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.

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。核心项目延续了密歇根长期以来向亚洲、非洲和拉丁美洲的发展中国家拓展的传统，并以最近在发达国家和美国开展的活动为基础。核心项目的负责人玛丽•贝丝•奥夫斯泰德（Mary Beth Ofstedal）在分析几个亚洲国家的健康和老龄化数据方面拥有丰富的经验，是健康和退休调查的共同调查员。建议的活动包括：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速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方面：1)
