 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application describes our plans to continue the successful development of the Institute for Population Research [IPR] at Ohio State University as an interdisciplinary population science center. Defining features of IPR are: (i) Encouragement of the application to population phenomena of theory and models from multiple disciplines, resulting in far richer and more informative conceptualizations; (ii) Active support o innovative research methodologies which derive from rapidly emerging new research technologies; (iii) Favoring of collaborative research which crosses disciplinary boundaries, and research by junior scholars; (iv) Investment of maximum resources in new population science projects and, corresponding, a slim and efficient administrative structure. IPR consists of three research infrastructure cores: Administrative Core; Development Core; Data & Computing Core. The Administrative Core will handle all routine administrative tasks required to maintain IPR's ambitious and diverse program of activities and services. The largest administrative assignment is management of the IPR Seed Grant Program, an activity of the Development Core. The Administrative Core will also handle essential administrative tasks that include maintaining the IPR Database, conducting an annual evaluation of IPR's success in meeting the goals specified in this application, disseminating research findings, and other routine administration. The Development Core is the heart of IPR, as judged by its contribution to achieving the goals specified above and, more concretely, as judged by the allocation of IPR resources. In addition to the large IPR Seed Grant Program, this core will sponsor working groups, the weekly IPR Seminar, and didactic workshops. Jointly with the Administrative Core, it will offer IPR affiliates substantial assistance in constructing and submitting applications for external funding, and it wil ensure that IPR affiliates are compliant with regulations regarding the conduct of research and the public accessibility of research results. The Data & Computing Core is new. This core is designed to assist IPR affiliates in taking full advantage of innovations in data collection, data management, and high-end computing which open new doors for population science. A new staff position Data & Computing Manager will be created. IPR will offer data and computing services to assist affiliates in making best use of new masses of data and new technologies to gain better understanding of population and health outcomes. Our assessment is that IPR can be of maximum added value to OSU population scientists in two respects: first, by providing resources to get new projects off the ground; second, by directing these scientists to opportunities of which they may be unaware and/or assisting them in taking advantage of these opportunities. The first is achieved via the IPR Seed Grant Program and related activities/services. The second will be achieved via the new Data & Computing Core.

 描述（由申请人提供）：本申请描述了我们继续成功发展俄亥俄州州立大学人口研究所[IPR]作为跨学科人口科学中心的计划。知识产权的定义特征是：㈠鼓励将多学科的理论和模式应用于人口现象，从而产生更丰富和更有信息量的概念; ㈡积极支持从迅速出现的新研究技术中产生的创新研究方法; ㈢支持跨学科的合作研究和初级学者的研究; ㈣将最大限度的资源投资于新的人口科学项目，并相应地建立精简而有效的行政结构。IPR由三个研究基础设施核心组成：行政核心;发展核心;数据和计算核心。行政核心将处理所有日常行政任务，以保持知识产权的雄心勃勃的和多样化的活动和服务计划。最大的行政任务是管理知识产权种子赠款计划，这是发展核心的一项活动。行政核心还将处理基本的行政任务，包括维护知识产权数据库，对知识产权在实现本申请中指定的目标方面的成功进行年度评估，传播研究成果以及其他日常行政工作。发展核心是知识产权的核心，这是从它对实现上述目标的贡献来判断的，更具体地说，是从知识产权资源的分配来判断的。除了大型的知识产权种子赠款计划，该核心将赞助工作组，每周知识产权研讨会和教学讲习班。它将与行政核心一起， 它将在建立和提交外部资金申请方面提供大量援助，并将确保知识产权分支机构遵守有关开展研究和公众获得研究成果的规定。数据和计算核心是新的。该核心旨在协助知识产权分支机构充分利用数据收集、数据管理和高端计算方面的创新，为人口科学打开新的大门。一个新的工作人员职位数据和计算经理将被创建。投资政策审查将提供数据和计算服务，协助附属机构最佳利用新的大量数据和新技术，更好地了解人口和卫生成果。我们的评估是，知识产权可以在两个方面为俄勒冈州立大学的人口科学家带来最大的附加值：第一，通过提供资源，使新项目启动;第二，通过指导这些科学家获得他们可能不知道的机会和/或帮助他们利用这些机会。第一个是通过知识产权种子赠款方案和相关活动/服务实现的。第二个目标将通过新的数据和计算核心实现。
