DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Training in International Population and Health Sciences Program housed in the California Center for Population Research at UCLA is an ambitious and innovative program that will train a new generation of population scientists in Indonesia and Mexico. The foundation of the program is an exceptionally strong research base of extra-murally funded, inter-related and complementary projects that provide the ideal vehicle for interdisciplinary training in the population and health sciences. These large-scale research projects are the result of long-term investments in collaborative research projects by the US-based and international training faculty. The training program, which is designed to have the maximum impact on research and research capacity in the collaborating countries, has three main activities. First, long-term predoctoral trainees will enrol in Ph.D. programs at UCLA which are specifically designed for population scientists. These include programs in economics, public health and sociology. The programs provide the highest quality training in modern quantitative methods for population research. Second, medium-term training programs will be specifically tailored to the needs of population scientists from Mexico and Indonesia who will visit UCLA. The programs will enable the trainees to enhance and update their research-related skills while conducting their own and collaborative research. The medium- and long-term trainees will be integrated with the on-going research projects that are the research base for this application. Third, a series of short-term in-country training activities will contribute to the development of population research capacity in each of the collaborating countries. Some of the short-term workshops will emphasize data analysis and quantitative methods. Other short term training workshops will focus on emerging areas in population research where skill shortages are impeding the development of pioneering research in the population and health sciences. Trainees will receive instruction in the ethical conduct of population research. Special attention will be paid to recruiting outstanding minorities and to assuring that trainees return home to a productive research environment. The training program will significantly contribute to research capacity in both Mexico and Indonesia while also generating important benefits to the underlying research projects that form the foundation for this program.

描述（由申请人提供）：位于加州大学洛杉矶分校加州人口研究中心的国际人口和健康科学培训项目是一项雄心勃勃的创新项目，将培训印度尼西亚和墨西哥的新一代人口科学家。该计划的基础是一个异常强大的外部资助、相互关联和互补项目的研究基础，为人口和健康科学的跨学科培训提供了理想的工具。这些大型研究项目是美国和国际培训教师长期投资合作研究项目的结果。该培训计划旨在对合作国家的研究和研究能力产生最大影响，包括三项主要活动。首先，长期博士前培训生将攻读博士学位。加州大学洛杉矶分校的项目是专门为人口科学家设计的。其中包括经济学、公共卫生和社会学课程。这些计划为人口研究的现代定量方法提供最高质量的培训。其次，中期培训计划将专门针对将访问加州大学洛杉矶分校的墨西哥和印度尼西亚人口科学家的需求。这些计划将使学员能够在开展自己的研究和合作研究的同时提高和更新他们的研究相关技能。中长期学员将与正在进行的研究项目相结合，这些项目是本应用的研究基地。第三，一系列短期国内培训活动将有助于各合作国人口研究能力的发展。一些短期研讨会将强调数据分析和定量方法。其他短期培训研讨会将重点关注人口研究的新兴领域，这些领域的技能短缺阻碍了人口和健康科学开创性研究的发展。学员将接受人口研究道德行为方面的指导。我们将特别关注招募优秀的少数群体，并确保受训人员返回家乡后能够享受富有成效的研究环境。该培训计划将极大地提高墨西哥和印度尼西亚的研究能力，同时也为构成该计划基础的基础研究项目带来重要效益。
