Center for Demography and Ecology

整体组件 项目摘要/摘要 此应用程序要求为人口统计和生态中心(CDE)提供五年的支持 威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校。CDE是一个高生产率的人口研究中心，在 四个学院的21个部门正在开展工作，直接解决 人口动态科科学任务。此后，CDE一直持有NICHD中心赠款资金 1972年，该应用程序请求在NICHD的人口动态下继续提供这种支持 研究基础设施计划(P2C)。请求支持管理核心、开发核心、 和一个科学技术核心。该中心的赠款将支持一个综合的和跨学科的 研究横跨人口科学领域的学者的集合。在过去的五年中，CDE 吸收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 在与CDE研究领域相关的领域设有部门、研究中心和研究所。我们的 研究组合现在更加多样化，更具跨学科性质，并涵盖更大比例的 比起过去的人生历程。CDE分支机构在五个主要研究领域进行研究：(1)生育率， 家庭与家庭；(2)不平等的人口统计学；(3)健康与生命历程；(4) 生物人口学；以及(5)空间和环境人口学。除了在每个领域的创新研究 在这些地区，CDE研究人员继续收集和产生高质量的数据，供人们使用 研究界，包括不断增长的遗传和生物标记物数据。持续的基础设施 来自NICHD的支持将使CDE能够利用来自大学的大量承诺，这是一个大型投资组合 个人研究拨款，以及优秀的人力和组织资源，以促进创新 人口科学中的跨学科研究。

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.
