The function of the developmental infrastructure core is to encourage and support population research, with an emphasis on innovative, interdisciplinary research and the development of new and early stage investigators. We have provided this encouragement and support through pilot project grants, early career awards (salary support that protects the time of promising junior faculty), a grant-writing residency, and working groups. We have provided assistance to researchers in all three of our signature themes: poverty and inequality, sexual and reproductive health, and family demography and the transition to adulthood, as well as supporting individual research in related areas, such as the demography of aging, longevity, and refugee health. Consistent with our forward-looking stance toward emerging research approaches, we have recently begun to support projects that can help develop the new themes we discussed earlier in the application: genetic and epigenetic processes and the social environment; and agent-based computational demography (See Section D of the Program Overview). We think the role of the developmental infrastructure core is not merely to passively receive proposals and decide which to fund but rather to also proactively encourage and develop promising research areas.

发展基础设施核心的功能是鼓励和支持人口研究， 强调创新、跨学科研究以及新的和早期阶段的开发 调查人员。我们通过试点项目拨款、早期职业生涯提供了这种鼓励和支持 奖项（保护有前途的初级教师的时间的工资支持），拨款写作驻留，以及 工作组。我们为研究人员提供了所有三个标志性主题的帮助：贫困和 不平等、性健康和生殖健康、家庭人口统计和向成年的过渡，以及 支持相关领域的个人研究，例如老龄化、长寿和难民的人口统计学 健康。与我们对新兴研究方法的前瞻性立场一致，我们最近 开始支持可以帮助开发我们之前在应用程序中讨论的新主题的项目： 遗传和表观遗传过程以及社会环境；和基于主体的计算人口统计学 （参见计划概述的 D 部分）。我们认为发展基础设施核心的作用不是 仅仅被动地接收提案并决定资助哪些提案，而是主动鼓励和 开发有前途的研究领域。
