California Center for Population Research (CCPR) at UCLA

项目总体概要 加州人口研究中心 (CCPR) 是一个全校范围内的跨学科研究中心，位于 加州大学洛杉矶分校 (UCLA)。 CCPR 激励、推进和支持雄心勃勃、高水平的 影响，对人口动态中最重要问题的跨学科研究，通过 1）维持和 为跨学科人群加强智力刺激、支持性和合议性的环境 研究； 2）通过广泛的指导和支持投资下一代人口科学家； 3）在研究的各个阶段提供出色的行政、技术和方法支持 过程； 4）促进创新研究方法的开发和使用； 5）减少障碍 访问人口数据并支持新的数据收集； 6) 将 CCPR 研究和数据传播给 各种受众。 CCPR 受益于鼓励跨学科发展的支持性大学环境 研究，所有单位——从社会科学到公共卫生和医学院——都在 位于同一个步行校园内。加州大学洛杉矶分校为 CCPR 提供慷慨支持，具体取决于 CCPR 维持其 NICHD 资金。 在 NICHD 和 UCLA 的支持下，CCPR 在过去二十年中蓬勃发展，目前拥有 139 名教职人员 来自校园内 17 个部门的附属机构。为了保持 CCPR 的中心地位，我们引入了新的 最活跃的附属机构的附属形式，目前有 70 名教职人员“研究员”。同时，作为 CCPR 我们的合作和活动超出了加州大学洛杉矶分校校园范围，我们有 32 个外部附属机构，包括 来自资源不足机构 (URI) 的同事。 CCPR 的研究主要集中在四个领域：1) 家庭日益多样化及其对家庭成员福祉的影响，主要关注 家庭破裂、贫困家庭和多代家庭； 2）移民和移民及其 对社会、健康和福祉的影响； 3）种族主义和歧视、贫困和其他结构性问题 造成健康和死亡率巨大差距的因素以及缩小这些差距的方法； 4) 长- 近期和近期生育力和避孕药具使用的变化，如何改善生殖健康结果 妇女和儿童以及艾滋病毒/艾滋病的社会和政策背景。在进行前沿的同时 CCPR 研究员经常与政府机构和非机构合作 应用研究项目和政策问题的盈利组织。 我们正在请求为 CCPR 的行政、开发和科学技术核心提供资金。 这些核心大大提高了 NICHD 和其他 NIH 大型投资组合资金的成本效益 CCPR 研究项目。这些核心提供的研究机会和服务也增强了 CCPR 研究员研究的生产力、质量和影响力，并优先考虑早期研究人员。

OVERALL PROJECT SUMMARY The California Center for Population Research (CCPR) is a university-wide interdisciplinary research center at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). CCPR stimulates, advances, and supports ambitious, high- impact, interdisciplinary research on the most important issues in population dynamics by 1) sustaining and strengthening an intellectually stimulating, supportive, and collegial environment for interdisciplinary population research; 2) investing in the next generation of population scientists through extensive mentoring and support; 3) providing excellent administrative, technical, and methodological support at all stages of the research process; 4) promoting the development and use of innovative research methods; 5) reducing barriers to accessing population data and supporting new data collection; 6) disseminating CCPR research and data to a variety of audiences. CCPR benefits from a supportive university environment that encourages interdisciplinary research and in which all units – from the social sciences to the public health and medical schools – are located on the same walkable campus. UCLA provides CCPR with generous support, contingent on CCPR maintaining its NICHD funding. With this NICHD and UCLA support, CCPR has been thriving these past two decades and now has 139 faculty Affiliates from 17 departments across campus. To maintain CCPR centeredness, we have introduced a new form of affiliation for the most active Affiliates, with currently 70 faculty “Fellows.” Concurrently, as CCPR collaborations and activities extend beyond the UCLA campus, we have 32 external affiliates, including colleagues from under-resourced institutions (URIs). CCPR's research focuses primarily on four areas: 1) increasing diversity of the family and its consequences for family members' well-being, focusing mainly on family disruption, families in poverty, and multigenerational families; 2) migration and immigration and its consequences for society, health, and well-being; 3) racism and discrimination, poverty, and other structural factors in producing wide gaps in health and mortality, as well as the means for reducing these gaps; 4) long- term and recent fertility and contraceptive use changes, how to improve reproductive health outcomes for women and children, and the social and policy contexts of HIV/AIDS. While conducting cutting-edge fundamental research in these areas, CCPR Fellows frequently work with governmental agencies and non- profit organizations on applied research projects and policy issues. We are requesting funding for CCPR's Administrative, Development, and Scientific and Technical Cores. These cores substantially increase the cost-effectiveness of NICHD and other NIH funding for a large portfolio of CCPR research projects. The research opportunities and services these Cores provide also enhance the productivity, quality, and impact of CCPR Fellows' research and are prioritized for early-stage researchers.
