Michigan Research Infrastructure for Population Sciences

总体情况：摘要 这项申请要求为人口研究中心提供五年的研究基础设施支持 密歇根大学(U-M)PSC学位。PSC已经并将继续使用这笔资金来创建一个 环境和资源，否则将无法获得，包括：(1)充满活力的知识分子 协作、跨学科的人口科学家社区；(2)多式联运培训和自始至终 支持科学家提高其在优先领域经同行审查的外部资金方面的竞争力 (3)小额赠款，资助高度优先的试点项目，方法 开发和计算资源；(4)研讨会、实践研讨会和精心策划的咨询 用于改进数据收集和分析方法的资源范围；以及(5)端到端研究项目 管理支持。在所有活动中，我们特别关注初级科学家的需求，并在接下来的五年中 几年来，我们将加强更广泛的研究界的接触。自罗纳德·弗里德曼于 1961年，PSC团结并支持了一群杰出的人口科学家在设计、创造和 利用可公开获得的新数据来推进人口科学。该中心将继续由Long-Long- 长期、标志性项目，如收入动态小组研究(PSID)和奇特万山谷家庭 在尼泊尔的研究(CVFS)-每个代表PDB的主要投资。他们加在一起，已经生产了超过 5,250份同行评议的出版物，300,000份引文，以及数千名数据用户。这些极具意义的 项目也是PSC内部协作的引擎，有助于催生新一代创新 项目的重点是NICHD-PDB的优先事项。一个关键的例子是美国家庭健康研究(AFHS)，一个 创新的密歇根大学数据收集项目，旨在提供NSFG以前提供的内容，但 使用更灵活、更具成本效益的网络调查。我们在此应用程序中的目标是使用P2C资源 激励和支持：对人口科学中重大和紧急问题的新研究；使用 数据收集和分析的创新方法；以及新一代人口的发展 在这一生产环境中的科学家，配备了成功参与PDB研究的工具 优先事项。PSC的行政、开发和科学技术核心目前提供创新 向来自14个学科和部门的69个附属机构提供行政、智力、职业发展和技术资源 密歇根大学的8所学校和大学，以及其他地方越来越多的人口动力学研究人员 机构。他们的工作推动了PSC三个实质性PRA的科学进步：(1)家庭和代际 对健康和幸福的影响；(2)生殖健康、生育和恋爱关系；以及(3) 人口健康、生命历程和生物社会过程。

OVERALL: SUMMARY This application requests five years of research infrastructure support for the Population Studies Center (PSC) at the University of Michigan (U-M). The PSC has and will continue to use this funding to create an environment and resources that would not otherwise be available, including: (1) a vibrant intellectual community of collaborative, interdisciplinary population scientists; (2) multimodal training and start-to-finish support for scientists to enhance their competitiveness for peer-reviewed external funding in priority areas for the NICHD Population Dynamics Branch (PDB); (3) small grants to fund high-priority pilot projects, methods development, and computing resources; (4) seminars, hands-on workshops, and curated consulting across a range of resources to advance methods for collecting and analyzing data; and (5) end-to-end research project management support. In all activities, we focus particularly on the needs of junior scientists, and in the next five years we will enhance the broader research community’s access. Since its founding by Ronald Freedman in 1961, PSC has united and supported an exceptional group of population scientists in the design, creation, and use of new, publicly available data to advance population science. The Center continues to be unified by long- term, signature projects, such as the Panel Study of Income Dynamics (PSID) and the Chitwan Valley Family Study (CVFS) in Nepal—each representing major PDB investments. Together, they have produced more than 5,250 peer-reviewed publications, 300,000 citations, and thousands of data users. These highly significant projects also serve as engines of collaboration within PSC, helping to spawn a new generation of innovative projects focused on NICHD-PDB priorities. A key example is the American Family Health Study (AFHS), an innovative U-M data collection project designed to provide content previously available from the NSFG, but using a more flexible and cost effective web survey. Our objective in this application is to use P2C resources to stimulate and support: new research on significant and emergent questions in population science; the use of innovative approaches to data collection and analysis; and the development of a new generation of population scientists within this productive environment, equipped with the tools to engage successfully in PDB research priorities. PSC’s Administrative, Development and Scientific and Technical Cores currently provide innovative administrative, intellectual, career development and technical resources to 69 affiliates from 14 disciplines and 8 schools and colleges across U-M, as well as a growing number of population dynamics researchers at other institutions. Their work advances science in PSC’s three substantive PRAs: (1) Family and Intergenerational Influences on Health and Wellbeing; (2) Reproductive Health, Fertility, and Romantic Relationships; and (3) Population Health, the Life Course, and Biosocial Processes.
