# POPULATION STUDIES CENTER

> **NIH NIH P30** · UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN AT ANN ARBOR · 1994 · $818,498

## Abstract

Since the last review of NICHD, the Population Studies Center has
strengthened its traditional research areas while expanding rapidly in new
directions.  There has been substantial growth in the Center's
international work and in interdisciplinary research on domestic social and
policy aspects of the population.  The dollar volume of funded research at
the Center has grown by about 50% since the last competitive review by
NICHD.  These advances have not gone unnoticed by the University, which has
increased institutional support for the Center over the past five years.

Developments in computing have facilitated research and will facilitate it
further in the next period.  Non-NICHD funding will allow the Center to
obtain the hardware necessary to develop a state-of-the-art computing
environment that will combine a network of powerful desktop workstations
with extensive on-line data archives.  NICHD is being asked for funds for
the personnel, software, and maintenance necessary to make this system
maximally useful to Center researchers.  The Data Processing, Data Archive,
and Library Cores are directly involved in making this system a national
model for social science research.

In the renewal period, we request that the six existing cores -
Administrative, Publications, Library, Data Processing, Data Archive, and
Statistical Consulting - be maintained and strengthened, commensurate with
the growing volume of research and the special demands of new international
and interdisciplinary projects.

We plan to meet our needs in a cost-effective manner.  Our senior support
staff are highly experienced and among the best in the field.  To lessen
the new demands on our highly qualified and experienced senior support
staff, we plan to add a few highly-trained support staff members, and also
some lower-level staff who will handle routine matters.  We also plan to
improve our cores so that researchers can obtain more of the assistance
that they require on their own.  One example is increased computerization
and integration of the holdings of the Data Archive and the Library.
Although well-trained staff members are available to help, the researcher
can obtain answers to many questions at any hour of the day or night by
consulting established files.
