DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This project will make American Community Survey (ACS) based curricular materials available to undergraduates in a broad array of undergraduate courses in order to expose them to demographic approaches as applied to different subject areas, as well as to pathways toward careers in population related fields. The ACS, as a successor to the US Census long form, provides the potential for undergraduates to explore a wide range of topics using demographic perspectives, in a way that will that will familiarize them with frameworks, concepts and analysis techniques commonly utilized by demographers, thus exposing them to the field of demography in courses whose content they do not necessarily associate with population studies. The project will accomplish this by creating data and curricular materials that are accessible to undergraduates, by working directly with undergraduate teachers in workshops and follow up webinars, and by producing general use web instructional materials. A faculty network for facilitating dissemination will be created. In addition, by working with graduate training population programs and the faculty teacher network, the project's website and staff will provide information to interested undergraduates about graduate training and careers in the population field and work actively to connect them with those opportunities.

描述（由申请人提供）：该项目将使美国社区调查（ACS）为基础的课程材料提供给本科生在广泛的本科课程，以使他们接触到人口的方法，适用于不同的学科领域，以及对人口相关领域的职业生涯的途径。ACS作为美国人口普查长表的继承者，为本科生提供了使用人口统计学观点探索广泛主题的可能性，以使他们熟悉人口学家常用的框架，概念和分析技术，从而使他们在课程中接触人口学领域，其内容不一定与人口研究相关。该项目将通过创建可供本科生访问的数据和课程材料，直接与本科教师在研讨会和后续网络研讨会上合作，以及制作通用网络教学材料来实现这一目标。将建立一个促进传播的教员网络。此外，通过与研究生培训人口方案和教师网络合作，该项目的网站和工作人员将向感兴趣的本科生提供关于人口领域研究生培训和职业的信息，并积极努力使他们获得这些机会。
