Training in the Demography and Economics of Aging

项目总结 密歇根大学人口研究中心要求将培训延长五年 人口统计学和老龄化经济学方面的课程。密歇根州拥有世界上最古老的人口中心之一 美国，在国内和国际人口研究和培训方面有着杰出的记录。这个 大学社科系和专业学院排名很高，结合独特的 社会研究所的优势，为PSC提供了异常丰富的研究环境 以及老龄化人口统计学方面的培训。该中心目前的教职员工队伍可以说是最强大的 当然是它历史上最具跨学科的，在许多领域的研究中做出了重大贡献 老龄化的经济学和人口学。 拟议的培训方案将为选定的博士前和博士后提供专门的人口统计培训 博士后实习生。博士前培训项目以社会学博士项目为基础， 经济学、公共卫生和公共政策。学生结合他们的博士学位的具体要求 通过结合正规课程进行人口学方面的额外专门培训的学科， 非正式研讨会和以PSC丰富的跨学科为基础的研究学徒计划 环境。博士后培训是为来自不同学科的研究人员提供的 与教师导师协调，包括课程工作、研讨会、协作或独立 研究。 这项提议寻求每年8名博士后和4名博士后实习生的支持，相同数量的名额 我们目前的拨款中有。我们计划的一个主要焦点是社会经济、种族和民族差异 卫生--通过将公共卫生纳入该计划，促进了这一重点。该节目的最新记录 在实习生招聘和专业安置方面非常出色，实习生进入顶尖学术 和非学术职位，并在领先期刊上发表高质量的研究成果。我们的记录是 招聘、留住和安置任职人数不足的少数族裔受训人员的情况尤为突出。

PROJECT SUMMARY The Population Studies Center of the University of Michigan requests a five-year renewal of its training program in the demography and economics of aging. Michigan has one of the oldest population centers in the United States, with a distinguished record in domestic and international population research and training. The University's highly ranked social science departments and professional schools, combined with the unique strengths of the Institute for Social Research, provide PSC with an exceptionally rich environment for research and training in the demography of aging. The Center's current group of faculty is arguably the strongest and certainly the most interdisciplinary in its history, making major contributions in many areas of research in the economics and demography of aging. The proposed training program will provide specialized demographic training to selected predoctoral and postdoctoral trainees. The predoctoral training program is based in the doctoral programs in sociology, economics, public health, and public policy. Students combine the specific doctoral requirements of their disciplines with additional specialized training in demography through a combination of formal coursework, informal seminars, and a research apprenticeship program grounded in PSC's rich interdisciplinary environment. Postdoctoral training, which is provided to researchers from a variety of disciplines, is coordinated with a faculty mentor and includes course work, seminars, and collaborative or independent research. This proposal seeks support for 8 predoctoral and 4 postdoctoral trainees per year, the same number of slots we have in our current grant. A major focus of our program is socioeconomic, racial, and ethnic disparities in health – a focus facilitated by the addition of public health into the program. The recent record of the program in terms of trainee recruitment and professional placement is excellent, with trainees moving into top academic and non-academic positions and producing high-quality research published in leading journals. Our record of recruitment, retention, and placement of under-represented minority trainees is particularly strong.
