Duke Population Research Center

总体情况：摘要 自2009年首次获得NICHD奖以来的十年里，杜克大学人口研究 中心(DPRC)已成长为一个充满活力的跨学科研究组织， 来自社会和行为科学以及生物、健康和 杜克大学统计科学专业。我们现在有一个人口科学家网络，他们的兴趣是 包括生命过程中的健康和幸福，并延伸到灵长类物种以及 人类，或使用社交网络分析来模拟健康、人类发展和 人口统计结果。DPRC正在建立新的人口科学 以及具有不同学科背景的早期职业学者，他们利用 发展核心的服务，以启动新的、成功的项目。DPRC的影响是 在两个主要研究领域取得最大成就：(1)终身健康的基础；(2) 相互关联的社会系统与人口健康。为了追寻这些问题，我们 促进和促进(A)跟踪儿童时期队列的纵向数据收集 跨越几代人；(B)依靠社交连接的创新数据收集，以招募 稀有和隐藏的种群样本或绘制完整的种群网络；(C)利用 关联的管理数据，这些数据延长、拓宽和深化了生命历程健康的观点 和人类发展进程；以及(D)开发新的工具和方法 “大”人口与健康科学。该申请申请了NICHD的续签资金 人口动态中心研究基础设施(P2C)支持三个核心- 行政、发展和科学。拟议的核心将降低行政成本 在提供工具和技术支持以创造协同效应和效率的同时， 获得和管理外部资金，这将解放并使DPRC学者能够 专注于科学。我们的目标是继续增加外部资金，以发展科学 如果没有刚果民主共和国，就不可能做到这一点，因为它利用：(A) 杜克大学的人口研究人员；(B)我们成功开发下一代 人口科学家；(C)我们独特的数据资源；(D)我们经过证明的严格、高质量的记录 影响科学；(E)我们与当地和国际学术机构以及 区域政府伙伴加快人口研究对政策和政策的影响 社会。

Overall: Summary In the ten years since its first NICHD award in 2009, the Duke University Population Research Center (DPRC) has grown into a vibrant, interdisciplinary research organization bringing together scientists from the social and behavioral sciences and the biological, health, and statistical sciences at Duke. We now have a network of population scientists whose interests encompass health and well-being over the life course and extend to primate species as well as humans, or who use social network analysis to model health, human development, and demographic outcomes. New population science at DPRC is being generated by established and early career scholars with diverse disciplinary backgrounds who have taken advantage of the services of the Development Core to launch new, successful projects. DPRC's impact is greatest in two primary research areas: (1) Foundations of Lifelong Health, and (2) Interconnected Social Systems and Population Health. In pursuit of these questions, we facilitate and promote (a) longitudinal data collections that follow cohorts from childhood and reach across generations; (b) innovative data collection that rely on social connectivity to recruit rare and hidden population samples or to map complete population networks; (c) the utilization of linked administrative data that lengthen, broaden and deepen the view of life course health and human development processes; and (d) the development of new tools and approaches for “big” population and health science. This application requests renewal funding from the NICHD Population Dynamics Centers Research Infrastructure (P2C) to support three cores— administration, development and science. The proposed cores will lower administrative costs while providing tools and technical support to create synergies and efficiencies in seeking, securing and managing external funding that will free up and enable DPRC scholars to concentrate on science. Our goal is to continue to increase external funding to develop science that would not be possible without DPRC, by taking advantage of: (a) the number and quality of population researchers at Duke; (b) our successful record of developing the next generation of population scientists; (c) our unique data resources; (d) our proven track record of rigorous, high impact science; (e) our collaborations with local and international academic institutions and regional government partners to accelerate the impact of population studies on policy and society.
