项目摘要

PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT Following on a very successful launch of this training program at the University of California Berkeley, the purpose of this renewal project is to continue providing high level training workshops for graduate students, postdoctoral fellows and early career faculty interested in acquiring formal demography skills. Formal demography consists of a set of analytic tools that allow for a kind of analysis not possible with standard statistical models and are therefore critical in addressing the kinds of complex population processes occurring in the 21st century. We build on the success of the first 5-year cycle, and introduce new workshop content by having a yearly special emphasis topic chosen to connect formal demography to important and newly emerging areas of demographic research. Pedagogically, we will modernize the workshop format by adding pre-workshop remote learning, on-site team projects, and a new generation of instructors. The proposed program consists of three weeks of guided independent study prior to the workshop, a weeklong workshop in Berkeley – three days of training followed by a two-day research conference; and an annual networking event at Population Association of America meetings. The three days of core training will include instruction on population dynamics and hands-on training in modern demographic computing (in the R statistical modeling language). A third day will include training and methods specific to that year's special emphasis topic. These workshops not only serve as training grounds, but also provide ample opportunities for networking and building relationships and community. During the week, trainees will also work on group projects to give them ample hands-on experience with the data and methodology, and results of these projects are presented on the final day of the workshop. The topics covered in the workshops include the continuation of core topics in the mathematical modeling of fertility and mortality, with the addition of new themes in population models of contagious diseases, impact of climate change on demography, and digital demography. These elements – training, research presentations, group projects, networking – work to create a long-lasting community of scholars that can engage in interdisciplinary research for years to come. In this way we expect that the topics of these studies will serve to inform demographic and social science research and have positive impacts in particular on population health policies.

项目概要/摘要继加州大学成功启动该培训计划之后伯克利，这个更新项目的目的是继续提供高水平的培训为研究生、博士后研究员和对以下领域感兴趣的早期职业教师举办研讨会获得正式人口统计学技能。正式人口统计学由一组分析工具组成，这些工具包括：允许进行标准统计模型无法进行的分析，因此至关重要我们致力于解决 21 世纪发生的各种复杂的人口过程。基于第一个 5 年周期的成功，并通过每年举办一次研讨会来介绍新的研讨会内容选择特别强调的主题，将正式人口学与重要的和新兴的联系起来在人口学研究领域，我们将通过以下方式使研讨会形式现代化。添加研讨会前远程学习、现场团队项目和新一代拟议的计划包括在开始之前进行三周的指导性独立学习。研讨会，在伯克利举办的为期一周的研讨会——三天的培训，然后是两天的培训研究会议；以及美国人口协会的年度网络活动为期三天的核心培训将包括人口动态和人口方面的指导。现代人口计算实践培训（R 统计建模语言）。第三天将包括针对当年特别重点的培训和方法。讲习班不仅作为培训场所，还为他们提供了充足的机会本周，学员还将开展网络工作、建立关系和社区。在小组项目上为他们提供有关数据和方法的示例实践经验，以及这些项目的结果将在研讨会的最后一天公布。研讨会包括生育率数学建模核心主题的延续和死亡率，并在传染病人口模型中增加了新主题，气候变化对人口和数字人口的影响这些要素——培训、研究报告、小组项目网络——努力创建一个持久的社区我们期望未来几年能够从事跨学科研究的学者。这些研究的主题将为人口和社会科学研究提供信息尤其是对人口健康政策产生积极影响。
