DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Center for Studies in Demography and Ecology (CSDE) at the University of Washington requests a five-year continuation of its pre-doctoral training program in demography from NICHD, beginning May 1, 2012. The proposed training program is carried out in conjunction with five disciplines in the College of Arts and Sciences - Anthropology, Economics, Geography, Sociology and Statistics, as well as PhD programs in the Daniel J. Evans School of Public Affairs and the School of Social Work. CSDE requests support for five pre-doctoral trainees per year, with total direct costs of $210,298 the first year and $1,051,492 for the period May 1, 2012 to April 30, 2017. This request includes continuing renewal funds for four trainees and a request to fund one more trainee for a total of five trainees. The request for an additional trainee reflects our growing capacity and documented latent demand for demographic training across the UW campus. Predoctoral trainees are selected from applicants who are new or continuing graduate students in PhD programs with a population-related specialization. Annual admission rates to these departments is selective - ~29 percent across the departments. Among the trainees selected for funding from our collaborating programs, average GRE scores are 100 or more points higher and average GPAs are higher than for peers in their respective program. CSDE funded trainees also graduate faster than non-funded student peers by an average of one to four years depending on home department.

描述(由申请者提供)：华盛顿大学人口学与生态学研究中心(CSDE)要求NICHD从2012年5月1日开始继续其人口学博士前培训计划，为期五年。拟议的培训方案与文理学院的五个学科--人类学、经济学、地理学、社会学和统计学--以及丹尼尔·J·埃文斯公共事务学院和社会工作学院的博士课程一起实施。CSDE请求每年支持5名博士前实习生，第一年的直接费用总额为210,298美元，2012年5月1日至2017年4月30日期间的直接费用为1,051,492美元。这项请求包括为四名受训人员继续提供续期资金，以及为总共五名受训人员再提供一名受训人员的经费的请求。对额外实习生的要求反映了我们不断增长的能力和记录在案的对整个威斯康星州大学校园人口统计培训的潜在需求。博士前实习生是从申请人中挑选出来的，他们是人口相关专业博士项目的新生或继续研究生。这些部门的年度录取率是有选择性的--各部门的录取率约为29%。在从我们的合作项目中选择资助的学员中，GRE平均成绩比他们各自项目中的同行高100分或更多，平均GPA也更高。CSDE资助的学员的毕业时间也比非资助的同龄人平均快一到四年，具体取决于所在部门。
