Columbia Population Research Center

 描述(由申请人提供)：哥伦比亚人口研究中心(CPRC)从NICHD/NIH人口动力学分部寻求2014财年研究基础设施(P2C)资金(RFA-HD-14-016)。我们要求在2014年9月1日开始的五年内支付1,297,874美元的直接成本。CPRC有四个主要研究领域：(1)儿童、青年和家庭，(2)性别、性行为、健康和艾滋病毒，(3)移民/移徙，和(4)城市化。这四个领域的研究通过两个交叉主题联系在一起：(1)弱势群体的健康和福祉；(2)制定、执行和评估解决这些脆弱性的公共卫生和社会政策。我们的目标是：(1)在哥伦比亚大学培养一个充满活力的人口研究人员智力社区；(2)在我们的四个标志性领域推进人口研究；(3)成为一个领先的人口中心，专门研究地方、国家、 (4)利用哥伦比亚在纽约市的地理位置，既解决其作为全球城市的具体问题或因其地位而加剧的问题，也利用哥伦比亚研究人员与当地学术、城市和国际机构之间的许多合作伙伴关系。我们将通过三个研究基础设施核心来实现这些目标：管理、计算和方法，以及开发核心。后者将促进哥伦比亚大学教师之间的跨学科和跨校园研究联系，他们的工作推动了这些目标的实现。CPRC由社会工作学院当代城市问题米切尔·I·金斯伯格教授欧文·加芬克尔和梅尔曼公共卫生学院社会医学和人口与家庭健康教授康斯坦斯·A·纳桑森共同指导。

 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Columbia Population Research Center (CPRC) seeks Research Infrastructure FY 2014 (P2C) funding from the Population Dynamics Branch at NICHD/NIH (RFA-HD-14-016). We request $1,297,874 in direct costs over the five-year period beginning September 1, 2014. The CPRC has four primary research areas: (1) children, youth, and families, (2) gender, sexuality, health, and HIV, (3) immigration/migration, and (4) urbanism. Research in these four areas is united by two cross-cutting themes: (1) the health and well-being of vulnerable populations; and (2) the formation, implementation, and evaluation of public health and social policies that address these vulnerabilities. Our goals are to: (1) nourish a vibrant intellectual community of population researchers at Columbia University; (2) advance population research in our four signature areas; (3) become a leading population center specializing in research on the health and wellbeing of vulnerable populations locally, nationally, and internationally, and on public policies relevant to those populations; and (4) take advantage of Columbia's location in New York City, both to address issues specific to or aggravated by its status as a global city, and also to exploit and further develop the many partnerships between Columbia researchers and local academic, city, and international institutions. We will accomplish these goals through three research infrastructure cores: Administrative, Computing and Methods, and a Development Core. The latter will foster cross-disciplinary and cross-campus research linkages among Columbia faculty whose work advances those goals. The CPRC is co-directed by Irwin Garfinkel, Mitchell I. Ginsberg Professor of Contemporary Urban Problems in the Faculty of Social Work, and Constance A. Nathanson, Professor of Sociomedical Sciences and of Population and Family Health in the Mailman School of Public Health.
