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 在下一阶段支持加州大学伯克利分校的人口研究。这 伯克利人口中心 (BPC) 利用 R21 发展基础设施资金创建了一个 包括初中生在内的教师对校园内正在进行的大量人口研究的认识 历史上一直被学术部门孤立的教师。这种认识（和支持）导致 研究和资助申请活动。基础稳固后，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 部门以及公共卫生学院、研究生院进行的人口研究 公共政策系、经济系等院系。与多项研究的协同联系 校园中心进一步促进校园人口研究，特别是经济中心 和老龄人口学 (CEDA)、社会问题研究所 (ISSI)、罗伯特·伍德·约翰逊 (Robert Wood Johnson) 学者计划和其他中心。 BPC 吸引了 60 多名教职员工并与之建立了联系 校园内的其他研究人员，以及加州大学旧金山分校、加州大学戴维斯分校等邻近机构的研究人员 和斯坦福大学。结果，人口研究的主题领域从独特的 加州大学伯克利分校校园的优势：生殖和艾滋病毒、死亡率、健康问题、不平等和 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。为了促进我们的人口研究使命，我们提出 3 研究基础设施核心。研究支持核心由两个子核心组成： (1) 行政 (2) 数据和计算。研究开发是第三个核心。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来为 BPC 附属机构提供支持， 协助赠款申请准备和管理，提供数据硬件和软件 分析，并为具有外部融资潜力的项目提供试点赠款。
