DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Stanford Center on Demography and Economics of Health and Aging (CDEHA) promotes the study of trends in demography, economics, health, and health care, and the effects of these trends on the wellbeing of the elderly. Its program areas are: 1) Effects of medical technology on costs, health outcomes, physical and psychological well-being, and health care decisions of the elderly. 2) Longitudinal and cohort studies of medical care, costs, and health and economic outcomes of older populations, in the United States and other countries, with particular emphasis on economic and health interest in outcome disparities. 3) Application of demographic techniques, including biodemography, to understand changes in survival, health, and well-being among the elderly over time. 4) Promotion of research in the demography and economics of aging at Stanford and in collaborating institutions, including other demography centers. Support is proposed for administrative and communications infrastructure (Core A); new project development (Core B); and external research resources support and dissemination (Core D). Each of these cores supplement existing support for ongoing activities in the medical school, economics department, Morrison Institute for Population and Resource Studies, and the Center for Health Policy/Center for Primary Care and Outcomes Research. An Advisory Committee will be responsible for oversight of CDEHA activities. Benefiting from a University environment supportive of multidisciplinary research, CDEHA has access to a unique combination of clinical expertise and strength in economics and other disciplines relevant to the program areas; the ability to draw upon an extensive foundation of ongoing projects and research support; and collections of U.S. and international data relevant to the program areas, along with the expertise to work with large longitudinal databases. The proposed center will support enhanced communications, seminars, educational workshops, and research development. It incorporates mechanisms to attract trainees and junior faculty. CDEHA has already attracted faculty at Stanford and collaborating institutions to research on the demography and economics of health and aging, and has served as the core of a growing body of research that has been able to attract substantial funding. Its renewal will help ensure the continued vitality and growth of this endeavor. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: The Stanford Center on the Demography and Economics of Health and Aging (CDEHA) was established to promote the study of trends in demography, economics, health and health care of the elderly.

描述（由申请人提供）：斯坦福大学人口与健康与老龄化经济研究中心（CDEHA）促进人口、经济、健康和医疗保健趋势的研究，以及这些趋势对老年人福祉的影响。它的项目领域是：1)医疗技术对成本、健康结果、身心健康和老年人医疗保健决策的影响。2)在美国和其他国家对老年人口的医疗保健、成本、健康和经济结果进行纵向和队列研究，特别强调结果差异对经济和健康的影响。3)应用人口统计学技术，包括生物人口学，了解老年人的生存、健康和福祉随时间的变化。4)促进斯坦福大学及其合作机构（包括其他人口统计中心）在人口统计学和老龄化经济学方面的研究。建议支助行政和通讯基础设施（核心A）；新项目发展（核心B）；以及外部研究资源的支持和传播（核心D）。每一个核心都补充了医学院、经济系、莫里森人口与资源研究所和卫生政策中心/初级保健和结果研究中心正在进行的活动的现有支持。咨询委员会将负责监督CDEHA的活动。受益于支持多学科研究的大学环境，CDEHA可以获得临床专业知识和经济学以及与项目领域相关的其他学科优势的独特组合；能够利用正在进行的项目和研究支持的广泛基础；收集与项目领域相关的美国和国际数据，以及处理大型纵向数据库的专业知识。拟议中的中心将支持加强通信、研讨会、教育讲习班和研究开发。它包含了吸引实习生和初级教员的机制。CDEHA已经吸引了斯坦福大学的教职员工和合作机构来研究健康和老龄化的人口统计学和经济学，并已成为能够吸引大量资金的不断增长的研究机构的核心。它的更新将有助于确保这一努力继续保持活力和发展。
