Center for Family and Demographic Research

 描述（由申请人提供）：保龄球绿色州立大学（BGSU）的家庭和人口研究中心（CFDR）寻求人口动态中心研究基础设施计划（P2C）的五年更新资金。我们要求支持研究基础设施，这将建立在我们的势头，继续产生家庭和儿童，青少年和成人的健康和发展的前沿研究;塑造国家研究议程;为从事人口科学研究的分支机构提供有效的支持;指导初级教师和早期研究人员;并利用强大的机构支持和承诺。我们目前支持作为一个专门的研究中心，重点是家庭人口统计学，并寻求扩大我们的范围超出了对专业中心的限制，通过扩展超出一个研究主题，要求支持以上的资金上限，并增加一个公共核心。我们是一个相对较小的中心（42个分支机构），支持水平适中，但CFDR的研究对人口科学产生了重大影响。自2000年成立以来，CFDR为超越传统学科和方法约束的创新研究奠定了基础。CFDR的研究是人口动态分支科学使命的核心。CFDR附属机构的研究屡获殊荣，发表在顶级期刊上，并被大量引用。我们成功的标志和未来生产力的指标是一个扩大的赠款组合与新的研究团队。CFDR的基础设施产生了出色的回报，巩固了我们在人口统计学上的突出地位。NIH继续支持CFDR的主要预期好处是非常明确的：高质量的跨学科和混合方法研究传统的进步，重点是家庭人口统计学，生育和生殖健康，以及社会背景和福祉。几个重点贯穿这些主题，如生命历程阶段，队列变化和时期的影响，亚组变化和测量。我们追求以下四个目标在当前的应用程序：1）进一步提高科学的影响，创新和生产力的CFDR; 2）确保CFDR附属竞争力的外部资金; 3）支持CFDR附属机构的发展，重点是初级教师;和4）通过提供新的数据和研究工具，为更广泛的社区，支持人口科学。我们通过支持四个相互补充的高效核心来实现这些目标：管理、计算和数据、开发和公共。CFDR已经在发挥国家领导作用，我们的愿景是继续营造创新和合作的环境，对人口学前沿问题进行高影响力的研究，包括关于同性伴侣的新工作、生殖健康的家庭轨迹以及刑事司法系统在家庭中的作用。 和幸福为了进一步实现这一愿景，CFDR的长期计划包括扩大我们在塑造国家研究议程方面的作用，并率先开展新的人口数据收集工作。

 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Center for Family and Demographic Research (CFDR) at Bowling Green State University (BGSU) seeks five years of renewed funding from the Population Dynamics Centers Research Infrastructure program (P2C). We request support for research infrastructure that will build on our momentum by continuing to generate cutting-edge research on families and the health and development of children, adolescents, and adults; shape the national research agenda; provide efficient support to affiliates engaged in population science research; mentor junior faculty and early stage investigators; and leverage strong institutional support and commitments. We are currently supported as a Specialized Research Center with an emphasis in family demography and seek to broaden our scope beyond the limits set on specialized centers by expanding beyond one research theme, requesting support above the funding cap, and adding a Public Core. We are a relatively small center (42 affiliates) with a modest level of support, but CFDR research has had a major impact on population science. Since its inception in 2000, the CFDR has laid the groundwork for innovative research that moves beyond traditional discipline- and method-bound work. CFDR research is central to the Population Dynamics Branch scientific mission. CFDR affiliates research is award winning, published in the top journals, and heavily cited. A marker of our success and indicator of future productivity is an expanded grant portfolio with new teams of researchers. CFDR's infrastructure has yielded outstanding returns, cementing our prominence in demography. The primary anticipated benefit of continued NIH support for the CFDR is very clear: the advancement of a top-quality interdisciplinary and mixed-method research tradition focused on family demography, fertility and reproductive health, and social contexts and well-being. Several emphases cut across these themes, such as life course stage, cohort change and period influences, subgroup variation, and measurement. We pursue the following four goals in the current application: 1) Further increase the scientific impact, innovation, and productivity of CFDR; 2) Ensure CFDR affiliate competitiveness for external funding; 3) Support the development of CFDR affiliates with an emphasis on junior faculty; and 4) Ignite population science by providing new data and research tools for the broader community. We accomplish those goals by supporting four efficient cores that complement one another: Administrative, Computing and Data, Development, and Public. The CFDR is already providing national leadership, and our vision is to continue to foster an environment of innovation and collaboration that yields high impact research on cutting-edge issues in demography including new work on same-sex couples, family trajectories of reproductive health, and the role of the criminal justice system in families and well-being. To further this vision, the CFDR long-term plan includes expanding our role in shaping the national research agenda and spearheading new demographic data collection efforts.
