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.

项目摘要/摘要在加利福尼亚大学非常成功地启动了此培训计划之后伯克利，这个更新项目的目的是继续提供高级培训对研究生，博士后研究员和早期职业教师感兴趣的讲习班获得正式的删除技巧。正式的删除术由一组分析工具组成对于标准统计模型，不可能进行一种分析，因此至关重要在解决21世纪发生的复杂种群过程中。我们建造关于第一个5年周期的成功，并通过年度介绍新的研讨会内容选择将正式删除术与重要和新兴的新兴联系人联系起来的特殊强调主题人口研究领域。从教学上讲，我们将通过添加前工厂远程学习，现场团队项目和新一代讲师。拟议的计划由三周的指导独立研究组成研讨会是伯克利的为期一周的研讨会 - 三天的培训，然后是两天研究会议；以及美国人口协会的年度网络活动会议。核心培训的三天将包括有关人口动态的指导和现代人口计算中的动手培训（在R统计建模语言中）。一个第三天将包括特定于当年特别重点主题的培训和方法。这些讲习班不仅是训练场，而且为网络和建立关系和社区。在一周中，学员也将工作在小组项目上为他们提供充分的数据和方法的实践经验，以及这些项目的结果在研讨会的最后一天提出。涵盖的主题研讨会包括在生育能力的数学建模中延续核心主题和死亡率，随着传染性疾病的种群模型中的新主题，气候变化对删除和数字删除的影响。这些要素 - 培训，研究演示，小组项目，网络 - 努力创建一个长期的社区可以在未来几年进行跨学科研究的学者。这样我们期望这些研究的主题将有助于为人口统计学和社会科学研究提供信息并对人口健康政策产生积极影响。
