Project Summary/Abstract for the Center for Aging and Policy Studies (CAPS) The overarching goal of the Center for Aging and Policy Studies (CAPS) is to improve the health, well-being, and independence of older adults by directly addressing some of today’s most pressing issues facing middle- age and older adults and the families that care for them. Scientific research at CAPS focuses on two signature themes of health and well-being and family and intergenerational supports and three cross-cutting themes of policy, place, and specific populations. These signature themes are long-standing and essential areas of study, while the cross-cutting themes have emerged as critical determinants of older adult health, well-being, and independence. Significantly, by emphasizing policy and place as cross-cutting themes, CAPS brings a distinctive and vital dimension to the NIA Centers on the Demography and Economics of Aging program. The innovative organizational approach of CAPS provides a firm foundation for achieving its overarching goal. First, CAPS will use a hub-and-spoke operational model encompassing three R1 institutions in Upstate New York with a long history of collaboration on the demography and economics of aging. Syracuse University will serve as the hub, with nearby Cornell University and the University at Albany–State University of New York as the spokes. Guided by state-of-the-art principles of collaborative management, this model combines the benefits of both a brick-and-mortar Center and a virtual network that is nimble, cost-effective, and wide-reaching. Second, CAPS will have a strong, multi-disciplinary, five-person leadership team comprised of scientific leaders experienced in directing NIH-funded Centers and cross-site programs. Third, CAPS will offer a strategically selected and tightly coordinated set of activities across its Administrative Core, Pilot Core, and Dissemination Core. CAPS will achieve its goal through three overall specific aims. Aim 1 is to foster innovative and interdisciplinary research on CAPS signature and cross-cutting themes. CAPS will achieve this aim through multiple dynamic activities, including its integrated pilot project program; teaming program featuring a research incubator; and visiting scholars program. Aim 2 is to enhance human capital in population-based aging research among emerging, underrepresented, and established scholars. CAPS will provide numerous opportunities for scientific development among CAPS affiliates and non-affiliates, including an onsite-online colloquium series, grant writing workshops, and workshops on new methods related to CAPS thematic areas. Aim 3 is to advance understanding of the latest population-based aging research by disseminating findings and data resources to scientists, practitioners, decision makers, and the public. CAPS will draw on the communications expertise at its three sites, and their extensive social media reach, to disseminate information that is timely and broadly accessible. Contributing to the greater scientific enterprise, CAPS will promote the use of its primary data collection through data user sessions at national conferences and by coordinating with other NIA-funded Centers to link CAPS place-based data to existing survey data on older adults.

老龄化和政策研究中心(CAPS)项目摘要/摘要 老龄化和政策研究中心(CAPS)的首要目标是改善健康、福祉、 和老年人的独立性，通过直接解决当今面临的一些最紧迫的问题-- 老年人和老年人以及照顾他们的家庭。CAPS的科学研究重点是两个签名 健康和福祉、家庭和代际支助主题以及三个跨领域主题 政策、地点和特定人群。这些标志性的主题是长期存在的和必不可少的领域 研究表明，虽然交叉主题已成为老年人健康、幸福、 和独立性。值得注意的是，通过强调政策和地方作为交叉主题，CAPS带来了 NIA人口统计学和老龄经济中心项目的独特和重要的方面。这个 CAPS的创新组织方法为实现其总体目标提供了坚实的基础。第一, CAPS将使用中心辐射式运营模式，包括纽约州北部的三家R1机构， 在人口统计学和老龄化经济学方面的合作历史悠久。锡拉丘兹大学将作为 中心，附近的康奈尔大学和奥尔巴尼大学-纽约州立大学作为辐条。 在最先进的协作管理原则指导下，该模型结合了 实体中心和灵活、经济实惠且覆盖范围广泛的虚拟网络。第二，上限 将拥有一支强大的、多学科的五人领导团队，由在以下方面经验丰富的科学领导者组成 指导美国国立卫生研究院资助的中心和跨站点项目。第三，CAPS将提供经过战略选择和紧密结合的 协调其行政核心、试点核心和传播核心的一系列活动。CAPS将 通过三个总体的具体目标实现其目标。目标1是促进创新和跨学科研究 关于CAPS签名和交叉主题。履约协助方案将通过多项动态活动实现这一目标， 包括其综合试点项目计划；以研究孵化器为特色的合作计划；以及访问 学者计划。目标2是在新兴人口老龄化研究中加强人力资本， 代表性不足，有地位的学者。CAPS将为科学研究提供大量机会 CAPS附属机构和非附属机构之间的发展，包括现场在线座谈会系列、赠款撰写 讲习班，以及与履约协助方案主题领域有关的新方法讲习班。目标3是增进理解 通过向科学家传播研究结果和数据资源，了解最新的基于人口老龄化的研究， 从业者、决策者和公众。CAPS将利用其三个地点的通信专业知识， 以及它们广泛的社交媒体覆盖范围，以传播及时和广泛可访问的信息。 为更大的科学事业作出贡献，履约协助方案将通过以下方式促进其主要数据收集的使用 在国家会议上举行数据用户会议，并与其他由国家臭氧机构资助的中心协调，将履约协助方案联系起来 将基于地点的数据添加到现有的老年人调查数据中。
