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做好准备，迎接整合社会、行为和生物医学研究视角的挑战，以解决人口的健康和福利问题。培养多学科研究团队需要了解不同学科的观点，获得这些学科的基础训练以及如何整合它们至关重要。拟议培训计划的总体目标是为当前和未来的人口研究人员提供应对这一新研究议程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）在研究生阶段开发一个为期一个学期的课程，整合人口学、流行病学和生物医学方法，在大规模抽样调查的背景下收集、分析和解释生物标志物例如国家青少年健康纵向研究； (2) 将为期一个学期的课程压缩为为期一周的强化暑期课程，针对有兴趣获得实践知识以将生物标志物收集融入其研究的人口研究专业人员； (3) 增强现有的卡罗莱纳州人口中心生物医学核心网站，使人口研究界更广泛地获得这两门课程中使用的信息； (4) 制定本科生实习计划，重点吸引和准备代表性不足的少数群体，以从事人口与健康科学交叉领域的未来研究。
