 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application describes our plans to continue the successful development of the Institute for Population Research [IPR] at Ohio State University as an interdisciplinary population science center. Defining features of IPR are: (i) Encouragement of the application to population phenomena of theory and models from multiple disciplines, resulting in far richer and more informative conceptualizations; (ii) Active support o innovative research methodologies which derive from rapidly emerging new research technologies; (iii) Favoring of collaborative research which crosses disciplinary boundaries, and research by junior scholars; (iv) Investment of maximum resources in new population science projects and, corresponding, a slim and efficient administrative structure. IPR consists of three research infrastructure cores: Administrative Core; Development Core; Data & Computing Core. The Administrative Core will handle all routine administrative tasks required to maintain IPR's ambitious and diverse program of activities and services. The largest administrative assignment is management of the IPR Seed Grant Program, an activity of the Development Core. The Administrative Core will also handle essential administrative tasks that include maintaining the IPR Database, conducting an annual evaluation of IPR's success in meeting the goals specified in this application, disseminating research findings, and other routine administration. The Development Core is the heart of IPR, as judged by its contribution to achieving the goals specified above and, more concretely, as judged by the allocation of IPR resources. In addition to the large IPR Seed Grant Program, this core will sponsor working groups, the weekly IPR Seminar, and didactic workshops. Jointly with the Administrative Core, it will offer IPR affiliates substantial assistance in constructing and submitting applications for external funding, and it wil ensure that IPR affiliates are compliant with regulations regarding the conduct of research and the public accessibility of research results. The Data & Computing Core is new. This core is designed to assist IPR affiliates in taking full advantage of innovations in data collection, data management, and high-end computing which open new doors for population science. A new staff position Data & Computing Manager will be created. IPR will offer data and computing services to assist affiliates in making best use of new masses of data and new technologies to gain better understanding of population and health outcomes. Our assessment is that IPR can be of maximum added value to OSU population scientists in two respects: first, by providing resources to get new projects off the ground; second, by directing these scientists to opportunities of which they may be unaware and/or assisting them in taking advantage of these opportunities. The first is achieved via the IPR Seed Grant Program and related activities/services. The second will be achieved via the new Data & Computing Core.

 描述（由应用程序提供）：本申请描述了我们的计划，旨在继续在俄亥俄州立大学作为跨学科人口科学中心成功发展人口研究所[IPR]。 IPR的定义特征是：（i）鼓励多个学科的理论和模型人口现象的应用，从而导致更丰富，更有信息的概念化； （ii）积极支持创新的研究方法，这些方法源自迅速发展的新研究技术； （iii）有利于跨学科界限的合作研究和初中学者的研究； （iv）在新的人口科学项目中最大资源的投资，以及相应的纤细和有效的行政结构。 IPR由三个研究基础设施核心组成：行政核心；发展核心；数据和计算核心。管理核心将处理维护IPR雄心勃勃的潜水活动活动和服务计划所需的所有常规管理任务。最大的行政分配是IPR Seed Grant计划的管理，这是开发核心的活动。行政核心还将处理基本的行政任务，包括维护知识产权数据库，对知识产权在实现本申请中指定的目标，传播研究结果和其他常规管理方面的成功评估。发展核心是知识产权的核心，这是根据其对实现上述目标的贡献所判断的，并且更具体地说，根据IPR资源的分配来判断。除了大型知识产权种子赠款计划外，该核心还将赞助工作组，每周的IPR研讨会和教学研讨会。它将与行政核心共同提供IPR分支机构 在构建和提交外部资金申请方面的大力帮助，它将确保知识产权分支机构符合有关研究的进行和公共研究结果的法规。数据和计算核心是新的。该核心旨在帮助知识产权分支机构充分利用数据收集，数据管理和高端计算的创新，这些计算为人口科学开辟了新的大门。将创建一个新的员工职位数据和计算管理器。 IPR将提供数据和计算服务，以帮助分支机构充分利用新的数据和新技术，以更好地了解人口和健康成果。我们的评估是，IPR在两个方面可能对OSU人口科学家具有最大的增加价值：首先，提供资源以使新项目脱离地面；其次，通过将这些科学家引导到他们可能不知道和/或协助他们利用这些机会的机会。第一个是通过知识产权种子赠款计划和相关活动/服务实现的。第二个将通过新的数据和计算核心实现。
