DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The RAND Population Research Center (PRC) was established to address critical scientific and policy questions generated by major demographic changes, to apply the most rigorous, advanced research methods in studying those issues from a multidisciplinary perspective, and to disseminate its findings widely. To these ends, the Center has attracted and supported an established group of productive scholars whose research focuses on children and families, labor markets, socio-economic status and health. In addition, the collection of high-quality, often longitudinal, micro-data on individuals, families, and communities is an integral part of our research approach. In this R24 application, we propose to strengthen the PRC mission through two research support cores and one developmental infrastructure activity. An Administrative Core contributes to the efficient operation of PRC projects; facilitates communication among researchers and dissemination of results; enriches the research environment through seminars, workshops, and visiting scholars; and supports mentoring of junior staff. A Computing and Data Management Core increases the efficiency of research projects by providing services of common utility, including hardware and software, enhanced public-use files, and a secure data enclave. A seed grant program allows researchers to quickly demonstrate the feasibility and scientific rewards of a new method or research pursuit before applying for larger-scale, external support. Seed grant money is matched dollar for dollar by RAND funds.

描述（由申请人提供）：建立了RAND人口研究中心（PRC），以解决主要人口变化产生的关键科学和政策问题，以利用最严格，最先进的研究方法从多学科的角度研究这些问题，并广泛传播其发现。对于这些目的，该中心吸引并支持了一群成熟的生产学者，其研究重点关注儿童和家庭，劳动力市场，社会经济地位和健康。此外，对个人，家庭和社区的高质量（通常是纵向）的收集是我们研究方法不可或缺的一部分。在此R24应用程序中，我们建议通过两个研究支持核心和一项发展基础设施活动来加强中国任务。行政核心有助于中国项目的有效运营；促进研究人员之间的沟通并传播结果；通过研讨会，研讨会和访问学者丰富研究环境；并支持初级员工的指导。计算和数据管理核心通过提供共同实用程序的服务，包括硬件和软件，增强的公共使用文件以及安全的数据飞地，从而提高了研究项目的效率。种子赠款计划使研究人员能够在申请大规模的外部支持之前迅速证明新方法或研究追求的可行性和科学奖励。种子赠款的钱是由兰德资金匹配美元的美元。
