 描述（由申请人提供）：哥伦比亚人口研究中心（CPRC）寻求研究基础设施2014财年（P2C）的资金从人口动态分支在NICHD/NIH（RFA-HD-14-016）。我们要求在2014年9月1日开始的五年期间提供1 297 874美元的直接费用。CPRC有四个主要研究领域：（1）儿童，青年和家庭，（2）性别，性，健康和艾滋病毒，（3）移民/移民，（4）城市化。这四个领域的研究由两个交叉主题统一起来：（1）弱势群体的健康和福祉;（2）解决这些脆弱性的公共卫生和社会政策的形成，实施和评估。 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知识社区;（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，专门研究当地，全国， （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地位所特有或加剧的问题，又利用和进一步发展哥伦比亚研究人员与当地学术机构、城市和国际机构之间的许多伙伴关系。 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由欧文加芬克尔、米切尔I共同执导。社会工作学院当代城市问题金斯伯格教授和康斯坦斯A。内桑森说，社会医学科学和人口与家庭健康的教授在梅尔曼公共卫生学院。

 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.
