DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The purpose of this predoctoral and postdoctoral research training program is to provide rigorous training in the general fields of social, medical, and economic demography of aging. The program focuses on five substantive areas: a) biodemography, including indices and models of aging, vitality, and frailty, b) health disparities (by race/ethnicity, sex, socioeconomic status) among the elderly; c) international comparative studies of the health of aging populations in both developed and developing countries; d) important life course transitions (e.g., family changes, work and retirement, morbidity and disability) that relate to the health and well-being of aging persons; and e) the economics of aging. These areas require a core of researchers with doctoral and postdoctoral training who are skilled in state-of-the-art analytic methods and population modeling. The training program is administered through the Duke Population Research Institute (DuPRI), an interdisciplinary research organization of Duke University, and the Department of Sociology. Established in 2006, DuPRI constitutes a reorganization and expansion of population studies at Duke and replaces the Center for Demographic Studies, which was historically associated with this training grant. Predoctoral training is carried on with the full collaboration of the graduate training programs of the Departments of Sociology, Economics, and Public Policy in which doctorates are awarded. The training takes place at DuPRI, the Departments, and the Center for the Study of Aging and Human Development. The facilities at all these sites are utilized by both predoctoral and postdoctoral trainees. Eight predoctoral trainees with various background levels will be appointed in each year to conduct aging studies through the completion of their doctoral dissertations, normally four to five years for entering students with B.A. degrees. Trainees must fulfill all theory and methods requirements of a Ph.D. in sociology, economics, or public policy. In addition, all trainees must take required courses in the demography of aging and in demographic and statistical models and methods. At the postdoctoral level, two appointments of persons with a Ph.D. or equivalent degree will be made. These postdoctoral trainees typically will be recruited with varied levels of experience for two-year periods of training. They gain first-hand experience under direct supervision of preceptors on major ongoing research projects. They also are provided the opportunity of taking appropriate courses to obtain advanced training knowledge in needed methodological and substantive areas.

描述（由申请人提供）：该二含量和博士后研究培训计划的目的是在社会，医疗和经济人口统计学的一般领域提供严格的培训。该计划侧重于五个实质性领域：a）生物人口统计学，包括衰老，活力和脆弱的指数和模型，b）老年人的健康差异（按种族/种族，性别，性别，社会经济地位）； c）关于发达国家和发展中国家衰老人口健康的国际比较研究； d）与衰老人的健康和福祉有关的重要生活课程过渡（例如，家庭变化，工作和退休，发病率和残疾）； e）衰老的经济学。这些领域需要具有博士学位和博士后培训的研究人员的核心，这些研究人员擅长于最先进的分析方法和人群建模。该培训计划通过杜克大学跨学科研究组织和社会学系杜克人口研究所（DUPRI）进行管理。 DUPRI成立于2006年，构成了杜克大学人口研究的重组和扩展，并取代了人口研究中心，这与这项培训赠款有关。在社会学，经济学和公共政策部门的研究生培训计划的完整合作中，进行了培训前培训。该培训在Dupri，部门和衰老和人类发展研究中心进行。所有这些地点的设施均由术前和博士后学员使用。每年将任命八名具有不同背景级别的学期学员，通过完成博士学位论文，通常为4至五年的学生进行B.A.的学生进行衰老研究。学位。学员必须满足博士学位的所有理论和方法要求。社会学，经济学或公共政策。此外，所有学员必须在老龄化以及人口统计和统计模型和方法中学习所需的课程。在博士后，有两名拥有博士学位的人的任命。或将获得同等程度。这些博士后学员通常会在两年的培训期间以各种经验的水平招募。他们在主要正在进行的研究项目中直接监督受体的直接监督下获得了第一手经验。还为他们提供了适当的课程，以获取所需方法和实质领域的高级培训知识。
