俄亥俄州州立大学根据NICHD R24人口研究基础设施申请5年资助 使人口研究倡议能够继续非常成功地支持 人口研究。自2004年7月获得R21奖以来，投资政策审查在2004年取得了长足的发展。 许多教师附属机构，他们的学科多样性，以及他们的研究生产力，使知识产权成为一个遥远的 比五年前更强大的研究中心。重要大学加速了知识产权的增长 在人口研究方面的投资总额近500万美元，用于雇用教师，翻新知识产权的新空间， 和种子资金支持根据R24奖，知识产权研究人员将在7个国家开展研究计划。 专题领域：1）工会的成立和解散; 2）生育率; 3）青少年的过渡; 4）儿童健康和 发展; 5）成人健康差距; 6）移民/移徙;和7）居住隔离。在每个 在这些领域中，知识产权研究人员富有成效和创新精神，他们的工作得到了大量的支持， 来自NICHD、其他NIH研究所、NSF、基金会、俄亥俄州和其他 资金来源。许多研究项目是知识产权之间的跨学科合作 研究人员分布在俄勒冈州立大学的6个学院和14个系，这是知识产权局故意 通过种子赠款、工作组和研讨会的计划来培养。R24基础设施 该计划将包括三个研究支持核心-1）管理，2）统计和调查方法， 和3）地理分析-和4）发展核心。每个核心都经过精心设计， 知识产权研究人员为推进其人口计划所需的基本支持和服务 研究，不能由他们的家庭部门提供。此基础架构的主要功能是 精益管理核心，一个强大的开发核心，以及两个融合了高度进步的技术核心 技术服务与战略教学活动。行为与健康之间的新兴合作 科学家一直是R21奖下的一个显着的发展， R24旨在加强俄亥俄州人口研究的跨学科模式。

The Ohio State University requests a 5-year grant under the NICHD R24 Population Research Infrastructure Program to enable the Initiative in Population Research [IPR] to continue its highly successful support of population research. Since receiving an R21 award in July 2004, the IPR has grown substantially in the number of faculty affiliates, their disciplinary diversity, and their research productivity, making IPR a far stronger research center than 5 years ago. The growth of IPR has been accelerated by significant university investment in population research totaling nearly $5 million in faculty hires, renovation of new space for IPR, and seed grant support. Under the R24 award, IPR researchers will conduct a program of research in 7 thematic areas: 1) Union formation and dissolution; 2) Fertility; 3) Adolescent transitions; 4) Child health and development; 5) Adult health disparities; 6) Immigration/migration; and 7) Residential segregation. In each of these areas, IPR researchers are productive and innovative, and their work is supported by a substantial portfolio of research awards from NICHD, other NIH institutes, NSF, foundations, the state of Ohio, and other sources of funding. Many of the research projects are interdisciplinary collaborations among IPR researchers spread among 6 colleges and 14 departments at OSU, an outcome that IPR has deliberately fostered through a program of seed grants, working groups, and seminars. The proposed R24 infrastructure program will consist of three research support cores -1) Administration, 2) Statistics and Survey Methods, and 3) Geographic Analysis - and a 4) Developmental Core. Each core is carefully designed to provide the essential support and services that IPR researchers require to advance their programs of population research and that cannot be provided by their home departments. Key features of this infrastructure are a lean Administrative Core, a robust Development Core, and 2 technical cores that blend highly progressive technical services with strategic didactic activities. Emerging collaborations between behavioral and health scientists has been a notable development under the R21 award, and the program of activities under the R24 is designed to reinforce this trans-disciplinary mode of population research at Ohio State.
