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.

项目摘要 在过去的五十年中，美国和西欧的数据创建投资刺激了 社会和行为科学的戏剧性突破。建立了人类的大型科学研究 一般人口中的行为和社会经验构成了这些投资的关键基石。 因为这些研究的数据对于公共政策的构建和评估至关重要 改善人口健康和福祉的计划，NICHD对 研究教育工具，可大大扩大此类数据的科学用途。主要局限 到目前为止，这些研究教育工作是对美国人口数据的独家关注。这很大 限制了测试主要发现的外部有效性的能力，从而提高了即使在美国境内的可能性 任何特定研究人群的人群发现可能不适用于重要的子人群。研究 在与美国完全不同的环境下生活的数据资源的教育以及 迫切需要西欧，以便社会和行为科学家可以快速，轻松地测试 关键发现的外部有效性的广度以及提高对这些不同人群的理解。 我们将利用NICHD对尼泊尔的Chitwan Valley家庭研究（CVFS）的长期投资 实现这一高优先级目标。我们将实施一系列的教育，研究工具构建，并 继续教育活动，旨在显着提高国际的质量和数量 人口科学。 CVFS是一种出色的国际人口科学培训资源，具有 具有许多重要特征的24年全户家庭小组研究。这些包括动态测量 DNA和移民访谈都 为所有家庭成员。我们将使用此特殊资源启动新的多媒体教育计划 专注于国际人口科学。该计划将配备一组集成的局部短期课程， 基于Web的访问这些课程，有关高优先级纵向研究工具的教育，创新的“总是 可用的”学习工具和存档教程。国际人口研究的重要性继续 随着人群之间的互连的增长而增长。迁移，商业，数字媒体使用的动态， 暴力冲突都增加了对遥远人群动态的彻底科学理解的需求。 离开设置。我们的计划将提供国际人口研究技能的培训，以使更高 研究的质量和数量。这些工具可以使用重复的横截面来推进科学 监视，监视数据，纵向面板研究或随机对照试验研究。我们的教育计划 将以NICHD人口动态分支（PDB）的最高科学优先事项为特色： 研究避孕方法和不使用，整个生活过程中的健康以及遗传因素的作用。
