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.

该中心的目标是促进在老龄化调查研究方面的国家和国际合作。CORE延续了密歇根州在亚洲、非洲和拉丁美洲向发展中国家拓展业务的长期传统，并建立在发达国家和美国最近开展的活动的基础上。CORE负责人Mary Beth Ofstedal拥有分析多个亚洲国家的健康和老龄化数据的丰富经验，也是健康和退休调查的联合调查员。拟议的活动包括：建立一个正式的网络，重点关注残疾趋势，主要是在美国，但在可能的情况下进行国际比较。残疾趋势网络的广泛目标是加快我们对老年残疾趋势的理解的科学进步。该网络将集中在三个领域：1) 更新趋势并协调各研究之间的差异，包括国际比较；2)确定趋势的原因；以及3)阐明趋势的影响。该网络将由Robert Schoeni领导，将有来自美国各地的调查人员参与，他们将通过一个专门的网站进行沟通和传播，每年举行一次会议，目标是将关于残疾趋势的协调出版物作为一份备受瞩目的期刊的特刊。 将侧重于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的几个国际网络：HRS/ELSA/SHARE；South 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、电话会议、面对面会议和工作访问，以探讨特定主题。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。
