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）：杜克大学杜克大学老龄化人口学中心通过杜克大学人口研究所和社会科学研究所提议建立一个以 12 名高级教职人员为核心的老龄化人口学中心以及他们的研究小组。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密切的联系：杜克中心将具有很强的国际影响力。杜克大学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，特别是在衰老的生物和生物医学人口学（又称衰老的生物人口学）领域，以及创新的数学和统计人口工具和方法的开发和应用数据。该中心将帮助杜克大学设立两个新的教职职位，一个是专注于生物人口学的助理教授，另一个是数学和统计人口学专业的助理教授。该中心重点关注生物人口学以及数学和统计人口学，还将支持每年两次的高度创新和协作的研究人员（来自杜克大学和世界各地）的科学网络会议以及针对年轻研究人员的高级教育计划（研究生和博士后研究人员）、大型试点项目研究计划、活跃的研究研讨会计划以及广泛的统计数据库和飞地的开发。杜克大学老龄化人口学中心将成为创新和国际合作的引擎。它将促进创新网络、试点项目研究、新研究人员、新教授的教育，以及建立在数据分析方法方面拥有深厚专业知识的杜克人口数据服务。
