CAREER AWARD PROGRAM IN DEMOGRAPHY OF AGING

首席研究员和三位共同研究员都是加州大学伯克利分校人口学系的成员。他们试图通过雇用和指导处于职业生涯早期或中期形成阶段的研究人员来增加老龄化人口统计领域的顶尖科学家的数量。其中一名候选人可能是早期博士后学者，另一名候选人可能来自后期初级教师候选人；在此制定的计划大致建议对其中一个进行指导。该提案依赖于伯克利大学在人口老龄化领域的四个主要优势：这四位研究者在教学、研究、指导和公共服务方面都有丰富的经验。该部门的四名研究人员获得了相当大的认可，其中大部分是由于在老龄化人口统计方面的工作，包括国家科学院的成员，美国艺术与科学院的研究员，美国人口协会的艾琳·托伯奖的现任获得者，明德尔·谢普斯奖，国家人口研究委员会前任主席（2名）和现任国际人口科学研究联盟理事会成员（1名）。一个跨学科的社会科学研究小组，对人口老龄化的广泛领域有积极的研究兴趣。nia资助的老龄化经济学和人口统计中心（CEDA）是其成员研究人员的焦点，这些研究人员来自工商管理、人口统计、昆虫学、卫生经济学、法律和公共政策等领域。3. 在老年医学学术中心周围聚集了更多的生物科学领域和公共卫生与社会福利专业学院的老龄研究人员。该中心的新任主任也是CEDA的副主席和NIA K-07学术生涯领导奖的获得者，负责协调伯克利地区所有与老龄化相关的活动。4. 有机会在导师的指导下工作，导师目前的研究兴趣在以下四个领域之一：老龄化生物人口统计学；代际转移分析；关于极端年龄死亡率的跨国研究；在进化人类学的基础上发展对衰老的看法。

The Principal Investigator and three co-investigators are all members of the Department of Demography at the University of California at Berkeley. They seek to increase the number of leading scientists in the demography of aging by hiring and mentoring researchers at early or middle formative stages in their careers. It is likely that one of the candidates will be an early post-doctoral scholar and that the other will be from among late junior faculty candidates; the Program as formulated here broadly proposes to mentor one of each. The proposal relies on four of Berkeley's major strengths in the field of population aging: 1. The four investigators have substantial experience in teaching, research, mentoring, and public service. The four investigators from that department have received substantial recognition, much of it for work in the demography of aging, including membership in the National Academy of Sciences (3), fellows of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences (2), the current winner of the Irene Taeuber Award from the Population Association of America, the Mindel Sheps Award (2), past chairs of the National Research Council Committee on Population (2) and membership on the current Council of the International Union for the Scientific Study of Population (1). 2. An interdisciplinary group of social science researchers with active research interests in the broad field of population aging. An NIA-funded Center on the Economics and Demography of Aging (CEDA) serves as the focal point for its member researchers, who come from such fields as business administration, demography, entomology, health economics, law, and public policy. 3. A wider group of researchers on aging in the biological sciences and in the professional schools of public health and social welfare, clustered around the Academic Geriatric Center on Aging. The in-coming Director of this Center is also Vice-Chair of CEDA and recipient of an NIA K-07 Academic Career Leadership Award to coordinate all aging-related activities in the Berkeley region. 4. The opportunity to work under mentors whose current research interests lie in one of four fields: biodemography of aging; analysis of intergenerational transfers; cross-national research on mortality at extreme ages; developing perspectives on aging grounded in evolutionary anthropology.
