 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Duke University Population Research Center (DPRC) is an interdisciplinary research organization bringing together scientists from the social sciences (demography, economics, psychology, sociology) and the biological, mathematical, and statistical sciences at Duke. The center seeks to catalyze cutting-edge research that speaks to fundamental questions of population well-being and expands the boundaries of demographic investigation and to foster the development of the next generation of researchers. DPRC's impact will be greatest in three emerging areas: (a) Getting under the skin to understand the developmental processes of population health, (b) Understanding of the roles of social connections and network positions in population health, and (c) Identifying causal effects to advance understanding of behavior at the population level. We encourage and promote innovation in data collection and data analyses in pursuit of these questions. DPRC currently has 53 faculty associates from 10 departments, schools and institutes. This application requests funding from the NICHD Population Dynamics Centers Research Infrastructure (P2C) to support three cores, administration, development and science cores. The proposed cores will lower the administrative costs of seeking and managing external funding freeing researchers to concentrate on science. Our goal is to increase external funding by developing science that would not be possible without DPRC, given the number and quality of population researchers at Duke, its recent record of recruiting top population scientists, and its unique data resources (e.g., the leadership on major international panel surveys). Over the past 10 years, DPRC has become a major contributor to the population research community.

 描述（由申请人提供）：杜克大学人口研究中心 (DPRC) 是一个跨学科研究组织，汇集了杜克大学社会科学（人口学、经济学、心理学、社会学）以及生物、数学和统计科学领域的科学家。该中心致力于促进尖端研究，解决人口福祉的基本问题，扩大人口调查的范围，并促进下一代研究人员的发展。 DPRC 的影响将在三个新兴领域发挥最大作用：(a) 深入了解人口健康的发展过程；(b) 了解社会联系和网络地位在人口健康中的作用；(c) 确定因果效应，以增进对人口层面行为的理解。为了解决这些问题，我们鼓励并促进数据收集和数据分析方面的创新。 DPRC现有来自10个系、学院和研究所的53名教职人员。该申请请求 NICHD 人口动态中心研究基础设施 (P2C) 的资助，以支持三个核心：管理、发展和科学核心。拟议的核心将降低寻求和管理外部资金的行政成本，使研究人员能够专注于科学。我们的目标是通过发展科学来增加外部资金，考虑到杜克大学人口研究人员的数量和质量、其最近招募顶尖人口科学家的记录以及其独特的数据资源（例如，在主要国际小组调查中的领导地位），没有 DPRC 就不可能实现这一点。在过去的十年中，DPRC 已成为人口研究界的主要贡献者。
