DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application requests support for a training program in the economics, social demography, and biodemography of aging at the California Center for Population Research at the University of California - Los Angeles (UCLA). Funding is requested for 6 predoctoral trainees. The program will support trainees seeking to undertake interdisciplinary training across departments and to learn the tools and approaches of different disciplines. Although we expect the trainees to be drawn largely from Economics, Sociology, and Community Health Sciences, the program will be open to trainees from other fields as well. By supporting an infrastructure of seminars, workshops, an interdisciplinary team-taught course, and a common base of technical and substantive knowledge, the program will have a broader impact by helping to support a larger community of students and scholars interested in aging research issues. The specific training required of predoctoral students will include a team-taught interdisciplinary course on the economics, social demography, and biodemography of aging, with faculty drawn from Community Health Services, Economics, Geriatrics, and Sociology. The training will also consist of participation in an aging seminar, with both national and local speakers. Among the local speakers, faculty from the School of Medicine will discuss some of the latest developments in medical research. Finally, the training will also include a population training seminar, demographic training, a class on geriatrics or medicine, a research apprenticeship, participation in department colloquia and workshops, and attendance at least one professional meeting per year.

描述（由申请人提供）：本申请要求支持加州大学洛杉矶分校（UCLA）加州人口研究中心的经济学、社会人口学和老龄化生物人口学培训项目。申请资助6名博士预科学员。该计划将支持学员寻求跨部门进行跨学科培训，并学习不同学科的工具和方法。虽然我们希望学员主要来自经济学、社会学和社区健康科学，但该计划也将向其他领域的学员开放。通过支持研讨会、讲习班、跨学科团队授课课程的基础设施，以及技术和实质性知识的共同基础，该计划将通过帮助支持对老龄化研究问题感兴趣的更大的学生和学者社区，产生更广泛的影响。博士预科学生需要接受的具体培训将包括一门由团队授课的跨学科课程，内容涉及经济学、社会人口学和老龄化生物人口学，教师来自社区卫生服务、经济学、老年病学和社会学。培训还包括参加由国家和地方发言人参加的老龄问题研讨会。在当地的演讲者中，来自医学院的教师将讨论医学研究的一些最新进展。最后，培训还将包括人口培训讨论会、人口统计学培训、老年病学或医学培训班、研究见习、参加部门讨论会和讲习班以及每年至少参加一次专业会议。
