描述（由申请人提供）：CPC培训计划将社会科学或卫生学科的坚实基础与核心人口学和人口研究方面的正式培训相结合。该计划的特点是其多学科，社会科学和健康科学的整合，以及跨学科和团队导向的许多培训和研究。每年提供12个博士预科和5个博士后培训名额。中国共产党的博士前培训计划将学科学位与人口研究培训相结合。博士预科生满足其所在院系的课程、论文和其他要求。他们还符合中心的要求，包括：由CPC研究员指导的研究实习；至少修毕四门经认可的人口研究生课程；开展伦理科学研究的培训；参加多学科人口讨论会和讲习班；以及出席美国人口协会（PAA）年会。2007-08学年的53名博士预科生分别在学校11个系注册。博士后培训计划是围绕受训者和教员的共同人口研究兴趣而设计的。2007-08年度有16名博士后拥有8个学科的博士学位。博士后学者直接进入中心，并与个别教师导师合作，一般为期两年。方案协调方案对博士前和博士后受训者的支助包括从三个学科的教授那里获得统计咨询、提供内部图书馆的优秀信息服务、绘图和出版协助（例如海报编制、编辑）、最先进的空间分析股、大批经验丰富的计算机工作人员（例如研究规划、网络支助、系统、数据输入）和协助生物医学标本（如需要）。所有学员在中心都有办公空间，并有很多机会与教师和其他学员进行跨学科交流。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The CPC training program combines a firm base in a social science or health discipline with formal training in core demography and research-based training in population. Hallmarks of the program are its multidisciplinary, the integration of the social and health sciences, and the interdisciplinary and team orientation of much of the training and research. Support is requested for 12 predoctoral and 5 postdoctoral traineeships per year. CPC's predoctoral training program combines disciplinary degrees with training in population research. Predoctoral trainees meet the course, dissertation, and other requirements of their home departments. They also meet Center requirements, including: a research practicum supervised by a CPC faculty fellow; completion of at least four approved graduate-level population courses; training in the conduct of ethical scientific research; participation in interdisciplinary population seminars and workshops; and attendance of the annual meeting of the Population Association of America (PAA). The 53 predoctoral trainees during AY 2007-08 are registered in the PhD programs of 11 departments across campus. The postdoctoral training program is designed around the mutual population research interests of trainees and faculty fellows. The 16 postdoctoral scholars during AY 2007-08 hold doctorates in eight disciplines. Postdoctoral scholars are admitted directly to the Center and collaborate with individual faculty preceptors, generally for a period of two years. CPC support to predoctoral and postdoctoral trainees includes statistical consultation from professors in three disciplines, outstanding information services with an in-house library, graphics and publication assistance (e.g., poster preparation, editing), a state-of-the art spatial analysis unit, a large and experienced computer staff (e.g., research programming; web support; systems; data entry) and assistance with biomedical specimens (if needed). All trainees have office space at the Center and with it many opportunities for interdisciplinary exchange with faculty and other trainees. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: The CPC training program combines a firm base in a social science or health discipline with formal training in core demography and research-based training in population. Hallmarks of the program are its multidisciplinary, the integration of the social and health sciences, and the interdisciplinary and team orientation of much of the training and research.
