CORE--PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT

项目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 质量提案。 这些发展的机制是支持 小规模试点项目。 我们提出三个具体的试点项目 在01年和02年的中心，并描述了选择机制 03-05年的新产品。 试点项目1是制定一项提案，作为R 01提交， “老年人的收入和财富不平等：长期社会经济 李·利拉德博士、林恩·卡罗利博士和康斯坦丁·帕尼斯博士的“因素”。 这 试点项目建议探索使用收入小组研究 动态（PSID）、HRS以及资产和健康动态（AHEAD） 数据集来研究社会经济地位的长期影响， 收入潜力、生活安排和婚姻史对财富的影响 美国老年人之间的差距。 试点项目3是制定一项提案，作为一等奖提交 关于“家庭收入来源与黑白生活差异”的报告 《残疾老人的安排》，雷纳德·金顿博士。 这一试点 该项目将探索使用PSID和AHEAD数据集来研究收入 及其在家庭成员中的分布作为一种可能的解释， 黑人/白色在疗养院利用率和主导地位方面的差异 生活安排 头两年之后的试点项目将由 该中心的执行委员会，根据竞争， 中心研究人员的意见。 所有试点项目将启动 须经NIA工作人员批准。

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.
