Infrastructure for Population Research

该处的研究目前有五个标志性主题：(1)健康和福祉，(2)移徙和发展，(3)儿童和家庭，(4)教育和分层，以及(5)数据/方法。核心基础设施计划的每一个要素都将促进OPR研究活动的质量、生产力和创新。研究核心有三个组成部分。行政核心将通过Notestein研讨会系列支持智力互动，并将主要通过帮助拨款准备(包括1RB批准)和管理来支持个人研究助理。计算和统计核心将通过保持计算基础设施的最新水平、提供统计和计量经济学咨询以及增加对数据源的访问(即，为寻求使用其他数据的OPR工作人员以及通过具有允许其他人使用OPR工作人员收集的数据的临时存档功能)，为个别研究人员提供支持。信息核心将通过帮助个人研究人员识别和检索学术出版物和数据来支持他们，并将通过继续在唐纳德·E·斯托克斯图书馆建立和维护世界上最大的人口学图书馆来支持整个人口社区。发展性基础设施核心有两个组成部分。关于OPR签名主题的跨学科讲习班将促进跨学科研究和培养知识界。专业发展讲习班将使OPR的所有研究人员能够发展和加强研究技能。公共基础设施核心有四个组成部分。PAA和LUSSP将使用人口年度会议计划申请来管理他们的专业会议。研究简报系列将把研究成果翻译成政策制定者理解的语言。紧急避孕网站将从医学文献和紧急避孕药具提供者名录中提供有关紧急避孕药具的准确信息。《儿童的未来》杂志将在现有最佳科学研究的基础上，为政策制定者、服务提供商和媒体提供及时、客观的信息，从而促进有效的儿童政策和计划。

Research at OPR is now characterized by five signature themes: (1) health and wellbeing, (2) migration and development, (3) children and families, (4) education and stratification, and (5) data/methods. Each element of the core infrastructure program will advance the quality, productivity, and innovation of OPR's research activities. The Research Core has three components. The Administrative Core will support intellectual interaction through the Notestein Seminar Series and will support individual research associates primarily by helping with grant preparation (including 1RB approval) and management. The Computing and Statistics Core will support individual research associates by keeping the computing infrastructure state-of-the-art, by providing statistical and econometric consulting, and by increasing access to data sources (i.e., both for OPR associates seeking to use other data and by having the temporary archive function that permits others to use data collected by OPR associates). The Information Core will support individual research associates by helping them identify and retrieve scholarly publications and data and will support the entire population community by continuing to build and maintain the Ansley J. Coale Population Research Collection in the Donald E. Stokes Library, the largest demography library in the world. The Developmental Infrastructure Core has two components. Interdisciplinary workshops on OPR signature themes will promote interdisciplinary research and foster intellectual community. Professional development workshops will allow all OPR research associates to develop and strengthen research skills. The Public Infrastructure Core has four components. The Population Annual Meeting Program Application will be used by the PAA and lUSSP to manage their professional meetings. The Research Brief Series will translate research findings in language understood by policymakers. The Emergency Contraception Website will provide accurate information about emergency contraception derived from the medical literature and a directory of providers of emergency contraceptives. The journal Future of Children will promote effective policies and programs for children by providing policymakers, service providers, and the media with timely, objective information based on the best available scientific research.
