DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application is for a competing renewal of the English Longitudinal Study of Aging (ELSA). We seek partial funding to design and conduct two waves of data collection over a five-year period. We will match this funding with equivalent funding from British sources. ELSA has been modeled on the US Health and Retirement Study, with the important addition of biomedical, performance and psychosocial measures. Its primary objective is to collect longitudinal data on health, disability, economics, and social participation and networks, from a representative sample of the English population aged 50 and older. The value of ELSA is greatly enhanced by our collaboration with the HRS, giving the ability to conduct direct comparisons between the situation of older people in the US and the UK. At the end of the current funding cycle we will have completed two waves of data collection, including biomedical data and in addition to an earlier wave of data collected at a Health Survey for England contact. Over the next five years we will: 1. Design the survey instruments for further waves of data collection, covering economics, social participation and networks, health, functional ability, cognitive function, psychological well-being, and psychosocial risk factors. 2. Continue to test innovations in questionnaire design, sharing innovations with collaborative studies, such as the HRS. 3. Recruit a new cohort of respondents aged 50-54, at wave 3, in order to maintain cross-sectional representativeness and to study social and cross-cohort trends. 4. Interview approximately 11,200 respondents at wave 3 of ELSA and 10,200 respondents at wave 4 of ELSA. 5. Conduct a retrospective life course interview at wave 3 of ELSA in 2006. 6. Collect biomedical and physical performance data from respondents at wave 4 of ELSA in 2008. 7. Construct five waves of accessible and well-documented panel data. 8. Provide these data in a convenient and timely way to the scientific and policy research community. 9. Continue to liaise closely with the HRS and other international studies to maximize the utility of ELSA data.

描述(由申请人提供)：本申请是关于英语老龄化纵向研究(ELSA)的竞争性续期申请。我们寻求部分资金，在五年内设计和进行两波数据收集。我们将把这笔资金与来自英国的同等资金相匹配。ELSA以美国健康和退休研究为蓝本，增加了重要的生物医学、绩效和心理社会措施。它的主要目标是从50岁及以上的英国人口中收集关于健康、残疾、经济、社会参与和网络的纵向数据。通过与HRS的合作，ELSA的价值得到了极大的提升，使我们能够直接比较美国和英国老年人的情况。在当前资金周期结束时，我们将完成两波数据收集，包括生物医学数据，以及早先在英格兰联系人健康调查中收集的数据。在未来五年，我们会： 1.设计下一波数据收集的调查工具，涵盖经济、社会参与和网络、健康、功能能力、认知功能、心理幸福感和心理社会风险因素。 2.继续测试问卷设计的创新，与合作研究(如HRS)分享创新。 3.在第三波招募50-54岁的新一批答复者，以保持跨界别代表性，并研究社会和跨群体趋势。 4.在ELSA的第三波调查中采访了大约11,200名受访者，在ELSA的第四波调查中采访了10,200名受访者。 5.于2006年在ELSA的第3波进行了一次回顾人生历程的访谈。 6.在2008年ELSA第四波会议上收集受访者的生物医学和身体表现数据。 7.构建五波可获得且有充分记录的面板数据。 8.以方便和及时的方式向科学和政策研究界提供这些数据。 9.继续与人权状况评估和其他国际研究密切联系，以最大限度地利用ELSA数据。
