The Center on Population Health and Aging (CPHA) will provide a synergistic environment supporting research on the challenges of a growing and diverse older population. CPHA's specific aims are to: 1) encourage innovative collaborative research on the health and well-being of the older population; 2) address opportunities to develop interdisciplinary research, 3) provide mechanisms for scientific exchange and investigator development, and 4) provide a cost-effective setting to support CPHA researchers. These aims lay the basis for a sustained, yet dynamic interdisciplinary approach to research on the older population's health and well-being - one in which the population sciences play a central role. CPHA is committed to investigator development, an essential piece for the sustainability of the proposed program. CPHA's signature themes encompass areas of scientific excellence, new opportunities for cutting-edge research, and key topic areas outlined in the RFA. These themes are: 1) the interrelationships among SES, race-ethnicity and health; 2) trends and differences in chronic disease and disability; 3) biodemographie approaches to aging and health; 4) work and family perspectives on health and well-being, and 5) living arrangements and care of the frail elderly. CPHA is the outcome of collaboration among 5 multidisciplinary research centers at Penn State, the Population Research Institute, the Center for Health Care and Policy Research, the Gerontology Center, the Center for Developmental and Health Genetics, and the Center for Human Development and Family Research in Diverse Contexts. Inter-center collaboration enhances CPHA's ability to carry out its mission of encouraging scientific crossfertilization among the traditional population sciences and between the population sciences and fields such as behavioral genetics, human development, nursing, health policy, minority aging, gerontology, and biobehavioral health. Collaboration is essential in establishing lines of communication to a diverse scientific community. Inter-center collaboration also provides a means to leverage outstanding infrastmcmral resources, bringing them to bear in pilot project research that leads to sustained programmatic development on the demography of aging.

人口健康和老龄化中心（CPHA）将提供一个协同环境，支持对不断增长和多样化的老年人口的挑战进行研究。CPHA的具体目标是：1）鼓励对老年人的健康和福祉进行创新的合作研究; 2）解决发展跨学科研究的机会，3）提供科学交流和研究人员发展的机制，以及4）提供一个具有成本效益的环境来支持CPHA研究人员。这些目标奠定了一个持续的基础，但动态的跨学科的方法来研究老年人口的健康和福祉-其中人口科学发挥了核心作用。CPHA致力于研究人员的发展，这是拟议计划可持续性的重要组成部分。 CPHA的标志性主题包括科学卓越领域，尖端研究的新机会以及RFA中概述的关键主题领域。这些主题是：1）社会经济地位、种族和健康之间的相互关系; 2）慢性病和残疾的趋势和差异; 3）老龄化和健康的生物人口学方法; 4）健康和福祉的工作和家庭观点; 5）体弱者的生活安排和护理 老人 CPHA是宾夕法尼亚州立大学5个多学科研究中心、人口研究所、卫生保健和政策研究中心、老年学中心、发育和健康遗传学中心以及人类发展和家庭研究中心在不同背景下合作的结果。中心间的合作增强了CPHA执行其鼓励科学异花受精使命的能力 传统人口科学之间以及人口科学与行为遗传学、人类发展、护理、卫生政策、少数民族老龄化、老年学和生物行为健康等领域之间的关系。合作对于建立与多样化科学界的沟通渠道至关重要。中心间的合作还提供了一种手段，以利用优秀的基础设施资源，使他们承担试点项目研究，导致持续的方案发展人口老龄化。
