DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application requests a renewal of support for the Hopkins Population Center (HPC) under the Research Infrastructure for Demographic and Behavioral Population Science Program as specified in RFA-HD-13- 007. The HPC is an interdisciplinary research center spanning four schools on two campuses of the Johns Hopkins University. It emphasizes innovative, interdisciplinary population research and support for new investigators. It has three signature themes: Its Poverty and Inequality theme supports research on the health and well-being of children from low- and moderate-income families. Its Sexual and Reproductive Health theme includes studies of the social context of sexually-transmitted infections and diseases and of contraceptive usage and demand. Its Family Demography and the Transition to Adulthood theme studies demographic trends in American family life and the determinants of the life-transitions that adolescents and young adults make as they start family lives and have children. The HPC is unique among population centers in that the great majority of its faculty associates are based at the Hopkins medical institutions: Public Health, Medicine, and Nursing. It nevertheless has strength in the School of Arts and Sciences, including the current HPC Director, Andrew Cherlin, a former president of the Population Association of America and the current chair of the Social Sciences and Population A Study Section at NIH. The HPC provides seed grants to promising projects that could lead to NIH grant applications; it supports junior faculty for developing and writing proposals; and it supports working groups that are developing innovative research projects. The HPC requests support for four cores. An Administrative Core will be responsible for the finances of the Center and will supervise activities, sponsor symposia, and perform other such tasks. A Computing Core will provide faculty associates with computing resources and information technology to fit their research needs. An Information Services Core will provide electronic information and bibliographic services. And a Developmental Infrastructure Core will encourage and develop research projects and proposals through pilot project grants, workshops, and other activities.

描述（由申请人提供）：本申请要求根据RFA-HD-13- 007中规定的人口统计学和行为人口科学计划研究基础设施更新对霍普金斯人口中心（HPC）的支持。HPC是一个跨学科的研究中心，跨越约翰霍普金斯大学两个校区的四个学校。它强调创新性、跨学科的人口研究和对新调查人员的支持。它有三个标志性主题：其贫困和不平等主题支持对低收入和中等收入家庭儿童的健康和福祉的研究。其性健康和生殖健康主题包括研究性传播感染和疾病的社会背景以及避孕药具的使用和需求。它的家庭人口统计学和向成年人的过渡主题研究美国家庭生活的人口趋势，以及青少年和年轻人在开始家庭生活和生孩子时所做的生活转变的决定因素。HPC在人口中心中是独一无二的，因为它的绝大多数教职员工都在霍普金斯的医疗机构：公共卫生，医学和护理。尽管如此，它在艺术和科学学院有实力，包括现任HPC主任Andrew Cherlin，美国人口协会前主席，现任NIH社会科学和人口研究科主席。HPC为可能导致NIH拨款申请的有前途的项目提供种子赠款;它支持初级教师开发和编写提案;并支持正在开发创新研究项目的工作组。HPC请求支持四核。一个行政核心将负责中心的财务，并将监督活动，赞助研讨会，并执行其他此类任务。计算核心将为教职员工提供计算资源和信息技术，以满足他们的研究需求。信息服务中心将提供电子信息和书目服务。发展基础设施核心将通过试点项目赠款、讲习班和其他活动鼓励和发展研究项目和提案。
