# NICHD POPULATION RESEARCH CENTER GRANT

## Abstract

The RAND Population Research Center (PRC) was established to address
critical scientific and policy questions generated by major demographic
changes in this country, to apply the most rigorous, advanced research
methods to study of those issues, and to disseminate its findings widely
to the research and policy communities.  This proposal describes the
history, objectives, and accomplishments of the PRC and presents its
research agenda for a third five-year funding cycle.

The PRC is proposing 13 projects, an Administrative Core, and a Data
Management, Computing, and Statistical Services Core.  Its research
program will be will be organized around four themes that are central to
the mission of the Center for Population Research, NICHD: Family and
Household Demography; Demography of Labor Markets; Women's Employment and
Family Formation; and Maternal and Child Well-Being.  Besides this
thematic coherence, the Center's proposed projects are also integrated
through their common approach to population studies.  That approach is
multidisciplinary; it uses microdata on individuals and families: and it
employs advanced statistical models to separate out effects that might
otherwise distort causal relationships in demographic phenomena.

At the core of the PRC is a group of productive researchers with national
reputations in their fields.  The Center aims to improve the quality and
productivity of PRC researchers through their membership in the Center.
It provides administrative, computing, statistical, and editorial support
services that help researchers use existing resources efficiently, and
improves the quality of the research produced.  The RAND Corporation
supplies administrative and computing resources to the Center, together
with specialized data management and bibliographic assistance.
