California Center for Population Research (CCPR) at UCLA

整体项目总结 加州人口研究中心(CCPR)是一个大学范围的跨学科研究中心，地址为 加州大学洛杉矶分校(UCLA)。CCPR刺激、促进和支持雄心勃勃、高度 对人口动态中最重要的问题的跨学科研究的影响，通过1)维持和 为跨学科人群加强智力激发、支持和共事环境 研究；2)通过广泛的指导和支持，投资于下一代人口科学家； 3)在研究的所有阶段提供出色的行政、技术和方法支持 进程；4)促进创新研究方法的开发和使用；5)减少障碍，以 获取人口数据并支持新的数据收集；6)将CCPR研究和数据传播给 不同的观众。CCPR受益于鼓励跨学科的支持性大学环境 研究和所有单位--从社会科学到公共卫生和医学院--都是 位于同一个可步行的校园。加州大学洛杉矶分校为CCPR提供慷慨支持，视CCPR而定 维持其对NICHD的资助。 在NICHD和加州大学洛杉矶分校的支持下，CCPR在过去的20年里蓬勃发展，现在有139名教职员工 来自校园内17个部门的分支机构。为了保持CCPR的中心地位，我们引入了一个新的 最活跃的附属机构的从属关系形式，目前有70名教职员工。同时，作为CCPR 协作和活动延伸到加州大学洛杉矶分校以外，我们有32个外部分支机构，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方面：1) 家庭日益多样化及其对家庭成员福祉的影响，主要侧重于 家庭分裂、贫困家庭和多代家庭；2)移徙和移民及其 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 在健康和死亡率方面造成巨大差距的因素以及缩小这些差距的手段；4)长期-- 长期和近期生育率和避孕用具使用的变化，如何改善 妇女和儿童，以及艾滋病毒/艾滋病的社会和政策背景。在引领前沿的同时 这些领域的基础研究，CCPR研究员经常与政府机构和非政府组织合作 在应用研究项目和政策问题上的营利组织。 我们正在为CCPR的行政、发展和科学技术核心申请资金。 这些核心大大提高了NICHD和其他NIH为大型投资组合提供资金的成本效益 CCPR研究项目。这些核心提供的研究机会和服务也增强了 CCPR研究员的研究的生产率、质量和影响，并被早期研究人员优先考虑。

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.
