Core B: Program Development The Duke Center on the Demography of Aging will promote a highly synergistic and interdisciplinary environment to foster important research breakthroughs particulariy 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. As part of its Program Development Core, 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. These will be tenure-track positions each funded for five years. This Core also supports the Center's Pilot Project program. Three examples of pilot project research are included in the Duke application, with one project focusing on eariy life determinants of later life health in China, and the other two projects researching biomarkers of aging and decision-making in Indonesia and Mexico. Other topics that are central to the Duke Center's research program and for which pilot research projects may be funded include: male-female differences in health and survival, the genetics of aging, new approaches to mortality and morbidity forecasting, mathematical and statistical methods for estimating age when age is not known, and mathematical and statistical analyses of tempo and other distortions of mortality and morbidity rates when health conditions are changing. The work performed in Core B will foster new young faculty and will advance research in the critically important areas of the biodemography of aging and in the mathematical and statistical demography of aging

核心B：计划开发 杜克大学衰老人口统计学中心将促进高度协同和跨学科 在生物学和生物医学领域促进重要研究突破的环境 衰老的人口统计（又称衰老的生物人口统计学）以及在开发和应用中 创新的数学和统计人口统计学工具以及数据的方法。作为计划的一部分 发展核心，该中心将帮助在杜克大学建立两个新的教师职位，其中一位是助手 教授专注于生物人口统计学，另一个是具有专业知识的助理教授 数学和统计人口统计学。这些将是终身制职位，每个职位均资助五年。 该核心还支持该中心的试点项目计划。试点项目研究的三个例子是 包括在杜克大学申请中 中国以及其他两个研究印度尼西亚和决策生物标志物的项目 墨西哥。杜克中心研究计划和试点研究的其他主题 项目可能会提供资金包括：男女在健康和生存方面的差异，衰老的遗传学，新的 死亡率和发病率预测的方法，数学和统计方法估计年龄 当年龄尚不清楚，以及节奏的数学和统计分析以及其他死亡率的扭曲 健康状况发生变化时的发病率。 在核心B中执行的工作将培养新的年轻教师，并将在批判性地进行研究 衰老生物人口统计学的重要领域以及衰老的数学和统计人群
