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）：拟议的老龄化和政策研究中心（CAPS）的首要目的是促进NIA的目标，促进基于人口统计学和老龄化经济学的研究。CAPS将支持两个主题领域的研究，“日常环境中与性别有关的变化”和“人口变化，晚年福祉和公共政策”。第一个是明确的跨学科和包括连接生理，社会心理，认知和感官的变化与典型的衰老过程中可观察到的“外部”的选择和行为的领域，如满足一个人的自我保健的需要，或选择有关的类型，频率和强度的各种活动，或选择有关的性质，并与一个人的物理环境的相互作用。第二个地址的方式，在广泛的经济和人口领域的个人选择和行为受到各种公共政策和干预措施的影响，以及这些选择和行为，反过来，如何对公共卫生和公共政策的设计和有效性产生影响。CAPS的教师附属机构代表了几个学科，都有在老龄化相关研究的奖学金的跟踪记录，以及致力于进一步研究中心的主题和目标。目前，这些研究人员的工作得到了总共10个不同的NIH资助的赠款的支持，沿着的还有来自其他联邦来源的额外资金。CAPS将包括三个核心，一个是行政和研究支持核心，一个是研究发展核心，每年支持两个中型试点项目，一个是外部研究支持和传播核心，其核心活动是提供半年一次的老年学教育讲习班。
