# POPULATION RESEARCH CENTER GRANT

> **NIH NIH P30** · UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA · 1994 · $470,118

## Abstract

The principal goal of the Population Studies Center is to increase the
quantity and improve the quality of population research conducted at
Penn.  To do this, it provides a setting, within the School of Arts and
Sciences, for the interchange of information about current research and
research opportunities; core facilities on which individuals can rely for
assistance in conducting research; an institutional structure that can
represent the interests of population researchers in discussions about
the allocation of resources within the University as well as
extramurally; and a program intended to attract visitors with special
knowledge of techniques, data, and research findings that can enhance the
capabilities of Center researchers and suggest new directions for
research.  The PSC is associated with a strong training program for pre-
doctoral students and postdoctoral fellows who frequently act as junior
colleagues.

This application requests continuation of the P30 Center Core Grant that
provides most of the support for the core facilities cited above.  The
three cores are Administrative, Computer and Library. Over the last five
years, the program of funded research has more than doubled.  The Cores
now support the competitively awarded grants of 35 research associates.
We therefore request continuation of these three cores with increased
personnel resources.  The greatest increase requested is for the Computer
Core, so that PSC researchers can have access to a greatly improved
computing environment that will enhance their productivity.
