摘要：概述 这项申请要求为人口研究所(PRI)提供五年的基础设施资金。 40多年前在宾夕法尼亚州立大学(PSU)成立，由国家 卫生研究院(NIH)自1992年以来在PSU的慷慨补充支持下，这一充满活力的 多学科学者社区提供战略资源，支持创新、高影响力 人口研究。PRI的首要目标是促进对人类群体的科学理解 动态和过程，特别是当它们与PRI的五个主要研究领域有关时：社区， 社区与空间进程、移民与移民融合、社会变迁与变迁 家庭、人口健康、犯罪的原因和后果。PRI促进合作研究 通过ITS的活动和种子赠款计划促进初级学者的伙伴关系和发展 开发核心(DC)。该研究所还支持新方法的开发和应用 和方法，这些方法可以通过其 计算和空间分析(CSA)核心。最后，研究所通过以下方式提高教员的研究效率 通过其管理核心减少与研究管理相关的障碍和负担 (Ac)。 PRI为开展人口研究提供了一个高度支持的环境。它位于一所大学里 对促进跨学科研究有着坚定的承诺和丰富的传统。一个这样的例子是 PSU向革命制度党提供了慷慨的财政和基础设施支持。在所有级别的资历中，PRI员工 都是高生产力的，几乎所有的都得到了外部资金。巴黎州立大学的人口学就不会 如果不是因为其P2C/R24/P30基础设施赠款，它实现了这种影响水平，这产生了乘数 效果。来自NIH的投资凝聚了机构和教师对人口科学的承诺， 使PSU能够招聘一流的教师，并导致了一个更多的智力社区的发展 比它各部分的总和更有生产力。这些教职员工为PRI在家庭、移民、 和空间人口学，并建立了与PSU其他杰出教职员工群体，即人口 健康学者、犯罪学家和地理学家。研究人员还帮助推动了人口增长 通过应用和分析新形式的数据(包括受限的、空间的、社交网络的、 以及其他形式的“大数据”)。

Summary: Overview This application requests five years of infrastructure funding for the Population Research Institute (PRI). Established over four decades ago at the Pennsylvania State University (PSU) and funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) since 1992 with generous supplemental support from PSU, this vibrant, multidisciplinary community of scholars provides strategic resources to support innovative, high impact population research. PRI's overarching aim is to advance the scientific understanding of human population dynamics and processes, especially as they relate to PRI's five primary research areas: Communities, Neighborhoods and Spatial Processes, Immigration and Immigrant Integration, Social Change and Changing Families, Population Health, and the Causes and Consequences of Crime. PRI fosters collaborative research partnerships and the development of junior scholars through the activities and seed grant program of its Development Core (DC). The institute further supports the development and application of novel approaches and methods that can make important and cutting edge contributions to population research through its Computational and Spatial Analysis (CSA) Core. Finally, the Institute increases faculty research productivity by reducing the barriers and burdens associated with research administration through its Administrative Core (AC). PRI provides a highly supportive environment for conducting population research. It is located at a university with a strong commitment to and rich tradition of facilitating interdisciplinary research. An example of this is PSU's generous financial and infrastructure support provided to PRI. Across all levels of seniority, PRI faculty are highly productive and nearly all receive external funding. Population science at PSU would not have achieved this level of impact, were it not for its P2C/R24/P30 infrastructure grants, which have had a multiplier effect. The investments from NIH have rallied institutional and faculty commitment to population science, enabled PSU to recruit top-notch faculty, and led to the development of an intellectual community that is more productive than the sum of its parts. These faculty contribute to PRI's existing strengths in family, immigration, and spatial demography, and have built bridges to other exceptional faculty groups at PSU, namely population health scholars, criminologists, and geographers. Researchers have also helped to advance population research through the application and analysis of new forms of data (including restricted, spatial, social network, and other forms of “big” data).
