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）：本申请是英国老龄化纵向研究（艾尔莎）的竞争性更新。我们寻求部分资金，以设计和进行两波数据收集在五年内。我们将从英国来源提供同等的资金。艾尔莎是仿照美国健康和退休研究，增加了重要的生物医学，性能和心理社会措施。其主要目标是从50岁及以上英国人口的代表性样本中收集有关健康、残疾、经济、社会参与和网络的纵向数据。艾尔莎的价值因我们与HRS的合作而大大提高，使我们能够对美国和英国老年人的状况进行直接比较。在目前的资助周期结束时，我们将完成两波数据收集，包括生物医学数据，以及在英格兰健康调查中收集的早期数据。在未来五年，我们将： 1.设计进一步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、心理健康和心理社会风险因素。 2.继续测试问卷设计的创新，与HRS等合作研究分享创新。 3.在第三波招募一批年龄在50-54岁之间的新的受访者，以保持横截面的代表性，并研究社会和跨队列的趋势。 4.在艾尔莎的第3波和艾尔莎的第4波分别采访约11，200名受访者。 5.在2006年艾尔莎的第三波进行回顾性生命历程访谈。 6.收集2008年艾尔莎第4波调查中受访者的生物医学和身体表现数据。 7.构建五波可访问且记录良好的面板数据。 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HRS和其他国际研究保持密切联系，以最大限度地利用艾尔莎数据。
