DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Population Research Center (PRC) of the University of Texas at Austin (UT) requests a 7th renewal of its T32 NICHD Training Grant in Population Studies. The PRC has outstanding research and training programs addressing a broad array of health-related issues. Its focus falls particularly in five thematic areas: Health Disparities; Parenting, Partnering, and Human Development; Educational Inequality and Opportunity; and Socioeconomic Inequality and Work. Building on our recent growth and tremendous productivity, the proposed training program seeks to enlarge and academically broaden our current program by requesting funding to support six pre-doctoral trainees (from five) and two post-doctoral trainees (at 2 currently) to be shared among the departments of Sociology, Human Development and Family Sciences (HDFS), and the LBJ School of Public Affairs. The PRC offers an outstanding training environment, and the center's accomplishments are evidenced by: a) the very enthusiastic response to our recent R24 center grant renewal; b) a grant portfolio that is, by far, the largest in PRC history; c) the significant number of new faculy members who are active and productive members; d) our research productivity in terms of journal articles, books, chapters, and conference presentations; e) the training program's success in recruiting minority faculty and students, and f) our recent substantial successes in placing our graduates in leading academic, postdoctoral, and research positions throughout the country. The proposed addition of a sixth predoctoral trainee is consistent with the broadening of our training program to include Public Affairs. This reflects the increasingly interdisciplinary nature of population research at the PRC and throughout the discipline. The PRC has a very productive and academically broad group of researchers, with the greatest concentration in the Department of Sociology and HDFS, respectively. Recent recruiting success across campus, however, has increased participation by faculty in the departments of Public Affairs, Economics, and Psychology. The student talent at the PRC is extensive and diverse, with a current cadre of 64 pre-doctoral trainees from Sociology, HDFS, and Public Affairs participating in the PRC's graduate training program. This application outlines the structure of the training program, including coursework and ethics training, and the PRC's outstanding record in the professional development and training of minority scholars. In sum, we request support to continue our success in serving the PRC training mission to generate highly trained, and highly ethical, researchers in Population Studies.

描述（由申请人提供）：德克萨斯大学奥斯汀分校（UT）的人口研究中心（PRC）要求在人口研究中对其T32 NICHD培训补助金进行第七次续签。中国制定了杰出的研究和培训计划，以解决各种与健康有关的问题。它的重点尤其是在五个主题领域：健康差异；育儿，伙伴和人类发展；教育不平等和机会；以及社会经济不平等和工作。拟议的培训计划以我们最近的增长和巨大的生产力为基础，旨在通过要求资金支持六名博士前学员（来自五名）和两名博士后学员（目前为2名），以扩大和扩大我们的目前计划，以在社会学，发展和家庭科学和家庭科学（HDFS）之间共享，并在lbj的社会发展和家庭科学学院中共享。中国提供了出色的培训环境，该中心的成就得到了以下方面的证明： b）迄今为止，赠款投资组合是中国历史上最大的； c）大量活跃和生产成员的新成员数量大量； d）在期刊文章，书籍，章节和会议演讲方面，我们的研究生产力； e）培训计划在招募少数群体和学生方面的成功，f）我们最近在将毕业生带入领先的学术，博士后和研究职位方面取得了巨大成功。提议的第六次培训前培训生的提议与我们的培训计划扩大以包括公共事务相一致。这反映了越来越多的跨学科 中国和整个学科的人口研究的性质。中国有一群非常富有成效的研究人员，分别在社会学和HDFS部门中最集中。然而，最近在校园中招募成功的招募已经增加了教师在公共事务，经济学和心理学系中的参与。中国的学生才华横溢且多样化，目前由社会学，HDFS和公共事务的64名博士前学员组成的干部，参加了中国的研究生培训计划。该应用程序概述了培训计划的结构，包括课程和道德培训，以及中国在少数族裔学者的专业发展和培训方面的杰出记录。总而言之，我们请求支持继续我们的成功培训任务，以产生训练有素的人口研究研究人员。
