Among the trainees selected for funding from our collaborating programs, average GRE scores are 100 or more points higher and average GPAs are higher than for peers in their respective program. CSDE funded trainees also graduate faster than non-funded student peers by an average of one to four years depending on home department.

描述（由申请人提供）： 华盛顿大学人口学和生态学研究中心 (CSDE) 请求 NICHD 从 2012 年 5 月 1 日起继续开展为期五年的人口学博士前培训计划。拟议的培训计划与艺术与科学学院的五个学科（人类学、经济学、地理学、社会学和统计学）以及 丹尼尔·埃文斯公共事务学院和社会工作学院。 CSDE 请求每年为五名博士前培训生提供支持，第一年的直接费用总额为 210,298 美元，2012 年 5 月 1 日至 2017 年 4 月 30 日期间的直接费用为 1,051,492 美元。该请求包括为四名培训生提供持续更新资金，并请求为总共五名培训生再资助一名培训生。增加一名实习生的请求反映了我们不断增长的能力以及整个威斯康星大学校园对人口统计培训的潜在需求。博士前培训生是从人口相关专业博士课​​程的新学生或继续研究生申请人中挑选的。这些院系的年录取率是有选择性的——各院系的录取率约为 29%。在从我们的合作项目中选出的受训者中，平均 GRE 分数比各自项目中的同龄人高出 100 分或更多，平均 GPA 也更高。 CSDE 资助的学员毕业时间也比非资助学生平均快一到四年，具体取决于所在院系。
