DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): In recognition of the critical role that social, psychological, and lifestyle factors (social determinants of health) play in disease onset, progression, and amelioration, the NIH over the last two decades has supported an increasing portfolio of extramural studies on social and behavioral dimensions of health. The Institute for Social Research (ISR) has played a major role in this evolution of social science research on health, and it has at present nearly a quarter of a billion dollars in active NIH supported studies, ranging from small clinical studies, to community interventions, to long-running longitudinal panel studies on large population based samples. In fact, the 20-year Health and Retirement Study (HRS), a major beneficiary of the proposed infrastructure expansion, is the largest single NIH grant at the University of Michigan, a university that ranks among the U.S. leaders in NIH supported bio-medical research. Over this same period, there has been almost a revolution in the nature of health related social and behavioral science research, with the increasing development of more sophisticated theoretical models and hypotheses that include biometric and biological measures and the use of genetic material. This evolution has been furthered by the amazing increase in knowledge propelled by advances in molecular biological technologies, and especially brain sciences. Again the ISR has played a major role in these developments. Studies like the HRS now routinely collect biological and biometric measures, and the interdisciplinary base of ISR's NIH research has evolved to include research physicians, geneticists, epidemiologists, and other health scientists working in concert with psychologists, sociologists, and economists. These changes have resulted in a large expansion of both the type and quantity of research scientists and, simply put, the ISR is fast running out of space. New space must be suited for this new type of social and behavioral science research, storage, and retrieval facilities, as well as for the generation of new scientists that are needed, and are rapidly being hired, to work on this cutting edge of the social determinants (and correlates) of health and diseases. This application requests support to expand physically the ISR to include appropriate spaces for the technical infrastructure needed for the design, collection, and storage and retrieval of human data, as well as the office and meeting room spaces needed to house the growing bio-social and bio-behavioral science workforce at ISR described in the application. The State of Michigan has been particularly hard hit by the national economic downturn. This funding will provide construction employment in the short run, and in the long term the space needed to house the growing new scientific workforce we are currently, and anticipate, hiring over the next 10 years.

描述（由申请人提供）：认识到社会、心理和生活方式因素（健康的社会决定因素）在疾病发生、进展和改善中发挥的关键作用，NIH 在过去二十年中支持了越来越多的组合关于健康的社会和行为层面的校外研究。社会研究所 (ISR) 在健康社会科学研究的发展中发挥了重要作用，目前 NIH 资助的研究已达近 25 亿美元，范围从小型临床研究到社区干预，对基于大量人口的样本进行长期纵向面板研究。事实上，20 年健康与退休研究 (HRS) 是拟议的基础设施扩建的主要受益者，是密歇根大学最大的 NIH 单一拨款，该大学在 NIH 支持的生物医学领域位居美国领先地位。研究。在同一时期，随着更复杂的理论模型和假设的不断发展，包括生物识别和生物测量以及遗传物质的使用，与健康相关的社会和行为科学研究的性质几乎发生了一场革命。分子生物技术，特别是脑科学的进步推动了知识的惊人增长，进一步推动了这种演变。 ISR 在这些发展中再次发挥了重要作用。像HRS这样的研究现在定期收集生物和生物特征测量数据，ISR的NIH研究的跨学科基础已经发展到包括研究医生、遗传学家、流行病学家和其他与心理学家、社会学家和经济学家合作的健康科学家。这些变化导致研究科学家的类型和数量大幅增加，简而言之，情监侦空间正在快速耗尽。新的空间必须适合这种新型的社会和行为科学研究、存储和检索设施，以及需要并正在迅速聘用的新科学家的产生，以从事社会科学的前沿工作。健康和疾病的决定因素（和相关因素）。该应用程序请求支持对ISR进行物理扩展，以包括设计、收集、存储和检索人类数据所需的技术基础设施的适当空间，以及容纳不断增长的生物社会和信息所需的办公室和会议室空间。申请中描述了 ISR 的生物行为科学团队。密歇根州受到全国经济衰退的打击尤为严重。这笔资金将在短期内提供建筑业就业机会，从长远来看，将提供容纳我们目前并预计在未来 10 年雇用的不断增长的新科学劳动力所需的空间。
