Cornell Population Center

康奈尔大学人口中心（CPC）要求第二轮NICHD R24基础设施支持其创新的人口研究和培训计划。保护儿童委员会于2008年首次收到R24机制“对新兴方案的短期支助”下的资金。R24基金在促进CPC人口科学家多学科合作人口研究的数量，质量和影响方面发挥了重要作用。 R24资金（1）通过利用部门，学院和大学资源创造了成本效益;（2）吸引了新的和学科多样的人口研究人员，特别是初级教师，整个大学社区;和（3）为建立一个充满活力的知识和物理环境提供了坚实的基础（象征性和财政）管理，进行和传播高质量的人口研究。本申请记录了近期R24基金在当前资助期内的巨大组织和学术影响。如本申请所述，R24资金将用于支持四个签名研究主题，这些主题是DBSB人口使命的核心。这些问题包括：（1）家庭和儿童;（2）卫生人口学;（3）贫穷和不平等;（4）移民和多样性。这些标志性的主题在方案协调会的国内和国际公认的人口学者中相互重叠和相互加强。每个标志性主题的活动得到三个研究核心（行政核心、数据和计算核心以及统计和方案编制核心）、一个发展核心（即，种子赠款、提高技术技能的讲习班等），以及一个新提出的翻译核心，专注于公共政策和公众参与。 本申请列出了67名在职人口科学家。康奈尔大学的人口科学家代表了中国共产党的最大优势。他们是高生产力，专业成就和可见，并面向服务。因为很多加盟商都是刚拿到博士学位的。2000年，中国共产党为“下一代”人口科学家和该领域的领导人提供了一个支持性的环境。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Cornell Population Center (CPC) requests a second round of NICHD R24 Infrastructure Support for its innovative population research and training program. CPC first received monies under the Short-term Support for Rising Programs of the R24 mechanism in 2008. R24 funding has been instrumental in promoting the quantity, quality, and impact of multidisciplinary, collaborative population research among CPC's population scientists. R24 monies have (1) created cost-efficiencies by leveraging departmental, college, and university resources; (2) attracted new and disciplinary-diverse population researchers, especially junior faculty, across the University community; and (3) provided a strong foundation (symbolic and financial) for building a vibrant intellectual and physical environment for administering, conducting, and disseminating high-quality demographic research. This application documents the large organizational and scholarly impact of recent R24 funds over the current funding period. As described in this application, R24 funds will be used to support four signature research themes that are central to DBSB's population mission. These include; (1) family and children; (2) demography of health; (3) poverty and inequality; and (4) immigration and diversity. These signature themes are overlapping and mutually reinforcing among CPC's nationally and internationally recognized population scholars. The activities of each signature theme are supported by three research cores (Administrative Core, Data and Computing Core, and Statistics and Programming Core), a Development Core (i.e., seed grants, workshops to enhance technical skills, etc.), and a newly proposed Translation Core that focuses on public policy and public engagement. This application lists 67 active population scientists. Cornell's population scientists represent CPC's greatest strength. They are highly productive, professionally accomplished and visible, and service oriented. Because many affiliates are recent Ph.D.'s, CPC provides a supportive environment for the "next generation" of population scientists and leaders in the field.
