Core D: External Research and Dissemination Core

项目概要： 摘要 这一新提议的核心将支持“2010年数据与测量创新合作”的工作。 老化”（CIDMA）是芝加哥大学（U芝加哥）健康农业中心研究人员的合作， 人口行为和纵向调查（CHABLIS）和人口健康与老龄化杜克中心 （CPHA）。该合作核心将确定、设计、实施和评估数据收集方面的创新， 测量用于当前和未来的数据为重点的研究老化。这些数据收集方面的创新 （a）调整衡量认知的方法， 从实验室到现场环境的大脑功能;（B）扩展基于地点的个人活动研究 及其对从城市到农村环境中的健康和福祉的影响;以及（c）评估 证明调查数据和来自医院和人口健康记录的数据的收集， 特别强调开发方法，以改善受试者招募和保留以及使用 适应性同意过程来建立信任。CIDMA进行的评估将迅速 从设计到传播其调查结果（因此，我们称之为快速评估）。这些 快速评估将侧重于制定具有成本效益的措施和方法， 在一系列环境中，特别是在“实地”进行人口研究的环境中，这是... CIDMA的成员将在这些任务上合作，利用他们的特殊专业知识和经验， 在老龄化研究中的数据收集方面的作用。该核心还将传播和教育研究社区， 在其调查结果上。它将继续努力传播其调查结果，并在以下方面建立对话： 之间的研究人员和调查业务专业人员，及其应用到现有和未来的研究。 该核心还将举办两个暑期讲习班和一个项目结束研讨会/讲习班，以培训和教育 培养下一代研究人员和数据收集专业人员从事老龄化研究。 1

Project Summary: Abstract This new proposed Core will support the work of the “Collaborative for Innovation in Data & Measurement in Aging” (CIDMA) a collaboration of researchers at the University of Chicago (UChicago) Center for Healthy Ag- ing Behaviors and Longitudinal InvestigationS (CHABLIS)and the Duke Center for Population Health and Aging (CPHA). This Collaborative Core will identify, design, conduct and assess innovations in data collection and measurement for use in current and future data-focused studies of aging. These innovations in data collection and measurement will be focused on the following issues: (a) adapting methods for measuring cognition and brain functioning from laboratory to field settings; (b) extending place-based studies of activities of individuals and their consequences for health and well-being from urban to rural settings; and (c) assessing ways to im- prove the collection of survey data and data from health records in both hospital- and population-based set- tings, with special emphasis on developing methods to improve subject recruitment and retention and the use of adaptive consenting processes to establish trust. The assessments conducted by CIDMA will have rapid turnaround, from design to dissemination of its findings (thus, we refer to them as Rapid Assessments). These Rapid Assessments will be focused on developing measures and methods that are cost-effective and that can be implemented in a range of settings, especially those “in the field” for population-based studies. The mem- bers of CIDMA will work collaboratively on these tasks, drawing on both their particular expertise and experi- ence in data collection in studies of aging. This Core also will disseminate and educate the research commu- nity on its findings. It will maintain an on-going dissemination effort of its findings and create a dialogue be- tween researchers and survey operations professionals, and their application to existing and future studies. This Core also will conduct two summer institutes and an end-of-project symposium/workshop to train and edu- cate the next generation of researchers and data collection professionals in the study of aging. 1
