The goal of the Core is to foster national and international collaboration on survey research in aging. The Core continues a long-standing Michigan tradition of outreach to developing countries in Asia, Africa, and Latin America, and builds on more recent activities in developed countries and the U.S. The core leader, Mary Beth Ofstedal, has extensive experience analyzing data on health and aging from several Asian countries and is Co-Investigator on the Health and Retirement Survey. Activities that are proposed include: A formal network that will focus on disability trends, primarily in the United States but with international comparisons where possible. The broad objective of the Disability Trends Network is to accelerate scientific advancement of our understanding of old-age disability trends. The network will focus on three areas: 1) updating trends and reconciling differences across studies, including international comparisons; 2) determining the causes of the trends; and 3) articulating the implications of the trends. The network will be led by Robert Schoeni and will involve investigators from around the U.S. who will communicate and disseminate via a dedicated web site, meet once a year, and aim for a coordinated publication on disability trends as a special issue of a high-profile journal. Several international networks that will focus on survey design and comparative analysis on aging in developed and developing countries around the world: HRS/ELSA/SHARE; South Africa/Africa; Developing Countries Comparative; AIDS and older persons; Nepal; Developmental Idealism. Specific activities will include identification of members, conference calls, face-to-face meetings and working visits to explore specific topics. Network leaders will coordinate with the international comparative data resource project that is proposed in another Core.

该核心的目标是促进老龄化调查研究方面的国家和国际合作。该核心延续了密歇根州向亚洲、非洲和拉丁美洲发展中国家进行推广的长期传统，并以最近在发达国家和美国开展的活动为基础。核心领导者玛丽·贝思·奥夫斯泰达尔 (Mary Beth Ofstedal) 拥有分析多个亚洲国家健康和老龄化数据的丰富经验，并且是健康和退休调查的联合研究员。提议的活动包括： 建立一个正式的网络，重点关注残疾趋势，主要在美国，但尽可能进行国际比较。残疾趋势网络的总体目标是加速我们对老年残疾趋势的理解的科学进步。该网络将重点关注三个领域：1) 更新趋势并协调研究之间的差异，包括国际比较； 2）确定趋势的原因； 3) 阐明趋势的影响。该网络将由罗伯特·舍尼 (Robert Schoeni) 领导，将包括来自美国各地的调查人员，他们将通过专门的网站进行交流和传播，每年举行一次会议，并旨在以高知名度期刊的特刊形式协调出版有关残疾趋势的文章。 多个国际网络将重点关注世界各地发达国家和发展中国家老龄化问题的调查设计和比较分析：HRS/ELSA/SHARE；南 非洲/非洲；发展中国家比较；艾滋病与老年人；尼泊尔； 发展理想主义。具体活动将包括确定成员身份、电话会议、面对面会议以及探讨具体主题的工作访问。网络 领导人将与另一个核心中提出的国际比较数据资源项目进行协调。
