Overall: Abstract The University of Texas at Austin requests P30 funding to establish a new Center on the Demography and Economics of Aging—The Center on Aging and Population Sciences (CAPS). The new Center’s overarching mission is to galvanize novel research that illuminates how biosocial and environmental factors intersect, compound, and cascade throughout the life course to shape health and well-being at older ages. CAPS will provide specialized programming and leadership to foster innovative demographic and population- based research on aging. The Center will leverage substantial faculty strengths and new institutional commitments to greatly amplify the impact of NIA P30 support. CAPS will share administrative resources with the highly successful Population Research Center (PRC) at UT Austin. The extensive experience and expertise of PRC administrators and staff will multiply the impact of CAPS activities to promote exceptional population-based research on aging. The Center’s specific aims are: 1) Expand and promote collaborations among scholars to address complex aging and population health issues, create a lively and supportive interdisciplinary community wherein exchange of ideas is encouraged and common, and grow the number and diversity of researchers in the field at all career stages, 2) Promote and sustain infrastructure development needed to provide high-quality services and resources to foster outstanding population-based research on aging, and 3) Oversee a project development and pilot program to seed new lines of population-based research on aging. Over the next 5 years, CAPS will address critical research questions regarding dynamic and intersecting factors throughout the life course that shape diversity in aging and health within three overarching research themes: 1) Life course precursors of advantage and disadvantage at older ages, 2) Family demography, social engagement, and social isolation, and 3) Place, aging, and health. Funding is requested for two infrastructure cores. The Administrative and Research Suppoert Core will set programmatic and service priorities; build an interdisciplinary community of population scientists at the University; provide outstanding services that facilitate the development of large-scale population research; ensure coordination between cores, and serve as the communications hub between CAPS, NIA, and the Coordinating Center. The Program Development and Pilot Core will generate novel scientific projects of well-established scientists as well as early-stage and new-to- aging scholars to significantly advance population-based research on aging; build CAPS research portfolio via the Center’s pilot project program, and foster evolution of nascent ideas into proposals for extramural funding. CAPS will prioritize pilot projects that are most likely to advance knowledge, address NIA priorities, shift conceptual paradigms, develop novel sources of data, and lead to major NIA funding within CAPS themes.

总体：摘要 德克萨斯大学奥斯汀分校要求P30资助建立一个新的人口统计学中心， 老龄化和人口科学中心（CAPS）。新中心的 首要的使命是激发新的研究，阐明生物社会和环境因素如何 在整个生命过程中相互交叉、复合和级联，以塑造老年人的健康和福祉。 CAPS将提供专门的规划和领导，以促进创新的人口和人口- 基于对衰老的研究该中心将利用大量的师资力量和新的机构 承诺大大扩大NIA P30支持的影响。CAPS将共享行政资源， UT Austin的人口研究中心（PRC）。具备丰富经验和专才 中国的管理人员和工作人员将成倍增加CAPS活动的影响，以促进特殊的人口为基础的 关于衰老的研究该中心的具体目标是：1）扩大和促进学者之间的合作， 解决复杂的老龄化和人口健康问题，创造一个充满活力和支持性的跨学科社区 在那里，思想交流是鼓励和共同的，并增加研究人员的数量和多样性， 2）促进和维持基础设施发展，以提供高质量的 服务和资源，以促进对老龄化的杰出人口为基础的研究，以及3）监督一个项目 发展和试点项目，为基于人口的老龄化研究提供新的思路。 在接下来的5年里，CAPS将解决有关动态和交叉的关键研究问题。 在三个总体研究中，在整个生命过程中塑造衰老和健康多样性的因素 主题：1）老年人的优势和劣势的生命历程前兆，2）家庭人口统计学，社会 参与和社会隔离，以及3）地点，老化和健康。为两个基础设施申请资金 丹行政和研究支助核心将确定方案和服务优先事项;建立一个 人口科学家在大学的跨学科社区;提供卓越的服务，促进 发展大规模人口研究;确保核心之间的协调，并作为 CAPS、NIA和协调中心之间的通信枢纽。项目开发与试点 核心将产生新的科学项目的成熟的科学家以及早期阶段和新的- 老龄化学者显着推进人口为基础的老龄化研究;建立CAPS研究组合，通过 该中心的试点项目计划，并促进新生的想法演变成建议校外资金。 CAPS将优先考虑最有可能促进知识、解决NIA优先事项、改变 概念范式，开发新的数据来源，并导致在CAPS主题内的主要NIA资金。
