POPULATION STRUCTURE/HEALTH/BIOLOGY OVER THE LIFE COURSE

(申请人S摘要)：本申请为南洋理工大学人口与老龄化博士后培训项目的延续项目，为期五年。该计划基于25名培训教师的专业知识，他们来自人类学、生物行为健康、卫生政策和行政、人类发展和家庭研究、农村社会学和社会学以及妇女研究计划。随着培训人员的增加，培训主题已扩大到：(1)老龄化、家庭和生命历程，(2)老龄化与健康，(3)正式的老龄化人口统计学，以及(4)老龄化的生物人口统计学。培训方案设在革命制度研究所，并利用了广泛的可用资源。整个培训人员都是PRI Associates，并在一个或多个培训主题上有一个积极的研究计划。校园里开设了许多关于人口和老龄化主题以及最先进的方法工具的课程、研讨会和研讨会，创造了丰富的知识环境。认识到合格受训人员有限，该方案只要求两个博士后职位，而不是目前的四个，并设想在五年项目期内任命五个新的职位。拟议的培训强调三个相辅相成的要素：(1)通过专门的高级课程、研讨会和讲习班增强方法技能；(2)通过对正在进行的教员项目进行合作研究和指导新项目的开发来增长研究技能；(3)通过研讨会演讲、参加专业会议、提交和发表研究论文以及准备研究申请以通过受训人员的下一个机构提交来实现专业化。该计划在有效招募、培训和安置受训者方面有着长达十年的强劲记录。

DESCRIPTION (applicant s abstract): This application is for a five-year continuation of the postdoctoral training program in population and aging at PSU. The program is based on the expertise of 25 members of the training faculty, drawn from the Departments of Anthropology, Biobehavioral Health, Health Policy and Administration, Human Development and Family Studies, Rural Sociology, and Sociology, and from the Women's Studies Program. With an increase in training faculty, the training themes have been broadened to: (1) aging, family, and the life course, (2) aging and health, (3) the formal demography of aging, and (4) the biodemography of aging. The training program is housed in the PRI, and makes use of the extensive resources available. The entire training faculty are PRI Associates, and have an active program of research in one or more of the training themes. Numerous courses, workshops, and seminars on topics in population and aging and on state-of-the-art methodological tools are offered on campus, creating a rich intellectual environment. In recognition of the limited availability of qualified trainees, the program requests only two postdoctoral positions instead of the current four, and envisages five new appointments over the five-year project period. The proposed training emphasizes three complementary elements: (1) enhancement of methodological skills through specialized advanced courses, seminars, and workshops; (2) growth in research skills through collaborative research in ongoing faculty projects and the mentored development of new projects, and (3) professionalization through seminar presentations, participation in professional meetings, the submission and publication of research papers, and the preparation of a research application for submission through the trainee's next institution. The program has a strong, decade long record of effective recruitment, training, and placement of trainees.
