Center on Population, Gender, and Social Inequality

描述(由申请者提供)：人口、性别和社会不平等中心(“中心”)汇集了各学科的顶尖学者，以支持、产生和促进具有最高科学价值的人口相关研究。该中心的研究集中在四个关键领域：(1)社会和经济不平等，(2)性别、工作、家庭和生育率，(3)健康和残疾的生命过程分析，(4)人口研究的数据发展。该中心努力培养年轻学者，并鼓励来自相关领域的学者通过研究支持、培训和指导从事与人口有关的研究。该中心靠近联邦统计机构，使学者能够访问未得到充分利用或受限使用的政府数据进行研究。这一大学与政府的合作伙伴关系使中心的教职员工能够进行创新的学术研究，同时为改进联邦统计机构的数据收集工作做出贡献。该中心靠近华盛顿特区，这也使该中心的教职员工能够就与人口有关的问题向政策制定者提供无党派的科学证据。 我们寻求促进跨学科研究合作和参与ENTER的人口研究。NICHD的基础设施支持将加强马里兰大学对该中心行政和计算核心的支持。我们还要求提供发展基础设施资金，以支持一系列跨学科研讨会和一项小型“种子”资助计划，该计划将加强教师和研究生的研究，并吸引新的学者。此外，我们寻求资金，以正式确定与人口普查局经济研究中心(CES)的关系，并将我们的关系扩展到其他机构。与统计机构的这些伙伴关系不仅加强了该中心的创新人口研究，而且还提高了更大的人口研究界的数据质量和数量。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Center on Population, Gender, and Social Inequality ("the Center") draws together leading scholars from disciplines to support, produce and promote population-related research of the highest scientific merit. The Center's research focuses on four key areas: (1) social and economic inequality, 2) gender, work, family, and fertility,(3) life course analyses of health and disability (4) data development for population research. The Center strives to develop young scholars and to encourage scholars from allied fields to engage in population-related research through research support, training and mentoring. The Center's proximity to Federal statistical agencies allows scholars access to under-utilized or restricted-use government data for their research. This university-government partnership allows Center faculty members to conduct innovative academic research while contributing to the improvement of data collection at the federal statistical agencies. The Center's proximity to Washington D.C. also strongly positions the Center's faculty to provide non-partisan, scientific evidence on population-related issues to policy makers. We seek to facilitate interdisciplinary research collaboration and involvement in population research at enter. NICHD infrastructure support will enhance University of Maryland support for administrative and computing cores of the Center. We also request developmental infrastructure funding to support an interdisciplinary seminar series and a small "seed" grant program that will enhance the research of both faculty and graduate students as well as attract new scholars. In addition, we seek funds to formalize relationship with the Center for Economic Studies (CES) at the Census Bureau and to extend our relationship to other agencies. These partnerships with statistical agencies not only enhance innovative population research in the Center, but also improve the quality and quantity of data for the larger population research community.
