FACTORS IN AGING: Best Practices in Archiving and Sharing Longitudinal Data Resources on Aging

项目摘要 国家老龄问题计算机化数据档案馆（NACDA）的使命是建立一个动态的， 灵活的数据基础设施，以促进健康研究和先进的知识，因为它涉及到 老年生活史通过开发和提供研究资源和数据服务， NACDA提醒研究人员进行二次数据分析的机会，提供定位和访问的工具 这将有助于收集相关材料，并提高老年学数据的可用性。NACDA的使命直接针对 老龄化纵向数据资源的收集与共享（U24）（RFA- AG-17-016）;代表NACDA过去35年工作的逻辑延伸， 大学间政治和社会研究联盟（ICPSR）超过半个世纪。 为了完成这一使命，NACDA将实现四个具体目标： 1)加强和扩大国家计算机化数据档案馆的纵向收藏 并进一步发展其方便用户的数据档案，以支持行为和社会科学研究 通过重点关注纵向、面板、重复测量和关联数据领域， 鼓励研究人员分享和存档这些数据; 2）建议和协助文件， 数据和元数据的存档，供研究人员进行纵向、重复测量和链接 数据，包括确保适当的保密审查和保护相互关联和 地理空间数据; 3）向研究人员分发增强的数据和文件， 他们的使用，这样做的效率和成本效益的方式，创造产品，可以更有效地使用 比原始数据生产者创建的版本更好;以及4）通过向用户提供 支持、获取数据、培训和咨询。通过仔细跟踪用户支持请求的各个方面 和数据的使用，我们将更有效地识别和瞄准新兴的研究趋势， 培训需求，以便我们能够继续发展我们的计划和支持服务。我们通过以下方式实现这一目标 项目工作人员在常设政治、社会和文化权利国际委员会（一个咨询理事会）的资深研究人员领导下开展的活动， NIA项目科学家，以及来自更广泛研究界的广泛NACDA倡导者。 总的来说，这些小组将积极建议NACDA关于其活动和收购目标， 我们是所有对保存、共享和支持信息数据感兴趣的研究人员的宝贵合作伙伴。 衰老的生命历程

PROJECT SUMMARY The mission of the National Archive of Computerized Data on Aging (NACDA) is to create a dynamic and flexible data infrastructure to stimulate health research and advance knowledge as it relates to the gerontological lifecourse. Through the development and delivery of research resources and data services, NACDA alerts researchers to opportunities for secondary data analysis, provides tools to locate and access relevant materials, and enhances the availability of gerontological data. NACDA’s mission directly addresses the focus and expectations of the Archiving and Sharing of Longitudinal Data Resources on Aging (U24) (RFA- AG-17-016); representing a logical extension of the NACDA’s work for the past 35 years and the work of the Inter-university Consortium for Political and Social Research (ICPSR) for over half a century. To fulfill this mission, NACDA will accomplish four specific goals: 1) Enhance and expand the longitudinal collections maintained by the National Archive of Computerized Data on Aging and further develop its user-friendly data archive to support behavioral and social science research on healthy aging by focusing on areas of longitudinal, panel, repeat measure and linked data, and by encouraging researchers to share and archive these data; 2) Advise and assist in the documentation and archiving of data and metadata for researchers who are producing longitudinal, repeat measure and linked data, including guidance in methods that ensure adequate confidentiality review and protection for linked and geo-spatial data; 3) Distribute enhanced data and documentation to researchers in a form that will facilitate their use, do so in an efficient and cost-effective manner by creating products that can be used more effectively than the versions created by the original data producer; and 4) Facilitate secondary analysis by providing user support, access to data, training and consultation. By carefully tracking all aspects of user support requests and data use by the community, we will more effectively identify and target emerging research trends and training needs so we can continue to evolve our programs and support services. We accomplish this through the activities of the project staff under the leadership of established researchers at ICPSR, an advisory council, NIA Project Scientists, and the wide array of NACDA advocates drawn from the broader research community. Collectively, these groups will actively advise NACDA regarding its activities and its acquisition goals and make us a valuable partner for all researchers interested in the preservation, sharing and support of data that informs the aging lifecourse.
