Population Science Research Center Computing, Information Technology, and Information Dissemination Core

CITID核心结合了计算、信息技术和信息服务， 和成本效益高的基础设施，促进创新的人口研究，提高获得信息的机会， 并扩大PSC研究人员发现的传播。核心的两个分支是计算， 信息服务它们被纳入一个共同的核心，是因为认识到， 20世纪的信息传递和处理技术-计算机硬件与书籍， 期刊-忽略了内容的共性;传统的图书馆环境现在是基于互联网的 环境;相反，基于计算机的信息处理越来越多地与 静态机器环境。虽然我们继续维护人口统计库，并安装和修复 计算机、信息访问、处理和传播现在在PSC内紧密耦合。的 CITID核心是重要的，因为它：提供必要的关键物质和人力资本资源， 人口研究和传播;支持稳定和安全的计算机环境;便利查阅 通过提供量身定制的研究援助，帮助纳入新技术 在PSC研究人员中;改善个人和集体项目的研究结果的传播;并使 通过提供虚拟资源和基础设施以及高科技， 会议空间。CITID核心的创新之处在于， 提供了一个灵活的环境，具有高度的协作和交叉喂养，有利于培训， 测试和实施新的计算和传播技术。与SAS的集成允许 PSC为个别项目提供高端服务的同时，它提供了一个增强的 为PSC研究人员提供基础设施。持续和动态地采用新技术 大大提高了PSC研究人员开展国际研究的能力。在下一个赠款周期 CITID的主要目标是：（a）开发和维护最先进的计算机。 在方案支助委员会内促进与人口有关的研究的基础设施， （B）提供援助 用于数据库开发、数据管理和存档，并支持高级定量分析; (c)传播方案支助委员会研究员收集的研究成果和数据; 国际研究以及与外国调查人员和机构的合作;（e）提供以下方面的培训 利用CITID资源，包括与参考和研究有关的援助; 人口研究与互联网有关的发展，包括网页设计和维护， （g）管理人口资料图书馆;（h）提供 支持行政和发展核心的技术和信息需求。

The CITID core combines computing, information technologies, and information services to provide a flexible and cost-effective infrastructure that facilitates innovative population research, enhances access to information, and expands dissemination of the findings of PSC researchers. The two arms of the core are computing and information services. Their integration in a common core is the result of recognizing that distinctions based on 20th-century technologies for delivering and processing information—computer hardware vs. books and Journals - ignores commonalities in content; that the traditional library environment is now an internet-based environment; and that, conversely, computer-based treatment of information is increasingly decoupled from static machine environments. Although we continue to maintain a Demography Library, and to install and fix computers, information access, processing, and dissemination are now tightly coupled within the PSC. The CITID Core is significant because it: provides critical physical and human capital resources necessary for population research and dissemination; supports a stable and secure computer environment; facilitates access to information by providing tailored research assistance; assists in the incorporation of new technologies among PSC researchers; improves dissemination of findings for individual and collective projects; and enables international and collaborative research by providing virtual resources and infrastructure as well as high-tech space for meetings. The CITID core is innovative in that the coupling of computing and information services provides a flexible environment with a high degree of collaboration and cross-feeding that facilitates training, testing, and implementation of new computing and dissemination technologies. Integration with SAS allows the PSC to provide high-end services to individual projects at the same time that it provides an enhanced infrastructure available to PSC researchers. The continued and dynamic incorporation of new technologies greatly enhances the ability of PSC researchers to conduct international research. Over the next grant cycle the main objectives of the CITID are: (a) Development and maintenance of a state-of-the-art computing . infrastructure to promote population-related research within the PSC, with an emphasis on meeting the various and evolving needs and skills of R24 program scientists and their research teams; (b) Provision of assistance for database development, data management and archiving, and support for advanced quantitative analysis; (c) Dissemination of research results and data collected by PSC researcher associates; (d) Support for international research and collaboration with foreign investigators and institutions; (e) Provision of training in the use of CITID resources, including reference- and research-related assistance; (f) Incorporation into population research of internet related developments, including web-page design and maintenance, file sharing, and new forms of communication; (g) Administration of the Demography Library; and (h) Provision of support for the technological and informational needs of the Administrative and Development Cores.
