## Abstract

Abstract
The Center for Studies in Demography & Ecology (CSDE) requests renewal of its five-year research center
infrastructure award (previously an R24). CSDE is a community of faculty and students associated to advance
population science through research and training. CSDE scientists develop new demographic measures and
methods, advance knowledge about population dynamics, generate new data and evidence to support
population science inquiries, and train the next generation of demographers. CSDE aims to advance the
scientific understanding of human population dynamics and processes, especially as they relate to five Primary
Research Areas (PRA) where CSDE affiliates are making significant population science contributions: (1)
Demographic Measurements and Methods, (2) Environments and Populations, (3) Health of People and
Populations, (4) Migrations and Settlements, and (5) Wellbeing of Families and Households. CSDE provides
an intellectual home for collaborating and learning through its weekly seminar series, training program,
workshops, program specific activities organized by the executive leadership team and PRA Chairs, staffing
support for logistics, real and virtual meeting space, and information sharing. CSDE seeks to provide the very
best support for all aspects of research administration from project inception to completion and allow
investigators to spend more time on their research. CSDE advances population science through expert
consultation on every stage of science and easy access to cutting-edge facilities that place CSDE affiliate
researchers work at the very forefront of their fields, including high performance computing, a biodemography
laboratory, and a secure federal statistics data enclave. CSDE develops population science at the UW with its
investments in: (1) opportunities and venues for intellectual exchanges and advancing affiliates’ research, (2)
early career scientists’ research and (3) innovative multi-investigator faculty research initiatives with potential
for high reward results significantly advancing population science. CSDE fosters novel approaches for
advancing population science through its faculty and staff whose methodological prowess includes expertise in
Biodemography, Data Science and Demography, Spatial Demography, and Statistical Demography. The UW
values CSDE greatly and provides $733,205 annually through financial support from the UW Office of
Research, College of Art and Sciences, and five other colleges, schools, and initiatives. This annual support
totals $3.7 million over five years. Additionally, the UW provides $280,000 worth of facilities and physical
infrastructure. These contributions represent a 50% increase in commitment from five years ago and reflect the
UW’s recognition of CSDE’s productivity, innovation, and impact.
