Life Course Events in Aging

描述(由申请人提供)：自2002年以来，国家经济研究局(NBER)每年都在NIA的部分支持下，每年组织和主办一次队列研究工作组会议--老龄生活课程活动。这些研讨会聚集了大约30至60名学者，他们对累积暴露在老龄化相关结果中的作用以及了解不同队列以及队列内不同种族、民族、性别和社会经济群体的经济、体制和人口背景如何变化感兴趣。这项申请建议将NIA对这一年度研讨会的支持再延长五年，从2015年到2019年，会议在NBER位于马萨诸塞州剑桥的主要办公室和加州大学洛杉矶分校的校园之间轮流举行。与仅有NBER资源相比，NIA的资金使我们能够在研讨会上包括一个更大、更具包容性的参与者群体。这个更大的群体包括来自美国各地众多研究型大学的从事老龄化相关研究的学者，包括NIA支持的大多数人口统计中心。它还包括来自其他国家的研究人员；经济学以外的学术学科(社会学、人口学、流行病学、临床医学、心理学和公共卫生)的研究人员；正在开发或扩大他们在老龄化方面的研究议程的新的研究人员；在出生队列或美国和国外的其他长期纵向研究方面具有专长的研究人员；以及为研究纵向数据集开发新的方法学工具的研究人员。国家安全局申请的资金将继续补充国家安全局的其他资源，以支持讲习班参与者的基本旅费和住宿费。向所有与会者，包括论文演讲者和其他与会者提供同样的支持，让该领域一些最著名的学者参与讲习班的活动，无论他们是否正式提交论文。研讨会的所有组织成本、所有会议费用和所有团餐都由NBER的其他资金支付。通过将来自不同领域的研究人员聚集在一起，队列研究会议为跨学科的互动和协作研究提供了机会，可能会对他们的工作方式产生影响。研究人员不仅了解生命历程事件中的新数据集、方法和问题，还有机会与其领域外的学者进行深入互动。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) has organized and hosted an annual Cohort Studies Working Group meeting, Life Course Events in Aging, every year since 2002, with partial support from NIA since 2010. The workshops have brought together roughly 30 to 60 scholars with a common interest in the role of cumulative exposures in aging-related outcomes; and in understanding how the economic, institutional, and demographic context has changed for different cohorts and for different racial, ethnic, gender, and socioeconomic groups within cohorts. This application proposes to extend NIA support for this annual workshop for five additional years, from 2015 to 2019, with meetings alternating between the NBER's main offices in Cambridge, MA and the campus of the University of California, Los Angeles. NIA funds enable us to include in the workshop a larger and more inclusive participant group than would be possible with NBER resources alone. This larger group includes scholars engaged in aging-related research from numerous research universities throughout the United States, including most of the NIA-supported demography centers. It also includes researchers from other countries; researchers in academic disciplines other than economics (sociology, demography, epidemiology, clinical medicine, psychology, and public health); newer investigators developing or expanding their research agenda in aging; researchers with expertise in birth cohort or other long-term longitudinal studies in the US and abroad; and researchers developing new methodological tools for the study of longitudinal data sets. The funding requested from NIA will continue to supplement other NBER resources to support basic travel and accommodation expenses for workshop participants. This support is provided on the same basis for all participants, including both paper presenters and other attendees, engaging some of the most prominent scholars in the field in the activities of the workshop, regardless of whether they are presenting papers formally. All organizational costs of the workshop, all meeting expenses, and all group meals are covered with other NBER funds. By bringing together researchers from different fields, the Cohort Studies meetings provide opportunities for interaction and collaborative research across disciplines, potentially influencin the way they work. Researchers learn not just about new datasets, methodologies, and questions in life course events, but also have the opportunity for in-depth interactions with scholars from outside their field.
