Michigan Center on the Demography of Aging

描述（由申请人提供）：本申请要求为NIA P30密歇根老龄人口统计学中心（MiCDA）的21-25年提供资金。MiCDA的总体目标是促进密歇根大学和UM社区以外的人口统计学和老龄化经济学的新研究。MiCDA位于密歇根州的社会研究所（ISR），由ISR的人口研究中心和调查研究中心共同管理，是进行老龄化相关研究的校园单位的关键环节。在接下来的五年里，MiCDA将围绕四个标志性主题开展活动，进一步推进研究：（1）慢性疾病和残疾;（2）晚年健康和福祉的生命历程决定因素;（3）老龄化，遗传学和社会科学;（4）储蓄和退休经济学。密歇根州农业发展部还将继续促进在国家和国际两级广泛使用密歇根州国家情报局资助的数据收集。具体而言，将通过以下核心促进研究：核心A。行政和研究支持核心将继续管理MiCDA活动，并将为MiCDA附属机构提供网络，计算和数据相关的支持服务。 核心B。项目开发核心将继续专注于加强MiCDA的教师队伍，并资助15-20个突出签名主题的试点项目。 核心C。外部创新网络核心将通过四个网络促进中心签名领域的新研究：老年残疾趋势，国际HRS姐妹研究，美国老龄化纵向研究，生命历程健康动态和差异。 核心D。传播核心将分发MiCDA附属机构的调查结果，并通过基于NIA支持的调查促进老龄化研究。 核心E. MICDA Enclave将提供需要特别保护的与老龄化有关的受限数据。本周期的目标是扩大其拥有量，开展外联活动，提供使用和保护机密数据的培训，并开展研究以改善访问和保密性保护。 核心F.协调中心将加强P30计划的沟通，并将与人口资料局合作，向公众传播各中心的调查结果。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application requests funding for Years 21-25 of the NIA P30 Michigan Center on the Demography of Aging (MiCDA). The overarching goal of MiCDA is to promote new research on the demography and economics of aging at both the University of Michigan and outside the UM community. Housed at Michigan's Institute for Social Research (ISR) and jointly run by ISR's Population Studies Center and Survey Research Center, MiCDA serves as a critical link across campus units that are doing aging-related research. Over the next five years, MiCDA will undertake activities to further advance research around four signature themes: (1) chronic disease and disability; (2) life course determinants of late-life health and well-being; (3) aging, genetics, and social science; and (4) economics of savings and retirement. MICDA will also continue to promote the wide use of Michigan's NIA-funded data collections nationally and internationally. Specifically research will be promoted through the following Cores: Core A. The Administration and Research Support Core will continue to administer MiCDA activities and will provide web, computing, and data-related support services to MiCDA affiliates. Core B. The Program Development Core will continue its focus on strengthening MiCDA's faculty and funding 15-20 pilot projects that highlight signature themes. Core C. The External Innovative Network Core's will facilitate new research in the Center's signature areas through four networks: TRENDS in Old-Age Disability, International HRS Sister Studies, Longitudinal Studies of Aging in the U.S., and Life Course Health Dynamics and Disparities. Core D. The Dissemination Core will distribute findings by MiCDA affiliates and promote aging research with Michigan-based NIA-supported surveys. Core E. The MICDA Enclave will provide access to restricted aging-related data that require special protection. Goals this cycle are to expand its holdings, engage in outreach activities, offer training in the use and protection of confidential data, and conduct research to improve access and confidentiality protection. Core F. The Coordinating Center will enhance communication for the P30 program and will work with the Population Reference Bureau to disseminate findings from across the Centers to the public.
