DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): We propose to form a new NIA Center on the Demography of Aging at Princeton University. This center will be housed within Princeton University's Center for Health and Well-being (CHW). An inter-disciplinary group of Princeton researchers are conducting research that addresses issues related to the health and wellbeing of individuals as they age. The new center will be structured around research on socioeconomic status, health, well-being, and aging. The center will be identified by three research themes: the relationship between socioeconomic status and health over the life-cycle; the determinants and measurement of decision-making and wellbeing among aging individuals; and comparative and cross-national studies of economics, health and aging. A focus of the new center will be to integrate the tools of economics, demography and epidemiology with those of neuroscience and psychology, for the purpose of understanding the determinants of decision-making, health and well-being as people age. The goals of the new center will be to provide administrative and technical support for the researchers at CHW working under these themes; to create a "pilot project" program that will generate innovative new research in these areas; and to provide support to new faculty--primarily assistant professors--who work on the themes of this proposal, thereby encouraging new research on socioeconomic status, health, well-being and aging.

描述（由申请人提供）：我们建议在普林斯顿大学成立一个新的NIA老龄人口学中心。该中心将设在普林斯顿大学健康与福祉中心（CHW）内。普林斯顿大学的一个跨学科研究小组正在进行一项研究，研究与个人年龄增长有关的健康和福祉问题。 新中心将围绕社会经济地位、健康、福祉和老龄化的研究展开。该中心将通过三个研究主题确定：在生命周期中社会经济地位与健康之间的关系;老年人决策和福祉的决定因素和测量;以及经济学，健康和老龄化的比较和跨国研究。新中心的一个重点是将经济学、人口学和流行病学的工具与神经科学和心理学的工具相结合，以了解随着人们年龄的增长，决策、健康和福祉的决定因素。新中心的目标将是为CHW研究人员在这些主题下工作提供行政和技术支持;创建一个“试点项目”计划，该计划将在这些领域产生创新的新研究;并为新的教师提供支持-主要是助理教授-谁在这个建议的主题上工作，从而鼓励对社会经济地位，健康，福祉和老龄化的新研究。
