UK POPULATION LAB INNOVATION DEVELOPMENT GRANT

这项建议包括五个工作包，旨在加强对社会的具体方面的了解：英国家庭纵向研究，以及为更广泛的纵向研究发展综合和分享经验教训。了解社会是一个巨大的纵向资源，对广泛的英国和国际学者、学生、政府、公民社会和企业的研究人员来说是有价值的。这项研究是多主题的，具有一些使其成为独特资源的关键特征：收集所有年龄段的人的年度数据，以便分析整个人口的短期动态；收集长期的数据，以便分析生命过程的变化；包括家庭的所有成员，以便能够探索家庭的相互关系和联系；来自英国所有四个国家的大样本，这意味着可以研究非常特定的人口亚群，并调查政策变化的影响；纳入生物测量、生物标记、遗传和表观遗传学信息；这项申请中提议的项目包括调查了解协会用于队列分析和关于出生和早期生活的研究的使用情况；进一步提高了解协会的代表性，为研究中的“失踪人口”研究创造机会；整合调查和行政数据的价值和挑战；调查设计的创新(如混合模式、使用激励措施、与社交媒体的联系)；建议的工作包包括：回顾和综合文献，进行理解社会的实证分析，咨询专家用户，进行定性研究，以探索和改进未来研究的设计。在整个工作方案中，产出将包括两份思考报告、八份经验报告(四份定性报告和四份基于对研究的描述性分析)、三份方法简报、一份地理资源清单和一份实质性的方法学审查文件。对于每个工作方案，将在2019年3月底提供一份简短的中期总结，所有最终产出将在2019年6月底之前完成。随后，一些报告和简报将作为理解协会的工作文件发表在我们的网站上和/或同行评议期刊上。来自共享关怀研究项目的定性数据将存放在英国数据服务中。所有这项研究的经验教训将被纳入未来理解社会的发展中。

This proposal includes five work packages that are aimed at enhancing specific aspects of Understanding Society: the UK Household Longitudinal Study, and synthesising and sharing lessons for the development of longitudinal studies more generally. Understanding Society is a large longitudinal resource of value to a wide range of UK and international academics, students, researchers in government, civic society and businesses. The Study is multi-topic, and has some key features which make it a unique resource: the collection of annual data on people of all ages allowing analysis of short term dynamics for the whole population; data collection over a long period permitting analysis of life course changes; including all members of the household so family inter-relations and connectedness can be explored; a large sample size from all four countries of the UK, meaning that very specific subgroups of the population can be studied and the impacts of policy variation investigated; the inclusion of biomeasures, biomarkers, genetic and epigenetic information; and, additional boost samples on immigrant and ethnic minority groups.The projects proposed in this application, include investigating the use of Understanding Society for cohort analysis and for research around birth and early life; further improving the representativeness of Understanding Society and creating opportunities for research on 'missing populations' within the Study; the value and challenges of integrating survey and administrative data; innovation in survey design (such as mixed modes, use of incentives, linkage to social media);and, innovation in content around key life events an d separating parents.The proposed work packages involve: reviewing and synthesising literature, undertaking empirical analysis of Understanding Society, consulting expert users, conducting qualitative research to explore and improve the design of the study going forward. Across the work packages outputs will include two think pieces, eight empirical reports (four qualitative reports and four based on descriptive analyses of the Study), three methods briefings, a list of geographical resources, and a substantial methodological review paper. For each work package a short interim summary will be provided at the end of March 2019 and all final outputs will be produced by the end of June 2019. Subsequently, some of the reports and briefings will be published as Understanding Society working papers on our website, and/or in peer review journals. The qualitative data from the shared care research project will be deposited in the UK Data Service.Lessons from all of this research will be built into the development of Understanding Society going forward.
