DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application requests a five-year renewal of the predoctoral training program in population studies at the California Center for Population Research (CCPR) at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). CCPR is the primary center for research and training in demography and population at UCLA. CCPR faculty are concentrated in Community Health Sciences, Economics, and Sociology. Recent hiring of demographers in these departments and elsewhere on campus has increased the number of CCPR affiliates and attracted increased numbers of students interested in demography. Accordingly, funding is requested for 8 predoctoral traineeships per year, an increase of 4 over our training grant award in 2001 and the renewal in 2006. The training program that we seek to renew and expand plays a central role in CCPR-coordinated demography training at UCLA. It builds on strong graduate programs in sociology, economics and public health; a distinguished multi-disciplinary training faculty with a diverse portfolio of research than spans economic, social, and health demography; and abundant resources for population research at UCLA. We seek to train the next generation of demographers to carry out theoretically informed, methodologically sophisticated research on topics of contemporary relevance. We have built an innovative curriculum in each of the three core departments, Sociology, Economics and Community Health Sciences (CHS) and integrated interdisciplinary training in demography into their programs. For the renewal, we retain all the existing features of the successful program, added a trainee proseminar, and reorganized the program leadership. Key features to be retained include a training seminar with presentations by invited speakers, mentorship, and cross-disciplinary coursework. We add a trainee proseminar at which current and past trainees will present ongoing work to each other, read and discuss recent papers, and meet with invited faculty guests. We have reorganized program leadership to divide the management and oversight responsibilities of the current Training Committee between a small Training Committee that will meet frequently to manage the training program, and a larger Advisory Committee that will provide oversight. The program already has a remarkable record of success at producing independent investigators who now carry out cutting-edge research in social, economic, and public health demography. Of 16 trainees since 2001 who have completed their PhD, 8 are now assistant professors at major universities, 5 are postdoctoral researchers at major universities, and 1 is a Robert Wood Johnson (RWJ) Foundation Health and Society Scholar.

描述（由申请人提供）：本申请要求将加州大学洛杉矶分校 (UCLA) 加州人口研究中心 (CCPR) 的人口研究博士前培训计划续签五年。 CCPR 是加州大学洛杉矶分校人口学和人口研究和培训的主要中心。 CCPR 教员主要集中于社区健康科学、经济学和社会学。最近这些院系和校园其他地方聘用的人口统计学家增加了 CCPR 附属机构的数量，并吸引了越来越多对人口统计学感兴趣的学生。因此，每年需要为 8 个博士前培训提供资金，比 2001 年的培训补助金增加了 4 个，并于 2006 年更新。我们寻求更新和扩展的培训计划在加州大学洛杉矶分校 CCPR 协调的人口统计培训中发挥着核心作用。它建立在社会学、经济学和公共卫生领域强大的研究生课程之上；杰出的多学科培训师资队伍，其研究范围涵盖经济、社会和健康人口学；加州大学洛杉矶分校人口研究资源丰富。我们寻求培训下一代人口统计学家，对当代相关主题进行理​​论丰富、方法论复杂的研究。我们在社会学、经济学和社区健康科学 (CHS) 三个核心系中分别建立了创新课程，并将人口学跨学科培训纳入其课程中。对于更新，我们保留了成功项目的所有现有功能，增加了实习生研讨会，并重组了项目领导层。保留的主要功能包括培训研讨会、受邀演讲者的演讲、指导和跨学科课程。我们增加了一个实习生研讨会，现任和过去的实习生将在会上互相介绍正在进行的工作，阅读和讨论最近的论文，并会见受邀的教员嘉宾。我们重组了项目领导层，将当前培训委员会的管理和监督职责划分为一个小型培训委员会和一个较大的咨询委员会，其中一个小型培训委员会将经常开会管理培训项目，另一个大型咨询委员会将提供监督。该项目在培养独立调查人员方面已经取得了显著成功，这些调查人员现在在社会、经济和公共卫生人口学领域开展前沿研究。 2001年以来完成博士学位的16名学员中，8人现在是主要大学的助理教授，5人是主要大学的博士后研究人员，1人是罗伯特伍德约翰逊（RWJ）基金会健康与社会学者。
