SCIENTIFIC AND TECHNICAL CORE: PROJECT SUMMARY The Scientific and Technical Core (STC) provides the technological and methodological infrastructure that enables Population Research Center (PRC) faculty scholars to achieve breakthroughs in population dynamics research. Activities in this Core are organized around three aims. Aim 1 is to provide exceptional statistical and data science services through a newly created Social and Behavioral Statistics and Data Science Hub. Aim 2 is to maintain a secure information technology infrastructure for data access and storage through the Information Technology Hub. Aim 3 is to advance research innovation in the population sciences through a series of workshops that will promote emerging research methodologies. This Core allows Faculty Scholars to bring the ideas in their funded proposals from vision to reality by providing the technical and computational infrastructure needed to collect, manage, analyze, visualize, and disseminate their findings.
