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）：本申请要求在洛杉矶的加州大学（UCLA）的加州人口研究中心（CCPR）进行为期五年的人口研究博士前培训。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教师集中在社区卫生科学，经济学和社会学。最近在这些部门和校园其他地方雇用了人口统计学家，增加了公民权利和政治权利委员会附属机构的数量，吸引了更多对人口学感兴趣的学生。因此，每年需要为8个博士前培训名额提供资金，比2001年的培训补助金增加4个，并在2006年延长。我们寻求更新和扩大的培训计划在加州大学洛杉矶分校的CCPR协调人口学培训中发挥着核心作用。它建立在强大的社会学，经济学和公共卫生研究生课程的基础上;一个杰出的多学科培训教师，拥有多样化的研究组合，而不是跨越经济，社会和健康人口学;以及加州大学洛杉矶分校人口研究的丰富资源。我们寻求培养下一代人口学家，对当代相关主题进行理论上知情，方法上复杂的研究。我们已经建立了三个核心部门，社会学，经济学和社区健康科学（CHS）的每一个创新的课程，并将人口学的跨学科培训整合到他们的计划中。对于更新，我们保留了成功计划的所有现有功能，增加了实习生研讨会，并重组了计划领导层。要保留的主要功能包括一个培训研讨会，由特邀演讲者，导师和跨学科的课程介绍。我们增加了一个实习生proseminar在当前和过去的实习生将目前正在进行的工作，阅读和讨论最近的论文，并与邀请教师客人见面。我们对项目领导层进行了重组，将当前培训委员会的管理和监督职责划分为两个部分：一个是经常开会管理培训项目的小型培训委员会，另一个是提供监督的大型咨询委员会。该计划在培养独立调查人员方面已经取得了显着的成功，这些调查人员现在正在社会，经济和公共卫生人口学方面进行尖端研究。自2001年以来，在16名完成博士学位的受训人员中，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。
