Applicants may propose educational programs that: facilitate the development of interdisciplinary scientists or the conduct of interdisciplinary science related to population;
Examples of educational programs appropriate under this announcement include, but are not limited to: Summer (or semester) programs to engage students from fields not currently well integrated in population research in order to advance the development of interdisciplinary scholars in fields that have the potential to enrich and advance population research. Limited cross-training to expose population scientists to the core theories, knowledge, and methods of other disciplines, e.g., epidemiology, public health, endocrinology, anthropology, genetics or cognitive sciences. While not providing full training in these areas of science, such training would help to prepare scientists to participate effectively in cross-disciplinary work.
Education and training in the application of new methodological approaches (e.g., spatial analysis, ethnography, social network analysis, and advanced statistical methods) to population
research. Interactive, hands-on training in the use of complex datasets from specific studies.
Education and training on techniques to maximize the accessibility and/or protect the confidentiality of data included in public-use files. Workshops to provide training on topics in formal or mathematical demography that are not provided at individual institutions.
Areas of particular interest to NICHD include race and ethnic studies, health, sexuality, neuroeconomics, and behavioral genetics, but the engagement of students in other fields would also be appropriate as justified by the potential for advancing population research through cross-disciplinary collaboration. Programs may target students at the upper undergraduate to post-doctoral levels at the same or other institutions. They would expose participating students to the concepts of population research, the challenges and rewards of interdisciplinary work, and role models who are engaged in interdisciplinary research. They would be designed to reach new investigators before their career trajectories are set and to enhance their interest in and skills for future interdisciplinary research. Outreach to minority institutions is strongly encouraged in recruiting for these programs.
FUNDING
This PAR will use the NIH Education Project (R25) award mechanism. The total project period for an application submitted in response to this funding opportunity may not exceed five years. Although the size of award may vary with the scope of the research education program proposed, it is expected that applications will stay within the following budgetary guidelines: although total direct costs are not capped, budget requests of more that $165,000 per year must be full justified.
