DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This proposal seeks funds for a series of five summer workshops that will train a diverse group of early-career scholars on the use of the Fragile Families and Child Wellbeing Study (FFS), a population-based, longitudinal, NIH-funded birth cohort survey developed to further understanding of the social and behavioral factors affecting the development of urban children. The rise in non-marital childbearing over the past forty years has motivated a growing literature on the capabilities of, and challenges facing, unmarried parents with children, often referred to as "fragile families." Biomedical and population scientists have identified the social environment as integral to the effective delivery f health and social services, and raised a multitude of questions about the extent to which parental and environmental factors affect child wellbeing, the extent to which they may moderate children's genetic predispositions toward health or behavioral challenges, and the mechanisms that govern any causal effects. Concerns about fragile families and their children have taken on added salience in light of the Great Recession, which began in 2007 and has significantly altered the economic conditions in which families live. The FFS has played an important role in addressing these questions; however, much remains to be learned, and the ongoing collection of FFS data stands to further advance the research literature. As such, the proposed workshops will each focus on a thematic area relevant to the above mentioned concerns and will discuss different aspects of the FFS data not covered in prior training workshops, including: macroeconomic data in respondent cities, genetic data, and data on the neighborhood environment. The proposed series of workshops will train a new generation of researchers from a variety of disciplines in the social and biomedical sciences on the capabilities of the FFS data and will result in the dissemination of the Fragile Families data, an improved understanding of the issues facing fragile families, and opportunities for mentorship and collaboration for a new generation of social, behavioral and biomedical scientists.

描述(由申请者提供)：该提案寻求资金用于一系列五个暑期研讨会，这些研讨会将培训不同的职业早期学者使用脆弱家庭和儿童福祉研究(FFS)，这是一项以人口为基础的、由NIH资助的纵向出生队列调查，旨在进一步了解影响城市儿童发展的社会和行为因素。在过去的40年里，非婚生育的增加推动了越来越多关于有孩子的未婚父母的能力和面临的挑战的文献，这些未婚父母通常被称为“脆弱家庭”。生物医学和人口科学家认为，社会环境是有效提供健康和社会服务不可或缺的一部分，并提出了一系列问题，包括父母和环境因素对儿童福祉的影响程度，它们可能在多大程度上调节儿童对健康或行为挑战的遗传倾向，以及控制任何因果影响的机制。鉴于2007年开始的大衰退，对脆弱家庭及其子女的担忧变得更加突出，这场衰退极大地改变了家庭所处的经济状况。论坛在解决这些问题方面发挥了重要作用；然而，仍有许多需要学习，目前正在收集的论坛数据将进一步推动研究文献的发展。因此，拟议的每个讲习班都将侧重于与上述关切有关的一个专题领域，并将讨论以前的培训讲习班没有涉及的粮食安全框架数据的不同方面，包括：被答复城市的宏观经济数据、遗传数据和关于邻里环境的数据。拟议的一系列讲习班将培训社会和生物医学领域各学科的新一代研究人员，了解FFS数据的能力，并将导致传播脆弱家庭数据，更好地了解脆弱家庭面临的问题，以及为新一代社会、行为和生物医学科学家提供指导和合作的机会。
