The Principal Investigator and three co-investigators are all members of the Department of Demography at the University of California at Berkeley. They seek to increase the number of leading scientists in the demography of aging by hiring and mentoring researchers at early or middle formative stages in their careers. It is likely that one of the candidates will be an early post-doctoral scholar and that the other will be from among late junior faculty candidates; the Program as formulated here broadly proposes to mentor one of each. The proposal relies on four of Berkeley's major strengths in the field of population aging: 1. The four investigators have substantial experience in teaching, research, mentoring, and public service. The four investigators from that department have received substantial recognition, much of it for work in the demography of aging, including membership in the National Academy of Sciences (3), fellows of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences (2), the current winner of the Irene Taeuber Award from the Population Association of America, the Mindel Sheps Award (2), past chairs of the National Research Council Committee on Population (2) and membership on the current Council of the International Union for the Scientific Study of Population (1). 2. An interdisciplinary group of social science researchers with active research interests in the broad field of population aging. An NIA-funded Center on the Economics and Demography of Aging (CEDA) serves as the focal point for its member researchers, who come from such fields as business administration, demography, entomology, health economics, law, and public policy. 3. A wider group of researchers on aging in the biological sciences and in the professional schools of public health and social welfare, clustered around the Academic Geriatric Center on Aging. The in-coming Director of this Center is also Vice-Chair of CEDA and recipient of an NIA K-07 Academic Career Leadership Award to coordinate all aging-related activities in the Berkeley region. 4. The opportunity to work under mentors whose current research interests lie in one of four fields: biodemography of aging; analysis of intergenerational transfers; cross-national research on mortality at extreme ages; developing perspectives on aging grounded in evolutionary anthropology.

首席调查员和三名共同研究人员都是加州大学伯克利分校的人口统计学成员。 他们试图通过在职业生涯的早期或中期阶段招聘和指导研究人员来增加衰老人口中的主要科学家的数量。 其中一名候选人可能是早期的博士后学者，而另一名候选人将来自晚期的初级教师候选人。此处规定的计划广泛建议指导每个程序之一。 该提案依靠伯克利在人口衰老领域的四项主要优势：1。四名调查人员在教学，研究，指导和公共服务方面具有丰富的经验。 The four investigators from that department have received substantial recognition, much of it for work in the demography of aging, including membership in the National Academy of Sciences (3), fellows of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences (2), the current winner of the Irene Taeuber Award from the Population Association of America, the Mindel Sheps Award (2), past chairs of the National Research Council Committee on Population (2) and membership on the current Council of the International Union for人群的科学研究（1）。 2。在人口衰老的广泛领域具有积极研究兴趣的社会科学研究人员跨学科的群体。 NIA资助的关于衰老经济学和人口统计学（CEDA）的中心是其成员研究人员的焦点，他们来自工商管理，人口统计学，昆虫学，健康经济学，法律和公共政策等领域。 3。一群关于生物科学衰老和公共卫生和社会福利专业学校的更广泛的研究人员，聚集在衰老的学术老年中心周围。 该中心的室内主任也是CEDA的副主席，并获得了NIA K-07学术职业领导力奖，以协调伯克利地区与老龄化有关的所有活动。 4。在当前研究兴趣的导师下工作的机会在于四个领域之一：衰老的生物人口统计学；分析代际传输；极年龄段死亡率的跨国研究；发展对衰老的观点，该观点基于进化人类学。
