CORE--PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT

生物人口学和人口健康中心的项目发展核心(PDC)有四个主要目标：1)提供试点资金，支持侧重于人口健康相关问题的创新、跨学科研究；2)支持对人口健康感兴趣的有前途的初级教员，并促进他们作为跨学科研究人员的职业发展；3)促进任命新的高级研究员到CBPH 在相关领域拥有强大的研究议程；4)协调中心研究资源的使用，以最佳方式支持和鼓励来自南加州大学和加州大学洛杉矶分校的感兴趣的研究人员之间的协作、跨学科研究努力，因为这样的研究“团队”是由行政核心通过方案外联来确定的。PDC的总体目标是监督和协调中心的研究资源，以便以最佳方式促进 就与人口健康有关的问题产生研究证据，这些证据可用于支持一系列新研究项目的赠款申请以及出版出版物。为了实现这些目标，PDC将与行政和研究支助核心(ARC)合作，征集和指导方案项目，招募和吸收相关的事实研究人员，提供一般数据分析支持，提供和准备数据，提供适当的研究环境和统计专业知识。

The Program Development Core (PDC) of the Center for Biodemography and Population Health has four primary aims: 1) to provide pilot funds to support innovative, interdisciplinary research focusing on questions related to population health; 2) to support promising junior faculty with interests in population health and foster their career development as interdisciplinary researchers; 3) to promote the appointment of new senior investigators to the CBPH with strong research agendas in a relevant area; 4) to coordinate use of Center research resources to optimally support and encourage collaborative, interdisciplinary research efforts among interested investigators from USC and UCLA, as such research "teams" are identified through programmatic outreach by the Administrative Core. The overarching goal of the PDC is to provide oversight and coordination of Center research resources so as to optimally facilitate the generation of research evidence on issues relating to population health that can be used to support a range of grant applications for new research projects as well as leading to publications. To achieve these aims, the PDC will work with the Administrative and Research Support Core (ARC) to solicit and guide program projects, recruit and involve relevant factdty researchers, provide general data analysis support, provide and prepare data, provide appropriate research settings, and statistical expertise.
