MULTIDISCIPLINARY TRAINING IN POPULATION

描述（由申请人提供）：人口和家庭健康科学，社会学和经济学系加入请求在约翰霍普金斯大学人口研究多学科培训的支持。该提案要求支持六名博士前培训生。约翰霍普金斯大学在人口研究和培训方面有着悠久的历史，主要位于卫生与公共卫生学院[SHPH]。学校的多学科，多国环境是拟议计划的主要优势。受训人员将从所有三个部抽调，从而形成一个庞大和合格的受训候选人库。他们将在他们的家庭部门完成学位要求。人口学和人口的核心课程要求将在SHPH完成。共同的物理空间将在SHPH提供，沿着各种培训相关的活动和研究机会，将有助于跨三个部门的方案的整合。十七名霍普金斯教师从一系列学科背景，并与人口研究的共同承诺，构成了这个计划的培训教师。教师在人口与健康，贫困和福利两个广泛领域的研究深度，反映在教师之间的合作研究，教师和学生之间，是这个计划的第二个优势，为学生提供机会参与，并发起，研究都在美国和发展中国家。申请人描述的计划吸引了优秀的学生，提供了优秀的培训，并产生了非常成功的毕业生。然而，虽然申请人能够资助国际学生从事人口研究，但她对来自美国的学生几乎没有支持。本提案的目的是弥补这一不足。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Departments of Population and Family Health Sciences, Sociology, and Economics join in requesting support for multidisciplinary training in population research at the Johns Hopkins University. This proposal asks support for six predoctoral trainees. Johns Hopkins University has a long history of research and training in population, located primarily in the School of Hygiene and Public Health [SHPH]. The School's multidisciplinary, multinational environment is a major strength of the proposed program. Trainees will be drawn from all three departments, making for a large and well-qualified pool of traineeship candidates. They will complete degree requirements in their home department. Core course requirements in demography and population will be completed at the SHPH. Common physical space to be provided at SHPH, along with a variety of training-related activities and research opportunities, will contribute to integration of the program across the three departments. Seventeen Hopkins faculty members from a range of disciplinary backgrounds and with a common commitment to population research constitute the training faculty for this program. The depth of faculty research in the two broad areas of population and health, and poverty and welfare, as reflected in collaborative research among the faculty and between faculty and students, are a second strength of this program, offering opportunities for students to participate in, and to initiate, research both in the U.S. and in developing countries. The program that the applicant describes attracts outstanding students, provides excellent training, and produces highly successful graduates. However, while the applicant is able to fund international students in population research, she has little support for students from the United States. The purpose of this proposal is to remedy that deficiency.
