DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Duke Center on the Demography of Aging, Duke University, through its Duke Population Research Institute and its Social Science Research Institute, proposes to establish a Center on the Demography of Aging having at its core twelve senior faculty members and their research groups. These groups have strong ties with Europe, the former Soviet Union, China, Indonesia, Mexico and elsewhere: the Duke Center will have a strong international emphasis. The Duke Center will promote a highly synergistic and interdisciplinary environment to foster important research breakthroughs particularly in the areas of biological and biomedical demography of aging (aka the biodemography of aging) and in the development and application of innovative mathematical and statistical demographic tools and methods to data. The Center will help establish two new faculty positions at Duke, one an assistant professor having a focus on biodemography and the other an assistant professor with expertise in mathematical and statistical demography. With an emphasis on biodemography and mathematical and statistical demography, the Center will also support, twice-yearly, highly innovative and collaborative scientific network meetings of researchers (both from Duke and from around the world) as well as an advanced educational program for young researchers (graduate students and post-doctoral researchers), a large pilot project research program, a lively research seminar program, and the development of an extensive statistical data library and enclave. The Duke Center on the Demography of Aging will be an engine for innovation and international collaboration. It will foster innovative networks, pilot project research, and education for new researchers, new professorships, and the establishment of a Duke demographic data service with deep expertise in data analysis methodology.

描述（由申请人提供）：杜克大学杜克大学杜克大学衰老人口统计学中心，通过其杜克人口研究所及其社会科学研究学院，建议建立一个关于衰老人口统计学的中心，该中心是其核心的十二位高级教职员工及其研究小组。这些团体与欧洲，前苏联，中国，印度尼西亚，墨西哥和其他地方有着牢固的联系：杜克中心将有强烈的国际重点。杜克中心将促进高度协同和跨学科的环境，以促进重要的研究突破，尤其是在衰老的生物学和生物医学人口统计领域（又称衰老的生物人口统计学）以及创新的数学和统计人口统计学工具和数据的创新和应用。该中心将帮助在杜克（Duke）建立两个新的教师职位，一位是一名专注于生物人体值的助理教授，另一位是数学和统计人口专业知识的助理教授。 With an emphasis on biodemography and mathematical and statistical demography, the Center will also support, twice-yearly, highly innovative and collaborative scientific network meetings of researchers (both from Duke and from around the world) as well as an advanced educational program for young researchers (graduate students and post-doctoral researchers), a large pilot project research program, a lively research seminar program, and the development of an extensive statistical data library and enclave.杜克大学衰老人口统计学中心将是创新和国际合作的引擎。它将为新研究人员，新教授职位以及建立具有深厚专业知识的杜克人口数据服务的新研究人员，新教授职位的创新网络，试点项目研究和教育。
