PROJECT SUMMARY Across the past five decades, data creation investments in the U.S. and Western Europe have spurred dramatic breakthroughs in the social and behavioral sciences. The creation of large scientific studies of human behavior and social experience in the general population form a crucial cornerstone of these investments. Because the data from these studies are so important for the construction and evaluation of public policies and programs to improve the health and wellbeing of the population, NICHD places a high scientific priority on research educational tools that significantly expand the scientific use of such data. The primary limitation of these research education efforts thus far is an exclusive focus on data from the U.S. population. This greatly restricts the ability to test the external validity of key findings, raising the possibility that even within the U.S. population findings from any particular study population may not apply to important sub-populations. Research education on data resources from populations living under circumstances quite different from the U.S. and Western Europe are urgently needed so that social and behavioral scientists can quickly and easily test the breadth of external validity of key findings as well as to advance understanding of these different populations. We will leverage NICHD's long-term investment in the Chitwan Valley Family Study (CVFS) in Nepal to achieve this high priority objective. We will implement a series of educational, research tool construction, and continuing education activities designed to significantly increase the quality and quantity of international population science. The CVFS is an excellent international population science training resource, featuring a 24-year whole-family panel study with many important characteristics. These include dynamic measures of child health, contraceptive use, mental health, and community context with both DNA and migrant interviews for all family members. We will use this special resource to launch a new multimedia educational program focused on international population science. The program will feature an integrated set of topical short courses, web-based access to those courses, education on high priority longitudinal research tools, innovative “always available” learning tools, and archived tutorials. The importance of international population research continues to grow as interconnections across populations increase. Dynamics of migration, commerce, digital media use, and violent conflict all increase the need for thorough scientific understanding of population dynamics in far- away settings. Our program will supply training in international population research skills to enable higher quality and quantity of research. The tools can be applied to advance science using repeated cross-sectional surveys, surveillance data, longitudinal panel studies, or random control trial studies. Our educational program will feature illustrations with the NICHD Population Dynamics Branch's (PDB) highest scientific priorities: studying contraceptive use and non-use, health across the life course, and the role of genetic factors.

项目概要 在过去的五年里，美国和西欧的数据创建投资刺激了 社会和行为科学领域的重大突破 普通民众的行为和社会经验构成了这些投资的重要基石。 因为这些研究的数据对于公共政策和公共政策的构建和评估非常重要。 为了改善人民的健康和福祉，NICHD 高度重视科学优先事项 研究显着扩展此类数据的科学用途的教育工具。 迄今为止，这些研究教育工作主要关注来自美国人口的数据。 限制了测试关键发现的外部有效性的能力，这增加了即使在美国内部也存在这种情况的可能性。 任何特定研究人群的人群研究结果可能不适用于重要的亚人群研究。 在与美国截然不同的情况下对来自生活人群的数据资源进行教育 迫切需要西欧，以便社会和行为科学家能够快速、轻松地测试 主要研究结果的外部有效性的广度以及促进对这些不同人群的理解。 我们将利用 NICHD 对尼泊尔奇旺谷家庭研究 (CVFS) 的长期投资， 为了实现这一高度优先的目标，我们将实施一系列的教育、研究工具建设，以及 旨在显着提高国际教育质量和数量的继续教育活动 CVFS 是一个优秀的国际人口科学培训资源，具有以下特点： 24 年的全家庭追踪研究具有许多重要特征，其中包括动态测量。 通过 DNA 和移民访谈了解儿童健康、避孕药具的使用、心理健康和社区背景 我们将利用这一特殊资源为所有家庭成员推出新的多媒体教育计划。 该计划将以国际人口科学为特色，提供一套综合的专题短期课程， 基于网络的这些课程的访问、高优先级纵向研究工具的教育、创新的“始终 可用的”学习工具和存档教程 国际人口研究的重要性仍然存在。 随着人口流动、商业、数字媒体使用的增加而增长。 和暴力冲突都增加了对远方人口动态进行彻底科学了解的必要性。 我们的计划将提供国际人口研究技能的培训，以实现更高的水平。 这些工具可用于通过重复横截面来推进科学发展。 调查、监测数据、纵向小组研究或随机对照试验研究。 将以 NICHD 人口动态分支 (PDB) 最高科学优先事项的插图为特色： 研究避孕药具的使用和不使用、整个生命过程中的健康以及遗传因素的作用。
