DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The overarching purpose of the proposed Center for Aging and Policy Studies (CAPS) is to contribute to the NIA's goal of promoting research grounded in the demography and economics of aging. CAPS will support research in two thematic areas, "Age-Related Changes in Everyday Context" and "Demographic change, late-life well-being and public policy." The first is explicitly interdisciplinary and encompasses topics that connect physiological, psychosocial, cognitive, and sensory changes associated with the typical aging process to observable "external" choices and behaviors in domains such as meeting one's self-care needs, or choices concerning the type, frequency, and intensity of various activities, or choices regarding the nature of, and interactions with, one's physical environment. The second addresses ways in which individual choices and behaviors in a wide range of economic and demographic domains are influenced by various public policies and interventions, and how those choices and behaviors, in turn, themselves have implications for public health and for the design and effectiveness of public policies. CAPS faculty affiliates represent several disciplines, and all have a track record of scholarship in aging-related research, as well as a commitment to furthering the research themes and goals of the Center. At present, these researchers' work is supported by a total of 10 different NIH-funded grants, along with additional funds from other Federal sources. CAPS will contain three cores, an Administrative and Research Support Core, a Research Development Core which will support two midsized pilot projects in each year, and an External Research Support and Dissemination Core, a central activity of which will be to offer semi-annual Gerontology Education Workshops.

描述（由申请人提供）：拟议的老龄化与政策研究中心（CAPS）的总体目的是为NIA促进基于老龄化人口和经济学的研究的目标做出贡献。CAPS将支持两个主题领域的研究，即“日常生活中与年龄相关的变化”和“人口变化、晚年福祉和公共政策”。第一个是明确的跨学科，包括与典型衰老过程相关的生理、社会心理、认知和感官变化，以及可观察到的“外部”选择和行为，如满足一个人的自我护理需求，或选择各种活动的类型、频率和强度，或选择有关物理环境的性质及其与物理环境的相互作用。第二部分涉及各种公共政策和干预措施如何影响广泛的经济和人口领域中的个人选择和行为，以及这些选择和行为本身如何对公共卫生以及公共政策的设计和有效性产生影响。CAPS的教职工分支机构代表了多个学科，并且都在老龄化相关研究方面有学术记录，并致力于推进该中心的研究主题和目标。目前，这些研究人员的工作得到了总共10项不同的nih资助，以及来自其他联邦来源的额外资金的支持。CAPS将包含三个核心，一个行政和研究支持核心，一个研究发展核心，每年将支持两个中等规模的试点项目，以及一个外部研究支持和传播核心，其中心活动将是每半年举办一次老年学教育讲习班。
