Population Studies Center Infrastructure Grant

密歇根大学人口研究中心（PSC）在NICHD R24人口研究基础设施项目下申请了一项为期五年的资助。人口研究中心是美国最古老的人口中心之一，在国内和国际人口研究方面有着杰出的记录。自1976年以来，该中心一直拥有NICHD P30人口研究中心核心基金，P30基金一直支持NICHD，其他NIH研究所，NSF和主要基金会的个人研究基金组合。密歇根大学排名靠前的社会科学系和专业学院，加上社会研究所的独特优势，使密歇根大学成为人口统计学研究的一个非常强大的基地。该中心目前的师资队伍是其历史上最强大、最跨学科的，在人口研究的许多领域做出了重大贡献。拟议的R24基础设施计划旨在维持对这些现有卓越领域的支持，同时支持一些新的跨学科倡议和扩展的专业服务。要求支持三个研究支持核心：(1)行政；(2)计算；(3)信息服务。信息服务核心包括一套拟议的协调服务，为所有人口中心提供服务。还要求支持两个新的基础设施组成部分：(1)发展基础设施，为种子赠款和教员招聘提供资金；(2)与明尼苏达州人口中心合作提供共享数据存档服务的合作基础设施。

The Population Studies Center (PSC) of the University of Michigan requests a five-year grant under the NICHD R24 Population Research Infrastructure Program. The Population Studies Center is one of the oldest population centers in the United States, with a distinguished record in domestic and international population research. The Center has had a NICHD P30 Population Research Center Core Grant since 1976, with the P30 grant supporting a consistently strong portfolio of individual research grants from NICHD, other NIH institutes, NSF, and major foundations. The University's highly ranked social science departments and professional schools, combined with the unique strengths of the Institute for Social Research, make the University of Michigan an exceptionally strong base for demographic research. The Center's current group of faculty is the strongest and most interdisciplinary in its history, making major contributions in many areas of demographic research. The proposed R24 infrastructure program is designed to maintain support for these existing areas of excellence, while supporting a number of new interdisciplinary initiatives and an expanded set of services to the profession. Support is requested for three research support cores: (1) Administration; (2) Computing: and (3) Information Services. The Information Services core includes a proposed set of coordinating services to serve all NICHD population centers. Support is also requested for two new infrastructure components: (1) Developmental infrastructure to provide funds for seed grants and faculty recruitment; and (2) Cooperative infrastructure to provide shared data archive services in cooperation with the Minnesota Population Center.
