SUMMARY/ABSTRACT – OVERALL The Berkeley Population Center (BPC), now in its 13th year of operations, requests a five-year renewal (previously an R24) to continue its unique contributions in population research. BPC is a hub connecting population researchers in different disciplines from across this large campus. Taking advantage of both the faculty expertise as well as institutional initiatives, the five Primary Research Areas to be supported in the renewal period include the existing and well-established thematic areas of Formal Demography, Population Health, and Reproductive Health and HIV. New to BPC is a focus on Data Science and Demography, and Family Policy. Collectively these methodological and substantive areas contribute basic knowledge to the determinants of health status and outcomes, and their interdependence with the core demographic processes of fertility, migration and mortality. BPC is a resource center for the development of new research ideas and initiatives, doing so with its (a) support for weekly `brown bag' luncheon seminars and frequent mini- conferences that allow for exposure to a multiplicity to innovative ideas within a congenial networking environment; (b) dissemination of information about opportunities in population research such as external funding, calls for papers, workshops and training; and (c) substantial support for grant development. Through the pilot grant program, researchers have the ability to try out and develop research ideas, and to provide graduate students participatory opportunities. Our affiliates are from Demography, Public Health, Economics, Sociology, Public Policy, Social Welfare and other disciplines. In particular, early stage investigators are welcomed to BPC and given mentored support and financial assistance to advance their intellectual development and research activity. The affiliates are faculty yet the beneficiaries of the Center include postdoctoral fellows, population researchers, and students – both graduate and undergraduate – such that the BPC contributes directly and indirectly to the training of a new and diverse cohorts of researchers. BPC also benefits from significant institutional support from the College of Letters and Science and the Office of the Vice- Chancellor of Research ($59,000 annually) matching its commitment to BPC despite a budget crisis, as well as support from the computing and data center (D-Lab), the Department of Demography, the School of Public Health, and the new Berkeley Institute for Data Science. Substantial administrative support is provided by the university. In the past 5 years we have proven success in our productivity as evidenced by our growing grant portfolio (PDB-funded grants increased from $0.6 million in FY2012 to $2.36 million in FY2017) and the caliber of our 50 faculty affiliates. BPC is poised to continue its contribution to innovative and interdisciplinary population research that will transform how we address population challenges in the 21st century.

摘要/摘要——总体 伯克利人口中心 (BPC) 现已运营 13 年，请求续签五年 BPC（以前为 R24）继续在人口研究方面做出独特贡献，是一个连接的枢纽。 来自这个大校园的不同学科的人口研究人员充分利用了这两个优势。 教师的专业知识以及机构举措，五个主要研究领域将得到支持 更新期包括现有的和完善的主题领域：正式人口学、人口 健康、生殖健康和艾滋病毒 BPC 的新重点是数据科学和人口统计学，以及 这些方法论和实质性领域共同为家庭政策提供了基础知识。 健康状况和结果的决定因素及其与核心人口进程的相互依赖性 BPC 是一个发展新研究理念和研究的资源中心。 为此，它 (a) 支持每周举行的“棕色袋子”午餐研讨会和频繁的小型研讨会 允许在意气相投的网络中接触多种创新想法的会议 环境；(b) 传播关于人口研究机会的信息，例如外部环境； 资金、论文征集、研讨会和培训；以及 (c) 对赠款开发的大力支持。 通过试点资助计划，研究人员有能力尝试和发展研究想法，并提供 我们的附属机构来自人口学、公共卫生、经济学、 特别是社会学、公共政策、社会福利和其他学科的早期调查人员。 欢迎来到 BPC，并给予指导支持和财政援助，以提高他们的智力水平 附属机构是教员，但该中心的受益者包括 博士后研究员、人口研究人员和学生（研究生和本科生），以便 BPC 还直接和间接地为新的、多样化的研究人员群体的培训做出了贡献。 受益于文学与科学学院和副办公室的大力机构支持 研究总监（每年 59,000 美元）在预算危机的情况下兑现了对 BPC 的承诺，以及 计算和数据中心（D-Lab）、人口学系、公立学院的支持 健康和新的伯克利数据科学研究所提供了大量的行政支持。 在过去的五年里，我们不断增加的资助证明了我们在生产力方面的成功。 投资组合（PDB 资助的赠款从 2012 财年的 60 万美元增加到 2017 财年的 236 万美元）和口径 我们 50 名附属教员中的 BPC 准备继续为创新和跨学科做出贡献。 人口研究将改变我们应对 21 世纪人口挑战的方式。
