CORE--PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT

计划开发核心的目的是支持开发 新的研究和职业发展计划将导致高 优质建议书。这些发展的机制是支持 小规模试点项目。我们提出了三个具体的试点项目 在中心的01年和02年，并描述选择机制 03-05年度的新项目。 试点项目1是制定一份建议书，作为R01提交 《老年人的收入和财富不平等：长期社会经济》 由Lee Lillard博士、Lynn Karoly博士和Constantijn Panis博士合著的《因素》。 试点项目建议探索使用收入小组研究 动态(PSID)、HRS和资产与健康动态(AHEAD) 研究社会经济地位的长期后果的数据集， 收入潜力、生活安排和婚姻历史对财富的影响 美国老年人之间的差距。 试点项目3是制定作为一等奖提交的建议书 论“家庭收入来源与黑白生活差异” 《伤残老年人的安排》，作者：Raynard Kington。 该项目将探索使用PSID和AHEAD数据集来研究收入 以及它在家庭成员中的分布作为一种潜在的解释 养老院的黑人和白人的利用差异和优势 生活安排。 超过头两年的后续试点项目将由 该中心的执行委员会，基于 来自中心研究人员的投稿。将启动所有试点项目 还有待NIA工作人员的批准。

The purpose of the Program Development Core is to support the development of new research and career development initiatives that will lead to high quality proposals. The mechanism for these developments is the support of small scale pilot projects. We propose three specific pilot projects in years 01 and 02 of the Center and describe the mechanism for selecting new ones in years 03-05. Pilot Project 1 is to develop a proposal for submission as an R01 on "Income and Wealth Inequality Among the Elderly: Long-Run Socioeconomic Factors" by Drs. Lee Lillard, Lynn Karoly and Constantijn Panis. This pilot project proposes to explore the use of the Panel Study of Income Dynamics (PSID), the HRS, and the Asset and Health Dynamics (AHEAD) datasets to study the long term consequences of socioeconomic status, earning potential, living arrangements and marital history for wealth disparities among older Americans. Pilot Project 3 is to develop a proposal for submission as a First Award on "Sources of Household Income and Black-White Differences in Living Arrangements of Impaired Elderly" by Dr. Raynard Kington. This pilot project will explore use of the PSID and AHEAD datasets to study income and its distribution among family members as a potential explanation of black/white differences in nursing home utilization and predominant living arrangements. Subsequent pilot projects beyond the first two years will be selected by the Executive Committee of the Center, based on a competition among submissions from Center researchers. All pilot projects to be initiated are subject to approval by NIA staff.
