DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The University of Washington proposes to establish a Center for the Demography and Economics of Aging at the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation that will conduct high-quality cutting edge research into key themes related to aging, longevity, and health while contributing to the training and career development Of upcoming scientists, strengthening international networking opportunities, and providing key resources to disseminate this information to a wide variety of audiences. Building on IHME's position as the leader of the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) enterprise, this Center will leverage the data, results and vast network of collaborators of the GBD in order to support new research opportunities to identify the social, economic and behavioral determinants of health outcomes; to explore the relationships between expenditures and disease burdens; and to provide comparative and in-depth analysis of interesting GBD results, including those at the subnational and international levels. The Center will have four Cores: an administrative Core, a program development Core, a networking Core, and a dissemination Core. The administrative Core will provide the Center with strategic vision that synergizes Center functions with the activities of th GBD study and will provide the leadership and administrative support for the oversight and evaluation of Center functions, including pilot studies. The program development Core will financially support investigators and projects that seek to initiate and grow research programs that leverage existing GBD data with new methods, statistical approaches, data resources, and lines of thinking to rigorously test and apply the GBD resources to specific themes related to aging, longevity and health. The networking Core will provide exchange opportunities for visiting scholars from outside institutions who are interested in the trends and determinants of health aging and would like to serve as a liaison between their home institution, the Center, and the GBD network of international collaborators. The dissemination Core will provide open access to new databases and data visualization tools that will enable outside researchers, decision makers, and other key stakeholders to utilize, critique, and manipulate the data and results of the GBD and related Center activities.

描述（由申请人提供）：华盛顿大学提议在健康计量与评估研究所建立一个老龄化人口与经济学中心，该中心将对与老龄化、长寿和健康相关的关键主题进行高质量的前沿研究，同时为未来科学家的培训和职业发展做出贡献，加强国际交流机会，并提供关键资源，将这些信息传播给各种各样的受众。基于IHME作为全球疾病负担（GBD）企业领导者的地位，该中心将利用GBD的数据、结果和庞大的合作者网络，以支持新的研究机会，以确定健康结果的社会、经济和行为决定因素；探讨医疗支出与疾病负担的关系；并提供有趣的GBD结果的比较和深入分析，包括在次国家和国际一级的结果。该中心将有四个核心：行政核心、项目开发核心、网络核心和传播核心。行政核心将为中心提供战略愿景，将中心职能与GBD研究活动协同起来，并将为中心职能的监督和评估提供领导和行政支持，包括试点研究。项目开发核心将为寻求启动和发展研究项目的研究人员和项目提供资金支持，这些研究项目利用现有的GBD数据，采用新的方法、统计方法、数据资源和思路，严格测试并将GBD资源应用于与老龄化、长寿和健康相关的特定主题。网络核心将为来自外部机构的访问学者提供交流机会，这些学者对健康老龄化的趋势和决定因素感兴趣，并希望作为其所在机构、中心和GBD国际合作者网络之间的联络人。传播核心将提供对新数据库和数据可视化工具的开放访问，使外部研究人员、决策者和其他关键利益相关者能够利用、批评和操纵GBD和相关中心活动的数据和结果。
