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.

描述（由申请人提供）：自 2002 年以来，美国国家经济研究局 (NBER) 每年都会组织并主办年度队列研究工作组会议，即老龄化生命历程活动，自 2010 年起，NIA 提供了部分支持。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有共同的兴趣；并了解不同群体以及群体内不同种族、民族、性别和社会经济群体的经济、制度和人口背景如何变化。该申请提议将 NIA 对这一年度研讨会的支持再延长五年，从 2015 年到 2019 年，会议在马萨诸塞州剑桥市的 NBER 主要办公室和加州大学洛杉矶分校校园之间轮流举行。 NIA 的资金使我们能够在研讨会中纳入比单独使用 NBER 资源更大、更具包容性的参与者群体。这个更大的群体包括来自美国众多研究型大学从事老龄化相关研究的学者，其中包括大多数 NIA 支持的人口统计中心。它还包括来自其他国家的研究人员；经济学以外学科的研究人员（社会学、人口学、流行病学、临床医学、心理学和公共卫生）；新的研究人员正在制定或扩大他们在衰老方面的研究议程；在美国和国外具有出生队列或其他长期纵向研究专业知识的研究人员；研究人员开发新的方法工具来研究纵向数据集。 NIA 请求的资金将继续补充 NBER 的其他资源，以支持研讨会参与者的基本旅行和住宿费用。这种支持是在相同的基础上为所有参与者提供的，包括论文发表者和其他与会者，让该领域一些最著名的学者参与研讨会的活动，无论他们是否正式提交论文。研讨会的所有组织费用、所有会议费用和所有团体餐费均由 NBER 的其他资金承担。通过将来自不同领域的研究人员聚集在一起，队列研究会议提供了跨学科互动和协作研究的机会，可能会影响他们的工作方式。研究人员不仅了解生命历程事件中的新数据集、方法论和问题，而且有机会与领域外的学者进行深入互动。
