项目摘要/摘要-科学/技术核心 科学/技术核心(STC)的目标是推进密歇根大学的主要目标 人口研究中心(PSC)-设计、创建和使用新数据来促进人口增长 科学--改进用于收集和分析人口数据的方法，并提供支持 以及关于计算、数据访问和存储的指南。STC将提供科学和技术支持 在一系列活动中支持中心的新老研究人员，从而增强 提高他们的生产力，增加他们工作的影响和创新，并促进协作项目。这个 STC将致力于为PSC的研究人员提供方法学资源和培训 对于推进创新和大规模调查、分析大数据和复杂的调查数据是必要的， 将管理数据和有机数据联系起来，设计和实施实验和准实验 研究，以及处理受限制的数据。它将通过提供研讨会、研讨会和 咨询，以及指导研究人员和促进PSC教职员工和 支持大学级资源的获取。此外，STC将为以下项目提供直接小额资助 PSC教职员工开发和实施新的研究方法。这些与方法相关的活动构成了 我们增加科学创新和PSC进行的研究的影响的方法的支柱 教职员工和提交给NIH和其他资助者的拨款提案的成功。

Project Summary/Abstract – Scientific/Technical Core The objective of the Scientific/Technical Core (STC) is to advance the main aim of the University of Michigan's Population Studies Center (PSC)—which is to design, create, and use new data to advance population science—by advancing methods used for collecting and analyzing demographic data and by providing support and guidance for computing and data access and storage. The STC will provide scientific and technical support across a range of activities to both new and established researchers in the center, thereby enhancing their productivity, increasing the impact and innovation of their work, and facilitating collaborative projects. The STC will focus on providing researchers at PSC the access to methodological resources and training necessary for advancing innovative and large-scale surveys, analyzing big data and complex survey data, linking administrative and organic data, and designing and implementing experimental and quasi-experimental studies, as well as working with restricted data. It will do so by offering seminars, workshops, and consultations, as well as by mentoring researchers and by facilitating collaborations among PSC faculty and supporting access to university-level resources. In addition, the STC will provide direct small grant support for PSC faculty to develop and implement new research methods. These methodology-related activities form the backbone of our approach to increase the scientific innovation and impact of the research conducted by PSC faculty and the success of grant proposals submitted to NIH and other funders.
