Social Science Training Program in Population Studies

项目摘要/摘要 人口研究中心(PSC)要求延长其博士后和博士后社会工作五年 人口研究科学培训计划，自1986年以来由NICHD资助，以建立在以下方面的良好记录 培养创新、道德和多产的研究人员，包括那些来自代表性不足的背景的研究人员 在这些学科中。博士前实习生来自密歇根州排名靠前的博士生项目 社会学、经济学、公共卫生和公共政策。他们将结合博士学位的具体要求 他们的学科有额外的人口学专门培训，通过正规的 课程作业、非正式研讨会和以PSC的Rich为基础的研究学徒计划 跨学科环境。博士后学者是来自不同社会和健康领域的研究人员 通过集中接触人口统计学理论和研究人口的方法而受益的科学 健康。大多数博士后实习生是从其他大学招聘的，并受益于与新的 导师或导师，参加一系列实质性、方法性和职业化研讨会， 和合作研究。密歇根州的实习生由调查人员根据一些最核心的数据进行指导 研究人口动态的收集项目，如收入动态小组研究。他们获得了 在健康怀孕、儿童和青年健康以及终身健康的基础上的专业知识， 特别注意健康差距的社会和经济决定因素。我们的目标是培育 下一代职业健康科学家致力于将知识、理论和工具从 经济学、公共卫生、公共政策和社会学，以收集和分析处理政策所需的数据 以及人口进程中与健康有关的趋势。领导：该项目将由萨拉博士共同领导 伯加德是PSC主任，也是NIH资助的社会学家和流行病学家，专注于 社会经济、性别和种族/民族健康差距的决定因素，助理研究员Paula Fomby博士 自2017年以来担任PSC主任和培训主任，NIH资助的家庭人口学家。MPI是 由来自经济学/公共政策的实地协调员培训委员会(杨迪安博士)支持，卫生 行为和健康教育(Arline Geronimus博士)和社会学/公共政策(Jeff Morenoff博士，前 PSC中心主任)所有的全职教授和经验丰富的导师。学员将由不同的人指导 培训来自这些部门和相关学科部门的教师、资金充足的项目研究人员和 有指导和安排受训人员担任学术和政府研究领导职位的良好记录。这个 培训计划将由PSC负责，PSC是美国最古老的人口中心之一， 在国内和国际人口动态研究和培训方面有60年的杰出记录。

Project Summary/Abstract The Population Studies Center (PSC) requests a five-year renewal of its predoctoral and postdoctoral Social Science Training Program in Population Studies, funded by NICHD since 1986, to build on a strong record of producing innovative, ethical, and productive researchers, including those from backgrounds underrepresented in these disciplines. Predoctoral trainees are drawn from Michigan's highly ranked doctoral programs in sociology, economics, public health, and public policy. They will 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 scholars are researchers from a variety of social and health sciences who benefit from focused exposure to demographic theories and methods for studying population health. Most postdoctoral trainees are recruited from other universities, and benefit from matches with a new mentor or mentors, participation in a range of substantive, methodological, and professionalization seminars, and collaborative research. Michigan trainees are mentored by investigators on some of the most central data collection projects for studying population dynamics, such as the Panel Study of Income Dynamics. They gain expertise in the foundations of healthy pregnancies, child and young adult health, and lifelong wellness, with particular attention to the social and economic determinants of health disparities therein. Our goal is to cultivate the next generation of health scientists for careers spent integrating knowledge, theory, and tools from economics, public health, public policy, and sociology to collect and analyze the data needed to address policy and health-relevant trends in population processes. Leadership: The program will be co-led by Dr. Sarah Burgard, director of the PSC and NIH-funded sociologist and epidemiologist focused on the social determinants of socioeconomic, gender and racial/ethnic health disparities, and Dr. Paula Fomby, associate director and training director of the PSC since 2017 and NIH-funded family demographer. The MPIs are supported by a training committee of field coordinators from Economics/Public Policy (Dr. Dean Yang), Health Behavior and Health Education (Dr. Arline Geronimus) and Sociology/Public Policy (Dr. Jeff Morenoff, former PSC Center Director) all full professors and experienced mentors. Trainees will be mentored by diverse training faculty from these and related disciplinary departments, researchers with well-funded projects and a strong record of mentoring and placing trainees in leading academic and governmental research positions. The training program will be stewarded by the PSC, one of the oldest population centers in the United States, with a distinguished 60-year record of domestic and international research and training in population dynamics.
