DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Population Studies and Training Center of Brown University requests continuing support for its T32 National Research Service Award. The long-term goal of the PSTC Demography Training Program is to train doctoral and postdoctoral social scientists to become internationally-renowned population scientists. More concretely, our objectives are to promote interdisciplinary publication, grant-seeking and primary research among trainees during the training period and after. We request support for six doctoral trainees and two postdoctoral trainees. In this application, we provide evidence of a strong interdisciplinary training program, supported by productive, committed faculty, focused on training students and postdoctoral fellows from Anthropology, Economics, Political Science, and Sociology. We argue that the PSTC T32 training program shows ample evidence of continued intellectual and organizational evolution, dynamic synergy across disciplines and career stage, from new trainee through senior scholar, and a commitment to excellence that will produce and strengthen the next generation of investigators and teachers. We demonstrate excellent recruitment, retention and placement outcomes in the previous grant period, and focus on maintaining this excellence while improving professionalization and paths to future independence as scholars in the new application. The PSTC training program proposed here builds on a dynamic research infrastructure, with recently reconfigured thematic foci reflecting dramatic growth in Center and training program faculty. Current thematic areas include: Development, Institutions and Demographic Change; Consequences of Migration in Sending and Receiving Areas; Population Structures in the Urban Environment; Environmental Resources and Population Well-being; and Persistent Disparities in Health and Human Capital. Predoctoral and postdoctoral trainees are integrated into all themes, and supported through dedicated coursework, training modules, intensive mentoring and integrative activities. We show evidence of major institutional support in the form physical space, significant investments in graduate education generally, and targeted funds to support trainees. An active Training Committee supervises the design of the program, coordinating with our affiliated departments, and PD VanWey with PSTC Assistant Director Mecartea provides extensive support for the day-to-day operation of the program. We describe both continuing and innovative organizational and pedagogical efforts to secure the training goals we outline in this application.

描述（由申请人提供）：布朗大学人口研究和培训中心请求继续支持其 T32 国家研究服务奖。 PSTC人口学培训项目的长期目标是培养博士和博士后社会科学家成为国际知名的人口科学家。更具体地说，我们的目标是在培训期间和培训结束后促进受训人员的跨学科出版、资助和初步研究。我们请求为六名博士生和两名博士后实习生提供支持。在此申请中，我们提供了强大的跨学科培训计划的证据，该计划得到了富有成效、忠诚的教师的支持，重点培训来自人类学、经济学、政治学和社会学的学生和博士后研究员。我们认为，PSTC T32 培训计划充分证明了知识和组织的持续发展、从新学员到资深学者的跨学科和职业阶段的动态协同作用，以及对卓越的承诺，这将培养和加强下一代研究人员和教师。我们在上一个资助期间展示了出色的招聘、保留和安置成果，并致力于保持这种卓越性，同时提高专业化和未来在新申请中作为学者独立的道路。这里提出的 PSTC 培训计划建立在动态研究基础设施的基础上，最近重新配置的主题重点反映了中心和培训计划教员的急剧增长。当前的主题领域包括：发展、机构和人口变化；迁徙对输出地和接收地的影响；城市环境中的人口结构；环境资源和人口福祉；以及健康和人力资本方面持续存在的差异。博士前和博士后学员融入所有主题，并通过专门的课程、培训模块、强化指导和综合活动提供支持。我们展示了物理空间形式的主要机构支持、对研究生教育的重大投资以及支持学员的有针对性的资金的证据。一个活跃的培训委员会负责监督该计划的设计，并与我们的附属部门协调，PD VanWey 和 PSTC 助理主任 Mecartea 为该计划的日常运作提供广泛的支持。我们描述了持续和创新的组织和教学努力，以确保我们在本申请中概述的培训目标。
