Abstract

Project Summary/Abstract PRB will maintain a Coordinating Center for the NICHD Population Dynamics Centers Research Infrastructure Programs to improve the translation and dissemination of population dynamics research findings and methods in a cost-effective and efficient manner. The Coordinating Center will promote policy-relevant research on demography, reproductive health, and population health to a broad audience of stakeholders who can use the information for decision making. In addition, the Coordinating Center will foster cooperation activities and communication across NICHD Population Dynamics Centers to enhance the productivity and scientific impact of both the Centers themselves and population dynamics research overall. The Coordinating Center will accomplish these objectives through a complementary set of activities: 1) Maintaining a multi-Center website that explains and publicizes the findings of research from the Population Dynamics Research Centers; 2) Disseminating research through a series of eight concise, online articles, or “Research Highlights” during the project period; 3) Using social media to connect with Center researchers and promote their findings to a broad audience; 4) Distributing a quarterly e-newsletter that highlights research news from the Centers, information about new Center grants, and funding opportunities; 5) Organizing two webinars focused on communicating research results to journalists and other nontechnical audiences; and 6) Requesting feedback from population dynamics researchers on Coordinating Center activities.
