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）每年组织并主办一次年度队列研究工作组会议，题为“老龄化中的生命历程事件”，自2010年以来，国家经济研究局（NBER）得到了NIA的部分支持。这些研讨会汇集了大约30至60名学者，他们对累积暴露在衰老相关结果中的作用有共同的兴趣；了解不同人群的经济，制度和人口背景是如何变化的，以及不同种族，民族，性别和群体中的社会经济群体。该申请提议将NIA对该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之间交替举行。NIA的资金使我们能够在研讨会中包括一个更大、更包容的参与者群体，而不是单独使用NBER的资源。这个更大的群体包括来自美国众多研究型大学（包括大多数nia支持的人口统计中心）从事老龄化相关研究的学者。它还包括来自其他国家的研究人员；经济学以外学科（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；新研究人员发展或扩大他们的研究议程在老龄化；在美国和国外具有出生队列或其他长期纵向研究专长的研究人员；研究人员正在开发新的方法工具来研究纵向数据集。从NIA请求的资金将继续补充其他NBER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，邀请该领域一些最杰出的学者参加研讨会的活动，无论他们是否正式发表论文。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其他基金支付。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合作研究提供了机会，这可能会影响他们的工作方式。研究人员不仅可以学习新的数据集、方法和生命历程事件中的问题，还可以与其他领域的学者进行深入的互动。

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.
