INTERDISCIPLINARY RESEARCH ON LIFE COURSE INEQUALITY

描述(来自应用程序)：该项目的总体目标是 加强PU在老龄化和生命历程不平等方面的研究和培训。 虽然大学在研究和教学方面有很长的历史 老年学，它最近才开发了一种制度结构来 支持对教师和研究生的老龄化问题进行跨学科调查。 该项目旨在以最近的体制发展为基础，通过 重点研究生命历程分析，特别是不平等和 在整个生命过程中累积的劣势。 此应用程序旨在增强社交和行为方面的专业知识 沿着两个发育轨迹衰老。第一个是提供研究 社会和行为科学教师的发展机会。 第二个重点是研究生教育。该项目旨在加强 老年学中的跨学科倡议与专业人员和 研究生的方法论训练。 该项目的具体目标包括：(1)促进对生活的研究 PU教师和研究生课程不平等；(2)提高研究生 进一步整合理论与方法开展社会老年学教育 用于生命历程的研究；(3)为教职员工提供机会 参加关于生命历程的跨学科研究计划 不平等；以及(4)有助于科学地理解 整个生命过程中不平等的前因后果。 实现研究和培训举措的具体机制包括 ：形成研究集群、试点资助计划、科学咨询 董事会审查，研讨会系列，参加暑期强化课程， 招收少数族裔学生和跨学科教育机会 对研究生来说。该计划的成功与否将通过以下方面来衡量 多个绩效指标，如审阅的期刊文章、校外 研究经费、课程开发、跨学科博士 委员会，以及研究生的安置。

DESCRIPTION (from application): The overall aim of this project is to strengthen PU research and training on aging and life course inequality. While the University has a long history of research and instruction in gerontology, it has only recently developed an institutional structure to support interdisciplinary inquiry on aging for faculty and graduate students. This project is designed to build upon the recent institutional development by focusing research on life course analysis, especially inequality and cumulative disadvantage across the life course. This application is designed to enhance social and behavioral expertise on aging along two developmental loci. The first is to provide research development opportunities for faculty in the social and behavioral sciences. The second focus is graduate education. The project seeks to strengthen interdisciplinary initiatives in gerontology related to the professional and methodological training of graduate students. Specific aims of this project include: (1) To stimulate research on life course inequality by PU faculty and graduate students; (2) to enhance graduate education in social gerontology by further integrating theories and methods for the study of the life course; (3) to provide opportunities for faculty to participate in an interdisciplinary research program on life course inequality; and (4) to contribute to the scientific understanding of the antecedents and consequences of inequality across the life course. Specific mechanisms to achieve the research and training initiatives include the: formation of research clusters, pilot grant program, scientific advisory board review, symposium series, participation in summer intensive courses, minority student recruitment, and interdisciplinary educational opportunities for graduate students. The success of the program will be measured by multiple performance indicators such as refereed journal articles, extramural research funding, curriculum development, interdisciplinary doctoral committees, and placement of graduate students.
