DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application requests five years of support for the Center of Demography and Ecology, University of Wisconsin-Madison. CDE is a high-profile research center in population with affiliates in 11 departments and 4 colleges. It has held NICHD Center Grant funding since 1972; this application requests continuation of that support under NICHD's Population Research Infrastructure Program (R24). Support is requested for four research support cores - Administration, Computing, Information Services and Methodology- and for Developmental Infrastructure. The Population Center Grant would support a collection of scholars whose research spans the field of population studies. During the past five years, CDE has aggressively recruited top young scientists, strengthened ties and developed new forms of cooperation with departments, research centers and institutes in fields cognate to population studies. Our research portfolio has become more diverse, is more international in character, and covers a greater portion of the life course than in the past. CDE researchers work in a broad spectrum of topics, but four clusters constitute our signature themes: (1) Health and Mortality; (2) the Demography of Inequality; (3) Fertility, Families, and Households; and (4) Data and Methodology. In addition to innovative research in each of these areas; CDE researchers continue to collect and produce high-quality data for the use by the population research community. Continued investment in CDE will leverage substantial commitments from the University, a large portfolio of individual research grants, and outstanding human and organizational resources to promote interdisciplinary research on population issues. RELEVANCE: Changes in childbearing, the gradual increase in life expectancy and the global mobility of people create an unending stream of questions that population research may address. Demographic behavior and outcomes affect social organization, health services and economic growth. CDE will help to address these challenges as an innovative and flexible provider of research collaboration, training, and infrastructure.

描述（由申请人提供）：本申请要求为威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校人口与生态中心提供五年的支持。CDE是一个备受瞩目的人口研究中心，在11个部门和4个学院设有分支机构。自1972年以来，它一直持有NICHD中心赠款资金;本申请要求继续根据NICHD的人口研究基础设施计划（R24）提供支持。需要为四个研究支助核心-行政、计算、信息服务和方法-以及发展基础设施提供支助。人口中心赠款将支持一批学者，他们的研究跨越人口研究领域。在过去的五年中，CDE积极招募顶尖的年轻科学家，加强联系，并与人口研究领域的部门，研究中心和研究所开发新的合作形式。我们的研究组合变得更加多样化，更具国际性，并且比过去涵盖了更大的生命历程。CDE研究人员的工作范围很广，但有四个集群构成了我们的标志性主题：（1）健康和死亡率;（2）不平等的人口统计学;（3）生育率，家庭和家庭;（4）数据和方法。除了这些领域的创新研究外，CDE研究人员还继续收集和制作高质量的数据，供人口研究界使用。对CDE的持续投资将利用大学的大量承诺，个人研究赠款的大量投资组合以及优秀的人力和组织资源，以促进人口问题的跨学科研究。 相关性：生育方面的变化、预期寿命的逐渐延长以及人口的全球流动，产生了人口研究可能要解决的一系列问题。人口行为和结果影响社会组织、卫生服务和经济增长。CDE将作为创新和灵活的研究合作、培训和基础设施提供者，帮助应对这些挑战。
