DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): NBER Center for Aging and Health Research. This application proposes a continuation of the NBER Center for Aging and Health Research through June 2014. The Center serves two primary functions: first, as the integrating umbrella for an extensive network of research and related activities in aging at the NBER, and second, as the organizational mechanism and stimulus for developing new and innovative research directions in aging. The Center is instrumental in promoting an extensive agenda of research activity by economists on issues in aging, in serving and coordinating a large community of economic scholars engaged in aging-related research through the NBER, and in advancing the "economics of aging" as an important subfield of economics exploration. The Administrative and Research Support Core provides administrative and coordinating services to the Center, centralized data management, and academic leadership for the overall NBER research program in aging. The Program Development Core supports smaller-scale exploratory research on new and innovative project ideas. The External Innovative Network Core promotes and supports collaborative research groups dealing with more complex research issues, and involves both domestic and multi-national research collaborations. The External Research Resources Support and Dissemination Core provides for the broad communication of important research findings, including the preparation of numerous non-technical reports on Center research Together, these cores are a tremendous resource in leveraging, promoting and enhancing the NBER's large and diverse research activities in aging and health. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: The financial circumstances of older Americans, work and retirement behavior, health and functional ability, and the many public and private policies that influence individual wellbeing all are in a state of continuing evolution and transition. Understanding the complexities of this situation and the relationships between demographics, policy, behavior, economics, and health is the substantive aim of the Center.

描述(申请人提供)：NBER老龄化与健康研究中心。这项申请建议将NBER老龄化和健康研究中心延续到2014年6月。该中心有两个主要职能：第一，作为NBER广泛的老龄研究和相关活动网络的综合保护伞；第二，作为组织机制和刺激，发展老龄领域新的和创新的研究方向。该中心有助于推动经济学家就老龄化问题开展广泛的研究活动，通过NBER服务和协调大量从事与老龄化相关研究的经济学者，并推动“老龄化经济学”作为经济学探索的一个重要分支领域。行政和研究支持核心为该中心提供行政和协调服务，集中数据管理，并为整个NBER老龄研究项目提供学术领导。项目开发核心支持对新的和创新的项目想法进行较小规模的探索性研究。外部创新网络核心促进和支持合作研究小组处理更复杂的研究问题，并涉及国内和国际研究合作。外部研究资源支持和传播核心提供重要研究成果的广泛交流，包括共同准备大量关于中心研究的非技术性报告，这些核心是利用、促进和加强NBER在老龄化和健康方面的大型和多样化研究活动的巨大资源。 公共卫生相关性：美国老年人的经济状况、工作和退休行为、健康和机能能力，以及许多影响个人福祉的公共和私人政策，都处于不断演变和过渡的状态。了解这种情况的复杂性以及人口、政策、行为、经济和健康之间的关系是该中心的主要目标。
