Cornell Population Program

描述(申请人提供)：康奈尔人口计划(CPP)在H.伊丽莎白·彼得斯博士的行政领导下，有68个附属机构，专门从事与三个核心主题有关的人口研究：(1)家庭和儿童；(2)健康行为和差异；以及(3)贫困和不平等。交叉主题包括注重政策、种族和族裔多样性、移徙和移民、社会和生物机制以及国内和国际研究。附属机构来自康奈尔大学15个不同的部门或项目，代表了包括人口学、经济学、政府、心理学、社会学和统计学在内的广泛学科。CPP提供了一个独特的机会，可以将不同的教职员工聚集在一起，建立一个人口研究中心，支持跨学科以及国内和国际比较研究，增加这些研究的研究资金，促进高质量的研究，并准备将学术研究转化为有意义的政策建议。对这一倡议的支持来自康奈尔大学的最高行政级别。CPP目前的资金来自康奈尔社会科学副教务长办公室的种子赠款、几所大学的院长以及CPP所在的行政单位布朗芬布伦纳生命课程中心(BLCC)的配套资金和行政支助。 在这份申请中，我们申请了NICHD人口基础设施计划--正在崛起的短期支持计划(SSRP)的资金，以支持三个研究核心(行政、计算机和统计核心)和一个发展核心。鉴于康奈尔大学人口研究的数量和质量及其独特的数据资源(例如，人口普查研究数据中心和跨国等值文件)，CPP在更大的人口研究社区中处于快速上升的轨道上。如本申请所述，NICHD基金将支持新的活动，以发展协同效应，并促进位于校园不同单元的人口研究人员之间的合作。拟议的核心将提供服务，从而增加人口研究的外部资金。NICHD对CPP的支持对康奈尔大学留住教师和吸引对人口研究感兴趣的有才华的新教师的持续努力至关重要。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Cornell Population Program (CPP), under the administrative leadership of Dr. H. Elizabeth Peters, has 68 affiliates who specialize in population research relating broadly to three core themes: (1) families and children; (2) health behaviors and disparities; and (3) poverty and inequality. Cross-cutting themes include a focus on policy, racial and ethnic diversity, migration and immigration, social and biological mechanisms, and domestic and international research. Affiliates come from 15 different departments or programs at Cornell and represent a broad range of disciplines including demography, economics, government, psychology, sociology, and statistics. The CPP offers a unique opportunity to draw diverse faculty together into a center for population research that supports cross-disciplinary and national and international comparative studies, enhances research funding for these studies, and promotes high quality research, with a readiness to convert academic studies into meaningful policy recommendations. Support for this initiative comes from the highest administrative levels at Cornell. The CPP is currently funded by a seed grant from the Cornell Office of the Vice Provost for the Social Sciences, deans from several colleges, and matching funds and administrative support from the Bronfenbrenner Life Course Center (BLCC), the administrative unit in which the CPP is located. In this application we are applying for funding from the NICHD Population Infrastructure Program - Short- term Support for Rising Programs (SSRP) to support three research cores (administrative, computer, and statistical cores) and a developmental core. Given the quantity and quality of population research at Cornell and its unique data resources (e.g., the Census Research Data Center and the Cross-National Equivalency Files), the CPP is on a rapid upward trajectory in the larger population research community. As described in this application, NICHD funds will support new activities that develop synergies and promote collaborations among population researchers located in different units across campus. The proposed cores will provide services that will lead to increased external funding in population research. NICHD support for the CPP is vital to Cornell's on-going efforts to retain faculty and attract talented new faculty with interests in population research.
