UK POPULATION LAB INNOVATION DEVELOPMENT GRANT

这项建议包括五个工作包，旨在加强了解社会的具体方面：联合王国家庭纵向研究，以及综合和分享经验教训，以更普遍地开展纵向研究。了解社会是一个大型的纵向资源的价值，以广泛的英国和国际学者，学生，研究人员在政府，公民社会和企业。这项研究涉及多个主题，具有一些关键特点，使其成为一种独特的资源：收集所有年龄段的人的年度数据，以便分析整个人口的短期动态;收集长期数据，以便分析生命历程的变化;包括家庭的所有成员，以便探讨家庭的相互关系和联系;来自英国所有四个国家的大样本量，这意味着可以研究非常具体的人口亚组，并调查政策变化的影响;包括生物测量，生物标志物，遗传和表观遗传信息;此外，我们亦会对移民和少数族裔群体进行额外的抽样调查。本申请建议的项目包括调查了解社会在队列分析和出生及早期生活研究中的应用;进一步提高"了解社会“的代表性，并为研究中的”失踪人口“研究创造机会;整合调查和行政数据的价值和挑战;调查设计的创新（例如混合模式、使用奖励措施、与社交媒体建立联系）;以及围绕关键生活事件和父母分居的内容创新。拟议的工作方案包括：回顾和综合文献，对理解社会进行实证分析，咨询专家用户，进行定性研究，以探索和改进今后研究的设计。整个工作包的产出将包括两份思考文件、八份经验报告（四份定性报告和四份基于研究的描述性分析的报告）、三份方法简报、一份地理资源清单和一份实质性方法审查文件。对于每个工作包，将在2019年3月底提供一份简短的中期摘要，所有最终产出将在2019年6月底之前完成。随后，一些报告和简报将作为理解社会工作文件在我们的网站上和/或同行评审期刊上发表。共享护理研究项目的定性数据将存放在英国数据服务中心。所有这些研究的经验教训将纳入未来理解社会的发展。

This proposal includes five work packages that are aimed at enhancing specific aspects of Understanding Society: the UK Household Longitudinal Study, and synthesising and sharing lessons for the development of longitudinal studies more generally. Understanding Society is a large longitudinal resource of value to a wide range of UK and international academics, students, researchers in government, civic society and businesses. The Study is multi-topic, and has some key features which make it a unique resource: the collection of annual data on people of all ages allowing analysis of short term dynamics for the whole population; data collection over a long period permitting analysis of life course changes; including all members of the household so family inter-relations and connectedness can be explored; a large sample size from all four countries of the UK, meaning that very specific subgroups of the population can be studied and the impacts of policy variation investigated; the inclusion of biomeasures, biomarkers, genetic and epigenetic information; and, additional boost samples on immigrant and ethnic minority groups.The projects proposed in this application, include investigating the use of Understanding Society for cohort analysis and for research around birth and early life; further improving the representativeness of Understanding Society and creating opportunities for research on 'missing populations' within the Study; the value and challenges of integrating survey and administrative data; innovation in survey design (such as mixed modes, use of incentives, linkage to social media);and, innovation in content around key life events an d separating parents.The proposed work packages involve: reviewing and synthesising literature, undertaking empirical analysis of Understanding Society, consulting expert users, conducting qualitative research to explore and improve the design of the study going forward. Across the work packages outputs will include two think pieces, eight empirical reports (four qualitative reports and four based on descriptive analyses of the Study), three methods briefings, a list of geographical resources, and a substantial methodological review paper. For each work package a short interim summary will be provided at the end of March 2019 and all final outputs will be produced by the end of June 2019. Subsequently, some of the reports and briefings will be published as Understanding Society working papers on our website, and/or in peer review journals. The qualitative data from the shared care research project will be deposited in the UK Data Service.Lessons from all of this research will be built into the development of Understanding Society going forward.
