Population Research Training

描述（由申请人提供）：北卡罗来纳大学教堂山分校（UNC-CH）的卡罗莱纳人口中心（CPC）要求联合国人口与发展中心为其人口、社会和健康科学培训方案提供为期五年的支持。CPC培训方案将社会科学或卫生学科的坚实基础与核心人口学的正式培训和人口研究培训相结合。该计划的特点是其多学科性，社会科学和健康科学的整合，以及许多培训和研究的跨学科和团队导向。要求每年继续支持10个博士预科和4个博士后培训名额。卡罗莱纳人口中心的65名教员，在16个UNC-CH部门担任主要职务，为跨学科研究提供了一个异常丰富的环境，作为培训教员和潜在的导师。此外，中心对学员和教师的研究支持服务也非常出色。中国共产党的博士前培训计划将学科学位与人口研究培训相结合。博士预科生满足其所在院系的课程、论文和其他要求。他们还符合中心的要求，包括：由CPC研究员指导的研究实习；完成至少四门经核准的研究生水平的人口和以人口为重点的方法课程；培训负责任的研究行为；参加多学科人口讨论会和讲习班；以及出席美国人口协会（PAA）的年度会议。2012-13学年博士预科生42人，在校10个院系博士专业注册。博士后培训计划是围绕受训者和教员的共同人口研究兴趣而设计的。2012-13年度12名博士后在8个学科拥有博士学位。博士后学者直接进入中心，并与个别教师导师合作，一般为期两年。方案协调中心对博士前和博士后受训者的支助包括：向三个学科的教授提供统计咨询、提供内部图书馆的优秀信息服务、绘图和出版协助（如海报制作、编辑）、最先进的空间分析单位、大批经验丰富的计算机工作人员（如研究规划、网络支助、系统、数据输入）和协助生物医学标本（如需要）。所有学员在中心都有办公空间，并有很多机会与教师和其他学员进行跨学科交流。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Carolina Population Center (CPC) at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC-CH) requests a five-year continuation of NICHD support for its training program in demography and the social and health sciences. The CPC training program combines a firm base in a social science or health discipline with formal training in core demography and research-based training in population. Hallmarks of the program are its multidisciplinarity, the integration of the social and health sciences, and the interdisciplinary and team orientation of much of the training and research. Continued support is requested for 10 predoctoral and 4 postdoctoral traineeships per year. Sixty-five faculty fellows of the Carolina Population Center, holding primary appointments in 16 UNC-CH departments, provide an unusually rich environment for interdisciplinary research as training faculty and potential preceptors. In addition, Center research support services for trainees and faculty are truly outstanding. CPC's predoctoral training program combines disciplinary degrees with training in population research. Predoctoral trainees meet the course, dissertation, and other requirements of their home departments. They also meet Center requirements, including: a research practicum supervised by a CPC faculty fellow; completion of at least four approved graduate-level population and population-focused methods courses; training in the responsible conduct of research; participation in interdisciplinary population seminars and workshops; and attendance at the annual meeting of the Population Association of America (PAA). The 42 predoctoral trainees during AY 2012-13 are registered in the PhD programs of 10 departments across campus. The postdoctoral training program is designed around the mutual population research interests of trainees and faculty fellows. The 12 postdoctoral scholars during AY 2012-13 hold doctorates in eight disciplines. Postdoctoral scholars are admitted directly to the Center and collaborate with individual faculty preceptors, generally for a period of two years. CPC support to predoctoral and postdoctoral trainees includes statistical consultation from professors in three disciplines, outstanding information services with an in-house library, graphics and publication assistance (e.g., poster preparation, editing), a state-of-the art spatial analysis uni, a large and experienced computer staff (e.g., research programming; web support; systems; data entry) and assistance with biomedical specimens (if needed). All trainees have office space at the Center and with it many opportunities for interdisciplinary exchange with faculty and other trainees.
