Core D: External Research and Dissemination Core

项目总结： 摘要 这一新提议的核心将支持“数据和测量领域的创新协作”的工作。 老龄化“(CIDMA)是芝加哥大学(UChicago)健康银研究中心的研究人员合作的结果。 ING行为和纵向调查(夏布利斯)和杜克人口健康和老龄化中心 (CPHA)。该协作核心将识别、设计、实施和评估数据收集和 用于当前和未来以数据为重点的老龄化研究的测量。这些数据收集方面的创新 和测量将侧重于以下问题：(A)调整测量认知和 大脑功能从实验室到实地环境；(B)扩大以场所为基础的个人活动研究 及其对从城市到农村的健康和福祉的影响；以及(C)评估如何改善-- 证明从医院和以人口为基础的集合中收集调查数据和健康记录数据- Tings，特别强调开发方法，以改善学科的招募和保留以及使用 建立信任的适应性同意程序。CIDMA进行的评估将迅速 从设计到传播其调查结果的转变(因此，我们将其称为快速评估)。这些 快速评估将侧重于制定具有成本效益的措施和方法 将在一系列环境中实施，特别是在人口研究的“实地”环境中。最重要的是- CIDMA的BERS将在这些任务上合作，利用他们的特殊专业知识和经验- 在老龄化研究中数据收集的重要性。该核心还将传播和教育研究通讯-- 关于它的调查结果。它将继续努力传播其调查结果，并在以下方面建立对话： 研究人员和调查操作专业人员之间的关系，以及他们在现有和未来研究中的应用。 该核心还将举办两个暑期研习班和一个项目结束专题讨论会/讲习班，以培训和教育-- Cate下一代研究人员和数据收集专业人员在老龄化研究中。 1

Project Summary: Abstract This new proposed Core will support the work of the “Collaborative for Innovation in Data & Measurement in Aging” (CIDMA) a collaboration of researchers at the University of Chicago (UChicago) Center for Healthy Ag- ing Behaviors and Longitudinal InvestigationS (CHABLIS)and the Duke Center for Population Health and Aging (CPHA). This Collaborative Core will identify, design, conduct and assess innovations in data collection and measurement for use in current and future data-focused studies of aging. These innovations in data collection and measurement will be focused on the following issues: (a) adapting methods for measuring cognition and brain functioning from laboratory to field settings; (b) extending place-based studies of activities of individuals and their consequences for health and well-being from urban to rural settings; and (c) assessing ways to im- prove the collection of survey data and data from health records in both hospital- and population-based set- tings, with special emphasis on developing methods to improve subject recruitment and retention and the use of adaptive consenting processes to establish trust. The assessments conducted by CIDMA will have rapid turnaround, from design to dissemination of its findings (thus, we refer to them as Rapid Assessments). These Rapid Assessments will be focused on developing measures and methods that are cost-effective and that can be implemented in a range of settings, especially those “in the field” for population-based studies. The mem- bers of CIDMA will work collaboratively on these tasks, drawing on both their particular expertise and experi- ence in data collection in studies of aging. This Core also will disseminate and educate the research commu- nity on its findings. It will maintain an on-going dissemination effort of its findings and create a dialogue be- tween researchers and survey operations professionals, and their application to existing and future studies. This Core also will conduct two summer institutes and an end-of-project symposium/workshop to train and edu- cate the next generation of researchers and data collection professionals in the study of aging. 1
