Coordinating Center for the NICHD Population Dynamics Centers Research Infrastructure Program FY 2023 (R24 Clinical Trial Not Allowed)

The purpose of this funding announcement is to support a coordinating center for the NICHD Population Dynamics Centers Research Infrastructure Program (PDRIP). The PDRIP is comprised of recipients that have active support from RFA-HD-18-013, RFA-HD-19-014, RFA-HD-20-015, RFA-HD-21-010, RFA-HD-22-013, and predecessor and successor announcements.

This funding announcement has two primary objectives:

• To improve the translation and dissemination of significant peer-reviewed findings, methods, and perspectives from population dynamics research to multiple audiences, including population dynamics scientists, other scientists, and non-scientists such as policy makers, program directors, practitioners, educators, and students.
• To improve coordination and cooperation across the PDRIP to enhance the productivity and scientific impact of the PDRIP and of population dynamics research overall.

By fulfilling these objectives, the coordinating center will increase the productivity of the program and individual population dynamics researchers by reducing the amount of time centers and researchers spend on these activities, thus freeing up time for research, research training, and research development. This funding announcement is also meant to improve the quality and impact of dissemination activities by providing translational expertise that is unlikely to be available to individual centers within the PDRIP or individual population dynamics research projects. Many universities/institutions and centers have effective processes for disseminating their own research findings. Nonetheless, to date, no processes have been developed by individual centers or member organizations that effectively synthesize PDB-supported research and disseminate the findings to broad audiences.
