This proposal requests renewal of the program in International Training and Research in Population and Health at the Population Studies Center of the University of Pennsylvania. A core faculty of eight investigators is proposed to carry out research and training activities focused on two regions: Sub-Saharan African and Latin America. Research and training will occur in the context of two major initiatives-the African Census Analysis Project and the Latin American Migration Project-and a variety of related other investigations being conducted by Penn faculty in these regions. We propose a program focused on four kinds of training. At the predoctoral level, we proposed supporting one African and one Latin American graduate fellow each year; at the postdoctoral level, we propose funding one African and one Latin American postdoc each year; we also envision a program of short training rotations of 1-6 months to enable researchers from Africa and Latin America to acquire specific skills and knowledge. Finally, we propose to hold one training or research workshop per year in each of the regions, to enable Latin American and African demographers to exchange research findings and other useful information that would enhance local research capabilities and lead to more effective international collaborations.

该提案要求更新宾夕法尼亚大学人口研究中心的人口与健康国际培训和研究项目。提议由八名研究人员组成的核心人员开展主要针对两个地区的研究和培训活动：撒哈拉以南非洲和拉丁美洲。研究和培训将在两项主要举措——非洲人口普查分析项目和拉丁美洲移民项目——以及宾夕法尼亚大学教师在这些地区进行的各种相关其他调查的背景下进行。我们提出了一个侧重于四种培训的计划。在博士前阶段，我们建议每年支持一名非洲研究生和一名拉丁美洲研究生；在博士后层面，我们建议每年资助一名非洲博士后和一名拉丁美洲博士后；我们还设想了一个为期 1-6 个月的短期培训轮换计划，以使非洲和拉丁美洲的研究人员能够获得特定的技能和知识。最后，我们建议每年在每个地区举办一次培训或研究研讨会，以使拉丁美洲和非洲人口统计学家能够交流研究成果和其他有用信息，从而增强当地研究能力并促进更有效的国际合作。
