DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The next generation of population researchers must be prepared to meet the challenges of integrating social, behavioral, and biomedical research perspectives to address the health and welfare of the population. Developing multidisciplinary research teams requires an understanding of the perspectives of the different disciplines, and gaining the basic training in those disciplines and how to integrate them is critical. The overall goal of the proposed training program is to equip current and future population researchers with the skills needed to address the multidisciplinary challenges of this new research agenda. Specific activities to achieve these training goals include: (1) develop a semester-long course at the graduate level that integrates demographic, epidemiological, and biomedical approaches to the collection, analysis, and interpretation of biomarkers in the context of large-scale sample surveys such as the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health; (2) condense the semester-long course into an intensive one-week summer course targeted to population research professionals who are interested in gaining the practical knowledge to integrate collection of biomarkers into their research; (3) enhance the existing Carolina Population Center Biomedical Core website to make the information used in both of these courses more broadly available to the population research community; (4) develop an undergraduate intern program that focuses on attracting and preparing under-represented minorities for future research at the intersection of the population and health sciences.

描述（由申请人提供）：下一代人口研究人员必须准备应对整合社会，行为和生物医学研究观点的挑战，以解决人口的健康和福利。建立多学科研究团队需要了解不同学科的观点，并在这些学科中获得基本培训以及如何整合它们至关重要。拟议的培训计划的总体目标是为当前和未来的人群研究人员配备解决这一新研究议程所需的多学科挑战所需的技能。实现这些培训目标的具体活动包括：（1）在研究生级别开发一个学期的课程，将人口统计学，流行病学和生物医学方法整合到在大规模样本调查的背景下（例如国家纵向研究青少年健康的国家纵向研究）中对生物标志物的收集，分析和解释； （2）将整个学期的课程融合为一个密集的为期一周的夏季课程，该课程针对人群研究专业人员，他们有兴趣获得实践知识，以将生物标志物的收集集成到他们的研究中； （3）增强现有的卡罗来纳州人口中心生物医学核心网站，以使这两个课程中使用的信息更广泛地可供人口研究界使用； （4）开发一项本科实习计划，该计划着重于吸引和准备代表性不足的少数民族在人群与健康科学的交集中进行未来的研究。
