This proposal requests the next stage in NICHD support for population research at UC Berkeley. The Berkeley Population Center (BPC) capitalized on R21 developmental infrastructure funding to create an awareness of the plentiful population research being conducted on campus among faculty, including junior faculty, who have been historically isolated by academic department. This awareness (and support) led to research and grant application activity. With a foundation firmly set, BPC now seeks to leverage the core strengths of the UC Berkeley campus, beginning with the teaching and research in the Demography Department, as well as population research conducted in the School of Public Health, Graduate School of Public Policy, Dept. of Economics, and other schools and departments. Synergistic ties with several research centers on campus further promote population research on campus, notably with the Center of Economics and Demography of Aging (CEDA), Institute for the Study of Social Issues (ISSI), the Robert Wood Johnson Scholars Program, and other centers. BPC has attracted and connected with over 60 faculty members and other researchers on campus, as well as researchers in neighboring institutions such as UCSF, UC Davis and Stanford University. As a result, the thematic areas in population research emerged from the unique strengths ofthe UC Berkeley campus: Reproduction and HIV, Mortality, Health Dispahties, Inequalities and Opportunities, Behavioral Economics, and Formal Demography. BPC research questions and methods utilized are cross-cutting and innovative. To foster our mission of population research, we propose 3 Research Infrastructure Cores. The Research Support Core consists of two subcores: (1) Administrative and (2) Data and Computing. Research Development is the third core. Implicit in all cores is public outreach. These cores will provide support for BPC affiliates by assisting with the identification of relevant grants, assistance with grant application preparation and administration, providing hardware and software for data analysis, and awarding pilot grants for projects with solid potential for external funding.

该提案要求NICHD下一阶段支持加州大学伯克利分校的人口研究。的 伯克利人口中心（BPC）利用R21发展基础设施资金， 意识到在校园里进行的大量人口研究，包括大三学生， 教师，谁一直是历史上孤立的学术部门。这种认识（和支持）导致了 研究和赠款申请活动。有了坚实的基础，BPC现在寻求利用核心 加州大学伯克利分校校园的优势，从人口学的教学和研究开始 系，以及在公共卫生学院，研究生院进行的人口研究 公共政策，Dept.经济学，以及其他学校和部门。与多项研究的协同关系 校园中心进一步促进校园人口研究，特别是与经济中心 社会问题研究所（ISSI），罗伯特·伍德约翰逊 学者计划和其他中心。BPC已经吸引了60多名教职员工， 校园里的其他研究人员，以及邻近机构的研究人员，如UCSF，UC Davis 和斯坦福大学。因此，人口研究的专题领域是从独特的 加州大学伯克利分校的优势：生殖和艾滋病毒，死亡率，健康不平等， 机会、行为经济学和正式人口统计学。BPC研究问题和方法 所利用的是跨领域和创新的。为了促进我们人口研究的使命，我们建议3 研究基础设施核心。研究支助核心包括两个次级核心：（1）行政支助 （2）数据与计算。研发是第三个核心。所有核心都隐含着公共宣传。 这些核心将通过协助确定相关赠款， 协助赠款申请准备和管理，提供数据的硬件和软件 分析，并为具有坚实的外部资金潜力的项目提供试点赠款。
