The Population Research Institute

项目概要：人口研究所 人口研究所在宾夕法尼亚州立大学（PRI）是一个充满活力的，跨学科的 中心提供战略资源，以支持创新，高影响力的人口动态研究。PRI的 总体目标是促进对人类人口动态和过程的科学认识， 专注于PRI的主要研究领域。首先，通过对社区、邻里和空间的研究， PRI有助于我们理解人类在社区中的人口分布 和社区，带来这些空间格局的社会过程，以及它们对人类社会的影响。 个人、家庭和儿童的健康和福祉。第二，PRI奖学金增加了对 移徙和移民融合对健康和健康差距的因果关系 生命历程和世代。第三，PRI的研究人员解决了家庭和社交网络是如何进行批判性调解的 更广泛的社会变革和社会机构，并助长了观察到的男女之间的差距， 边缘化群体。研究评估了阻碍家庭实现自我保护的结构性和社会障碍， 支持儿童的健康和福祉。第四，PRI支持人口健康研究，重点是 孕产妇、儿童和青少年发病率的社会决定因素以及 生物因素和外部环境对以后的发展和健康的影响。PRI在以下方面具有历史优势 这些领域，并受益于其在宾夕法尼亚州立大学的制度环境， 鼓励通过慷慨的财政和基础设施进行跨学科的人口研究 支持.通过创新和投资，PRI计划在其所有业务部门进行整合和交叉协作。 未来五年的主要研究领域。PRI将通过其额外的具体目标来实现这一目标。第一、 PRI旨在培养人口科学领域的新领导者，特别是年轻一代的新兴领导者。 学者作为人口研究的孵化器，PRI的发展核心有着成功的记录， 为初级学者提供额外的指导和支持，并提供旨在建立 竞争力，同行审查的外部资金和人口科学的影响力增加。第二，PRI 旨在培养新的方法和途径，为实现这一目标做出重要和前沿的贡献。 人口研究通过其计算和空间分析的核心。第三，革命制度党的行政核心目标 提高研究生产力和合作，减少与研究相关的障碍和负担。 研究管理，并扩大人口科学的范围。

Project Summary: Population Research Institute The Population Research Institute at the Pennsylvania State University (PRI) is a vibrant, interdisciplinary center providing strategic resources to support innovative, high impact population dynamics research. PRI’s overarching aim is to advance the scientific understanding of human population dynamics and processes, with a focus on PRI’s primary research areas. First, through research on communities, neighborhoods and spatial processes, PRI is contributing to our understanding of human population distribution across neighborhoods and communities, the social processes that bring about these spatial patterns, and their consequences for the health and wellbeing of individuals, families and children. Second, PRI scholarship increases knowledge of the causes and consequences of migration and immigrant integration for health and health disparities across the life course and generations. Third, PRI researchers address how families and social networks critically mediate broader social change and social institutions and contribute to observed disparities between advantaged and marginalized groups. Research assesses the structural and social barriers that prevent families from supporting children’s health and well-being. Fourth, PRI supports research in population health with a focus on the social determinants of maternal, child and adolescent morbidity and the important interactions between biological factors and external environments on later development and health. PRI has historical strengths in these areas and benefits from its institutional environment at the Pennsylvania State University that encourages interdisciplinary population research excellence through generous financial and infrastructure support. Through innovation and investment, PRI plans for integration and cross-collaboration across its primary research areas in the next five years. PRI will accomplish this through its additional specific aims. First, PRI aims to develop new leaders in population science, particularly the emerging leaders among junior scholars. With a successful track record as an incubator of population research, PRI’s Development core will provide additional mentoring and support for junior scholars and new opportunities designed to build competitiveness for peer-reviewed external funding and increased impact of population science. Second, PRI aims to foster novel approaches and methods that will make important and cutting-edge contributions to population research through its Computational and Spatial Analysis core. Third, PRI’s Administrative core aims to increase research productivity and collaboration, reducing the barriers and burdens associated with research administration, and increasing the reach of population science.
