Population Research Training

摘要 位于查佩尔山的北卡罗莱纳大学的卡罗莱纳人口中心（CPC）要求 国家排雷中心继续五年支持其人口学和社会及卫生培训方案， 以理工科为重CPC培训计划将社会科学或健康学科的坚实基础与正式的 核心人口学培训和基于研究的人口培训。该计划的特点是其 多学科，社会和健康科学的整合，以及跨学科和团队 大部分培训和研究的方向。要求继续支持10名博士预科生和4名 每年的博士后培训。 65名卡罗莱纳人口中心的研究员，在16个UNC-CH中担任主要职务 部门，为跨学科研究提供了一个异常丰富的环境， 潜在的导师此外，中心为学员和教职员工提供的研究支持服务， 非常出色。 CPC的博士前培训计划将学科学位与人口研究培训相结合。 博士预科生符合课程，论文，和他们的家庭部门的其他要求。他们 也符合中心的要求，包括：由CPC教员研究员监督的研究实习; 完成至少四门经核准的研究生一级人口和以人口为重点的方法课程; 培训负责任地进行研究;参加跨学科人口研讨会， 讲习班;以及出席美洲人口协会年会。的42 在AY 2012 - 13博士前学员注册在10个部门的博士课程在校园。 博士后培训计划是围绕学员的共同人口研究兴趣而设计的， 教职员工。2012 - 13学年的12名博士后学者拥有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。方案协调会对博士前和博士后受训人员的支助包括统计 来自三个学科的教授的咨询，优秀的信息服务与内部图书馆， 图形和出版物辅助（例如，海报制作、编辑）、最先进的空间分析股、 大量且有经验的计算机人员（例如，研究规划;网络支持;系统;数据输入）和 提供生物医学样本（如需要）。所有学员都在中心有办公空间， 与教师和其他学员进行跨学科交流的机会。

ABSTRACT The Carolina Population Center (CPC) at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC-CH) requests a five-year continuation of NICHD support for its training program in demography and the social and health sciences. 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 multidisciplinarity, the integration of the social and health sciences, and the interdisciplinary and team orientation of much of the training and research. Continued support is requested for 10 predoctoral and 4 postdoctoral traineeships per year. Sixty-five faculty fellows of the Carolina Population Center, holding primary appointments in 16 UNC-CH departments, provide an unusually rich environment for interdisciplinary research as training faculty and potential preceptors. In addition, Center research support services for trainees and faculty are truly outstanding. 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 and population-focused methods courses; training in the responsible conduct of research; participation in interdisciplinary population seminars and workshops; and attendance at the annual meeting of the Population Association of America (PAA). The 42 predoctoral trainees during AY 2012-13 are registered in the PhD programs of 10 departments across campus. The postdoctoral training program is designed around the mutual population research interests of trainees and faculty fellows. The 12 postdoctoral scholars during AY 2012-13 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.
