项目总结 针对2015财年人口动态中心研究基础设施(P2C)的RFA-HD-15-009， 科罗拉多大学博尔德人口中心(CuPC)请求NICHD提供五年资金用于 基础设施支撑。2010年，随着第一个中锋奖的颁发，CUPC在规模和 学院附属机构的质量、外部资助的数量以及其专业存在和学术水平 对人口研究的影响。在继续资助中心的情况下，我们建议在此基础上通过 我们主要研究领域的创新工作；跨学科的协作联系；与 其他大学和国家的同事；指导和支持一群有前途的初级教师； 中心对人口科学研究的卓越支持；以及增加外部资金。朝向这些 目标，该提案描述了该中心的三个主要研究领域：健康和死亡率；移民 和空间人口学；以及环境人口学。它还描述了扩大资金支持的计划， 提出几项新的研究计划，利用中心的资金瞄准新的和重要的研究，并引入 在人口问题上具有新的专业知识和共同兴趣的学者。这些活动都是为了增加 中心研究的速度和影响。 该中心需要三个基础架构核心：管理核心为所有用户提供关键服务 附属机构，包括研究项目的文书、书目、编辑和赠款管理支持。这个 Development Core提供种子奖励，允许研究人员--特别是初级附属机构--开始并 发展创新研究，增加获得外部资金的机会。它还为以下方面提供领导 扩大我们主要研究领域的几项新举措。科学/技术(或数据)核心交易 与数据的访问、管理、处理和分析有关的问题。它支持一流的 用于处理大型复杂数据集并利用关联企业的计算和技术环境 统计培训和咨询方面的专门知识。

PROJECT SUMMARY In response to RFA-HD-15-009 for the Population Dynamics Centers Research Infrastructure FY 2015 (P2C), the University of Colorado at Boulder Population Center (CUPC) requests five years of funding from NICHD for infrastructure support. With its first center award in 2010, CUPC made substantial progress in the size and quality of the faculty affiliates, the number of external grants, and its professional presence and scholarly influence in population research. With continued center funding, we propose to build on this progress with innovative work in our primary research areas; collaborative ties across disciplines; institutional ties with colleagues in other universities and nations; mentoring and support for a group of promising junior faculty; center support for excellence in population science research; and increased external funding. Toward these goals, the proposal describes the three primary research areas of the center: health and mortality; migration and spatial demography; and environmental demography. It also describes plans to scale up funding support, advance several new research initiatives, target novel and significant research with center funding, and bring in scholars with new expertise and shared interests in population topics. The activities all aim to increase the pace and impact of center research. The center requests three infrastructure cores: The Administrative Core provides crucial services to all affiliates, including clerical, bibliographic, editing, and grants management support for research projects. The Development Core provides seed awards to allow researchers – particularly junior affiliates – to begin and develop innovative research and improve chances for external funding. It further provides leadership for several new initiatives that expand our primary research areas. The Scientific/Technical (or Data) Core deals with issues relating to the access, management, processing, and analysis of data. It supports a first-rate computing and technology environment for handling large and complex data sets and makes use of affiliate expertise for statistical training and consultation.
