Center for Demography and Ecology

总体组件 项目总结/摘要 该申请要求为人口与生态中心（CDE）提供五年的支持， 威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校CDE是一个高效率的人口研究中心，拥有70个分支机构， 四个学院的21个部门开展工作，直接解决了三个组成部分的问题。 人口动力学分支科学使命。CDE自2005年以来一直在NICHD中心获得资助。 1972年，本申请要求继续根据NICHD的人口动态支持 研究基础设施计划（P2C）。要求为一个行政核心、一个发展核心 一个科学和技术核心。该中心赠款将支持一个综合的和跨学科的 研究领域横跨人口科学的学者的集合。在过去的五年里，CDE 招募了一大批优秀的青年科学家和知名学者，加强了与世界各国的联系。 校园内设有与CDE研究领域相关的部门，研究中心和研究所。我们 研究组合现在更加多样化，更跨学科的性质，并涵盖了大部分的 生活的轨迹比过去。CDE附属机构在五个主要研究领域进行研究：（1）生育率， 家庭和住户;（2）不平等的人口统计学;（3）健康和生命历程;（4） 生物人口学;（5）空间与环境人口学。除了在每一个创新的研究， 在这些领域，CDE的研究人员继续收集和制作高质量的数据，供人口使用 研究社区，包括越来越多的遗传和生物标志物数据。持续的基础设施 NICHD的支持将使CDE能够利用大学的大量承诺， 个人研究赠款，以及优秀的人力和组织资源，以促进创新 人口科学的跨学科研究。

Overall Component Project Summary/Abstract This application requests five years of support for the Center for Demography and Ecology (CDE) at the University of Wisconsin–Madison. CDE is a highly-productive population research center, with 70 affiliates in 21 departments across four colleges conducting work that directly addresses the three components of the Population Dynamics Branch scientific mission. CDE has held NICHD center grant funding continuously since 1972, and this application requests continuation of that support under NICHD's Population Dynamics Research Infrastructure Program (P2C). Support is requested for an Administrative Core, a Development Core, and a Scientific and Technical Core. The center grant would support an integrated and interdisciplinary collection of scholars whose research spans the field of population science. During the past five years, CDE has recruited a large number of excellent young scientists and established scholars and strengthened its ties across campus with departments, research centers and institutes in fields related to CDE's research areas. Our research portfolio is now more diverse, more interdisciplinary in character, and covers a greater portion of the life course than in the past. CDE affiliates conduct research in five primary research areas: (1) Fertility, Families and Households; (2) the Demography of Inequality; (3) Health and the Life Course; (4) Biodemography; and (5) Spatial and Environmental Demography. In addition to innovative research in each of these areas, CDE researchers continue to collect and produce high-quality data for use by the population research community, including a growing body of genetic and biomarker data. Continued infrastructure support from NICHD will allow CDE to leverage substantial commitments from the University, a large portfolio of individual research grants, and outstanding human and organizational resources to promote innovative interdisciplinary research in population science.
