DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Ohio State University requests a 5-year grant under the NICHD R24 Population Research Infrastructure Program to enable the Initiative in Population Research [IPR] to continue its highly successful support of population research. Since receiving an R21 award in July 2004, the IPR has grown substantially in the number of faculty affiliates, their disciplinary diversity, and their research productivity, making IPR a far stronger research center than 5 years ago. The growth of IPR has been accelerated by significant university investment in population research totaling nearly $5 million in faculty hires, renovation of new space for IPR, and seed grant support. Under the R24 award, IPR researchers will conduct a program of research in 7 thematic areas: 1) Union formation and dissolution; 2) Fertility; 3) Adolescent transitions; 4) Child health and development; 5) Adult health disparities; 6) Immigration/migration; and 7) Residential segregation. In each of these areas, IPR researchers are productive and innovative, and their work is supported by a substantial portfolio of research awards from NICHD, other NIH institutes, NSF, foundations, the state of Ohio, and other sources of funding. Many of the research projects are interdisciplinary collaborations among IPR researchers spread among 6 colleges and 14 departments at OSU, an outcome that IPR has deliberately fostered through a program of seed grants, working groups, and seminars. The proposed R24 infrastructure program will consist of three research support cores -1) Administration, 2) Statistics and Survey Methods, and 3) Geographic Analysis - and a 4) Developmental Core. Each core is carefully designed to provide the essential support and services that IPR researchers require to advance their programs of population research and that cannot be provided by their home departments. Key features of this infrastructure are a lean Administrative Core, a robust Development Core, and 2 technical cores that blend highly progressive technical services with strategic didactic activities. Emerging collaborations between behavioral and health scientists has been a notable development under the R21 award, and the program of activities under the R24 is designed to reinforce this trans-disciplinary mode of population research at Ohio State.

描述（由申请人提供）：俄亥俄州立大学要求根据NICHD R24人口研究基础设施计划获得5年赠款，以使人口研究计划[IPR]能够继续对人口研究的高度成功支持。自2004年7月获得R21奖项以来，知识产权已在教职员工的数量，纪律多样性和研究生产力中大大增长，这使得IPR成为比5年前更强大的研究中心。大学对人口研究的大量投资加速了IPR的增长，总计近500万美元的教职员工，对知识产权的新空间进行翻新以及种子赠款的支持。根据R24奖，知识产权研究人员将在7个主题领域进行研究计划：1）工会形成和解散； 2）生育； 3）青少年过渡； 4）儿童健康与发展； 5）成人健康差异； 6）移民/迁移； 7）住宅隔离。在这些领域的每个领域中，知识产权研究人员都有生产力和创新性，他们的工作得到了NICHD，其他NIH Institutes，NSF，基金会，俄亥俄州和其他资金来源的大量研究奖。许多研究项目都是IPR研究人员之间在OSU的6所和14个部门之间传播的跨学科合作，这一结果是IPR故意通过种子赠款，工作组和研讨会的计划来培养的。拟议的R24基础设施计划将包括三个研究支持核心-1）管理，2）统计和调查方法，以及3）地理分析 - 以及A 4）发展核心。每个核心都经过精心设计，以提供IPR研究人员所需的基本支持和服务，以推进其人口研究计划，而其家庭部门无法提供。该基础架构的主要特征是精益的行政核心，强大的开发核心以及2个技术核心，这些核心将高度进步的技术服务与战略教学活动融为一体。行为与健康科学家之间的新兴合作是R21奖的一个显着发展，R24下的活动计划旨在加强俄亥俄州立大学的这种跨学科人口研究模式。
