DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application requests NICHD development support for population research at the University of California, Berkeley. The campus' long history of excellence in demographic teaching and research was recently enhanced by the creation of the campus-wide Berkeley Population Center (BPC). The Center is designed to serve as an institutional and intellectual home to the community of population researchers on the Berkeley campus. BPC research affiliates come from a wide range of social science and health science departments, with particular strengths in the thematic areas of population health, labor, family and immigration. BPC researchers are further drawn together by their commitment to developing population theory and innovative methods, as well as collecting and disseminating primary data for use by researchers both within and beyond the Berkeley campus. The Center's goal and stated purpose is to bring together Berkeley population researchers who have been historically isolated by academic department, facilitate interdisciplinary collaborations, spur innovative new projects and support junior faculty and others new to the population field. BPC functions are being organized around cores: an administrative core, computer core and research development core. These will provide support for BPC affiliates by assisting with grant applications and administration, providing hardware and software for data analysis, and awarding pilot grants for interdisciplinary projects. The developmental grant support from NICHD will augment current university support for the BPC, and play a crucial role in helping Berkeley's population research community to further flourish in a vibrant center of intellectual exchange. Project Relevance: The Berkeley Population Center strives to facilitate interdisciplinary collaboration and innovation in population research, while providing essential and cost-effective resources in support of the development, conduct, and dissemination of our work. Our center is designed to: 1) enhance the quality and quantity of population research conducted at Berkeley; and 2) develop new research capabilities to advance population research through innovative approaches. Our signature research themes of population health, labor demography, family demography, and immigration each address concerns with population processes, size, and composition. The health of individuals and populations is influenced by social and economic context. As such, the study of population health is best advanced by incorporating the theory, methods and findings from other areas of population research. By bringing together faculty and students from a wide range of academic backgrounds, each with a different perspective on population dynamics, the Berkeley Population Center will help to further understanding of the causes and consequences of population health.

描述(由申请者提供)：本申请请求NICHD为加州大学伯克利分校的人口研究提供发展支持。该校在人口统计学教学和研究方面的悠久历史最近得到了加强，因为全校范围内的伯克利人口中心(BPC)的创建。该中心旨在为伯克利校园内的人口研究人员社区提供机构和知识方面的支持。BPC的研究分支机构来自广泛的社会科学和卫生科学部门，在人口健康、劳工、家庭和移民等主题领域具有特别的优势。BPC研究人员致力于发展人口理论和创新方法，并收集和传播主要数据，供伯克利校区内外的研究人员使用，这进一步吸引了他们。该中心的目标和规定的目的是将历史上被学术部门孤立的伯克利人口研究人员聚集在一起，促进跨学科合作，鼓励创新的新项目，并支持初级教师和其他人口领域的新手。业务流程控制的职能围绕核心进行组织：行政核心、计算机核心和研究开发核心。这些机构将通过协助赠款申请和管理、为数据分析提供硬件和软件以及为跨学科项目提供试点赠款，为业务伙伴关系提供支助。NICHD的发展赠款支持将增加目前大学对BPC的支持，并在帮助伯克利人口研究社区在一个充满活力的智力交流中心进一步蓬勃发展方面发挥关键作用。 项目相关性：伯克利人口中心致力于促进人口研究中的跨学科合作和创新，同时提供必要和具有成本效益的资源，以支持我们工作的发展、实施和传播。我们的中心旨在：1)提高在伯克利进行的人口研究的质量和数量；2)发展新的研究能力，通过创新的方法推进人口研究。我们的标志性研究主题是人口健康、劳动人口学、家庭人口学和移民，每个主题都涉及人口过程、规模和构成。个人和人口的健康受到社会和经济环境的影响。因此，人口健康的研究最好是结合人口研究的其他领域的理论、方法和发现。通过将来自不同学术背景的教职员工和学生聚集在一起，他们各自对人口动态有不同的观点，伯克利人口中心将有助于进一步了解人口健康的原因和后果。基础设施部分的描述在小灵通398研究计划的“研究设计和方法”部分
