Core B: Program Development The Duke Center on the Demography of Aging will promote a highly synergistic and interdisciplinary environment to foster important research breakthroughs particulariy in the areas of biological and biomedical demography of aging (aka the biodemography of aging) and in the development and application of innovative mathematical and statistical demographic tools and methods to data. As part of its Program Development Core, the Center will help establish two new faculty positions at Duke, one an assistant professor having a focus on biodemography and the other an assistant professor with expertise in mathematical and statistical demography. These will be tenure-track positions each funded for five years. This Core also supports the Center's Pilot Project program. Three examples of pilot project research are included in the Duke application, with one project focusing on eariy life determinants of later life health in China, and the other two projects researching biomarkers of aging and decision-making in Indonesia and Mexico. Other topics that are central to the Duke Center's research program and for which pilot research projects may be funded include: male-female differences in health and survival, the genetics of aging, new approaches to mortality and morbidity forecasting, mathematical and statistical methods for estimating age when age is not known, and mathematical and statistical analyses of tempo and other distortions of mortality and morbidity rates when health conditions are changing. The work performed in Core B will foster new young faculty and will advance research in the critically important areas of the biodemography of aging and in the mathematical and statistical demography of aging

核心 B：程序开发 杜克大学老龄人口学中心将促进高度协同和跨学科的研究 促进重要研究突破的环境，特别是在生物和生物医学领域 老龄化人口学（又称老龄化生物人口学）及其开发和应用 创新的数学和统计人口统计工具和数据方法。作为其计划的一部分 该中心的发展核心将帮助杜克大学设立两个新的教职职位，其中一个是助理 教授专注于生物人口学，另一位是助理教授，擅长生物人口学 数学和统计人口学。这些将是终身职位，每个职位的资助期限为五年。 该核心还支持该中心的试点项目计划。试点项目研究的三个例子是 包括在杜克大学的申请中，其中一个项目重点关注晚年健康的早年决定因素 中国以及印度尼西亚和印度的另外两个研究衰老和决策生物标志物的项目 墨西哥。杜克大学中心研究计划的核心以及试点研究的其他主题 可能资助的项目包括：男女在健康和生存方面的差异、衰老的遗传学、新 死亡率和发病率预测方法、估计年龄的数学和统计方法 当年龄未知时，对死亡率的节奏和其他扭曲进行数学和统计分析 以及健康状况发生变化时的发病率。 核心 B 中进行的工作将培养新的年轻教师，并将推进批判性领域的研究 老龄化生物人口学以及老龄化数学和统计人口学的重要领域
