Demography and Ecology

描述（由申请人提供）：本申请要求在威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校人口与生态中心提供额外五年的人口研究培训支持。虽然我们已经扩大了我们的跨学科活动和我们的培训的广度，我们要求博士前（8）和博士后（1）助学金相同的数量。人口与生态中心40多年来一直提供世界一流的人口科学培训计划。它的毕业生是最著名的人口学家和人口科学家之一。培训计划基于三个关键要素：优秀的教师对关键问题进行扎实的研究;教师和学生研究和学习的高质量资源;以及精心设计和全面实施的课程，结合课程工作和研究经验。在过去的5-10年里，CDE通过帮助附属部门积极招募顶尖的年轻人口科学家来应对预期的退休率上升。跨部门和学科的新的和更强的联系增强了学生的跨学科培训经验。CDE的研究组合的国际成分在过去五年中爆炸性增长，产生了广泛和非常丰富的国际项目和网络，通过这些项目和网络，学生可以制定自己的国际研究议程。 CDE培训教师的51名成员为学生提供丰富的课程和非凡的机会，让他们参与各种各样的研究项目。CDE的基础设施补助金、个人赠款和大学支持为学生提供的研究资源非常出色。再加上要求严格的课程和密集的学徒制度，CDE的人力和物力资源为人口研究的博士前和博士后培训创造了最佳环境。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application requests five additional years of support for training in population research at the Center for Demography and Ecology, University of Wisconsin-Madison. Although we have expanded our interdisciplinary activities and the breadth of our training, we are requesting the same number of predoctoral (8) and postdoctoral (1) stipends. The Center for Demography and Ecology has for more than 40 years offered a world-class program of training in population science. Its graduates are among the most renowned demographers and population scientists. The training program is based on three critical ingredients: outstanding faculty conducting solid research on critical problems; high quality resources for faculty and student research and study; and a well-designed and fully implemented curriculum combining course work and research experience. During the past 5-10 years, CDE responded to anticipated increases in retirement rates by helping affiliated departments aggressively recruit top young population scientists. New and stronger ties across departments and disciplines enhance students' interdisciplinary training experiences. The international components of CDE's research portfolio have grown explosively in the past five years, producing an extensive and exceedingly rich set of international projects and networks through which students can develop their own international research agenda. The 51 members of the CDE training faculty offer a rich curriculum and extraordinary opportunities for students to participate on a wide variety of research projects. Research resources provided to students from CDE's infrastructure grant, individual grants and university support are outstanding. Together with a demanding curriculum and an intensive apprenticeship system, CDE's human and material resources produce the best possible environment for pre and postdoctoral training in population research.
