DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Center on Population, Gender, and Social Inequality ("the Center") draws together leading scholars from disciplines to support, produce and promote population-related research of the highest scientific merit. The Center's research focuses on four key areas: (1) social and economic inequality, 2) gender, work, family, and fertility,(3) life course analyses of health and disability (4) data development for population research. The Center strives to develop young scholars and to encourage scholars from allied fields to engage in population-related research through research support, training and mentoring. The Center's proximity to Federal statistical agencies allows scholars access to under-utilized or restricted-use government data for their research. This university-government partnership allows Center faculty members to conduct innovative academic research while contributing to the improvement of data collection at the federal statistical agencies. The Center's proximity to Washington D.C. also strongly positions the Center's faculty to provide non-partisan, scientific evidence on population-related issues to policy makers. We seek to facilitate interdisciplinary research collaboration and involvement in population research at enter. NICHD infrastructure support will enhance University of Maryland support for administrative and computing cores of the Center. We also request developmental infrastructure funding to support an interdisciplinary seminar series and a small "seed" grant program that will enhance the research of both faculty and graduate students as well as attract new scholars. In addition, we seek funds to formalize relationship with the Center for Economic Studies (CES) at the Census Bureau and to extend our relationship to other agencies. These partnerships with statistical agencies not only enhance innovative population research in the Center, but also improve the quality and quantity of data for the larger population research community.

人口、性别与社会不平等研究中心（以下简称“中心”）汇集了各学科的顶尖学者，支持、开展和促进具有最高科学价值的人口相关研究。该中心的研究集中在四个关键领域：(1)社会和经济不平等；(2)性别、工作、家庭和生育；(3)健康和残疾的生命历程分析；(4)人口研究的数据开发。中心致力于培养青年学者，并通过研究支持、培训和指导，鼓励相关领域的学者从事人口相关研究。该中心靠近联邦统计机构，使学者可以访问未充分利用或限制使用的政府数据进行研究。这种大学与政府的合作关系使中心的教职员工能够进行创新的学术研究，同时有助于改善联邦统计机构的数据收集。该中心靠近华盛顿特区，这也使该中心的教职员工能够就人口相关问题向政策制定者提供无党派的科学证据。
