CORE--EXTERNAL RESEARCH RESOURCES SUPPORT/DISSEMINATION

在大卫·坎宁（David Canning）的指导下，传播核心将致力于提高哈佛大学现有和未来研究对全球老龄化人口统计的影响。它将促进向其他研究人员、学生、决策者、媒体和公众传播方法工具、数据集、研究成果和政策影响。哈佛大学现有的传播工作在同行评议的期刊上发表得很好。但是，许多较小的项目不容易获得各种传播途径。我们计划通过创建一个中心网站来协助项目，提供在线访问和有关中心支持的工作的信息。我们还将制作一个工作文件系列，包括硬拷贝和免费在线提供，针对外部研究人员，以鼓励

The dissemination core, under the direction of David Canning, will aim to increase the impact of existing and future research at Harvard on the Global Demography of Aging. It will promote the dissemination of methodological tools, data sets, research findings, and policy implications to other researchers, students, policy makers, the media, and the public. Existing dissemination efforts at Harvard work well in terms of publication in peer-reviewed journals. However, many smaller projects do not have easy access to a full range of dissemination routes. We plan to assistant projects by creating a Center website providing online access to, and information about, the work supported by the Center. We will also produce a Working Papers series both in hard copy and freely available online, aimed at external researchers, to encourage the timely dissemination of results. We will hold an Annual Workshop on a different specific theme related to the Global Demography of Aging each year, bringing together researchers from Harvard and external scholars. We will endeavor to publish the papers from the Workshop as a special issue of a journal or an edited volume. We will assist the dissemination of datasets created by projects by providing technical assistance to allow data to be accessed through the Harvard-MIT Virtual Data Center. The Global Demography of Aging Center will also act as a long-term repository for datasets created by projets that have ended. We will run a bi-weekly seminar series to reach Harvard faculty members and will offer new courses at both the undergraduate and graduate levels to reach students. To reach the media and influence policy making, we will provide assistance to projects in producing and disseminating press releases. We will also reach our audience pro-actively by email updates through a listserv service.
