Abstract The goal of this renewal application is to continue and to enhance our current project, the Gateway to Global Aging Data (g2aging.org), a data and information platform developed to facilitate longitudinal and cross-country analyses on aging, especially those using the family of Health and Retirement Studies (HRS) around the world. The Gateway has indexed metadata from 12 surveys in 30 countries and has created 11,540 key harmonized variables on demographics, health, health care, cognition, financial and housing wealth, income, consumption, pension, retirement, employment history, and family structure, enabling cross-wave, cross-country search and analysis. We now have 1,486 registered users, in addition to numerous non-registered users from 165 countries who visit our site. Cumulatively, there have been 69,529 sessions, viewing a total of 593,107 pages. Prior to development of the Gateway, several barriers limited the use of HRS-family surveys for cross-wave and cross-country research. These included the difficulty of identifying concordance information, the need to merge multiple data files, dispersed documentation, and the lack of knowledge of what is available. The Gateway makes analyses of HRS-family surveys across time and countries much easier, lowering the costs of entry for new researchers and saving time and effort for experienced researchers. Our harmonized datasets have enabled users to build analysis datasets more accurately, easily, and quickly, generating an average time savings of 8 weeks per project for our users. Our registered users published 227 papers in the past two years, and even more users reported using the Gateway for their course work, conference presentations, and working papers for academic publications. In this application, we aim to incorporate additional longitudinal, harmonized variables which offer great scientific promise and are often requested by users, specifically those on biomarkers, disability, pension wealth and incentives to retire, social connectedness and isolation, psychosocial, next-of-kin interviews for the deceased, and life-history interviews. We also seek technological advancements in data structure and visualizations. We have developed a more aggressive outreach strategy in this application, including organizing pre/post conferences and methodological workshops on cross-country analysis; coordinating symposia; training users through user workshops and webinars; building an active and engaged user community through social media; continuing to disseminate through exhibits; and providing user support through our help desk. The proposed work will improve the information and the data we provide and lower the barriers to conducting longitudinal or cross-country research using HRS-family surveys, benefiting the larger research community. Exit data and life-history data, as well as other key variables, such as psychosocial variables, have never been harmonized. Incorporating these new data will expedite the speed of scientific discoveries in less-researched areas and offers great scientific promise.

抽象的 此更新申请的目标是继续并加强我们当前的项目，即“通往全球的门户” 老龄化数据（g2aging.org），一个数据和信息平台，旨在促进纵向和跨国 对老龄化的分析，尤其是使用世界各地健康与退休研究（HRS）系列的分析。 该网关对来自 30 个国家/地区的 12 项调查的元数据进行了索引，并创建了 11,540 个关键的统一数据 人口统计、健康、医疗保健、认知、金融和住房财富、收入、消费等变量 养老金、退休、工作经历、家庭结构等，实现跨波次、跨国检索 分析。我们现在拥有 1,486 名注册用户，此外还有 165 名非注册用户 访问我们网站的国家。累计浏览次数为 69,529 次，浏览页面总数为 593,107 页。 在开发 Gateway 之前，存在一些障碍限制了 HRS 家庭调查在跨波中的使用 和跨国研究。其中包括识别索引信息的困难、需要 合并多个数据文件、分散的文档以及缺乏对可用内容的了解。这 Gateway 使跨时间和跨国家的 HRS 家庭调查分析变得更加容易，从而降低了成本 为新研究人员进入，为经验丰富的研究人员节省时间和精力。我们的统一数据集 使用户能够更准确、轻松、快速地构建分析数据集，生成平均时间 每个项目为我们的用户节省 8 周的时间。我们的注册用户在过去两年发表了227篇论文， 甚至更多的用户报告使用 Gateway 进行课程作业、会议演示和工作 学术出版物的论文。在此应用中，我们的目标是纳入额外的纵向、协调的 这些变量提供了巨大的科学前景，并且经常被用户请求，特别是那些 生物标志物、残疾、养老金财富和退休激励、社会联系和孤立， 社会心理、死者近亲访谈以及生活史访谈。我们也寻求技术 数据结构和可视化方面的进步。我们制定了更积极的外展战略 该应用程序，包括组织关于跨国的前/后会议和方法研讨会 分析;协调研讨会；通过用户研讨会和网络研讨会培训用户；建立一个积极和 通过社交媒体吸引用户社区；通过展览继续传播；并提供用户 通过我们的服务台提供支持。拟议的工作将改进我们提供的信息和数据， 降低使用 HRS 家庭调查进行纵向或跨国研究的障碍，从而受益 更大的研究团体。退出数据和生活史数据，以及其他关键变量，例如 心理社会变量从未得到协调。合并这些新数据将加快速度 研究较少领域的科学发现并提供了巨大的科学前景。
