CORE--PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT

核心B--计划开发 在这一核心下，我们建议通过以下方式扩大对密歇根州老龄化人口统计学的研究： 1.招聘和保留专门从事老龄人口统计学研究的终身教员 2.试点项目拨款，探索老龄化领域新的研究课题、方法和数据资源。 密歇根州P30中心的首要任务是扩大老龄化人口统计学研究的广度和质量。MiCDA将积极寻求初级和高级教师的招聘。 在目前的获奖期内，MCDA实施了一项非常成功的试点赠款计划，为研究界带来了外部资助的研究和其他重大利益。奖项颁发给了职业生涯各个阶段的研究人员，医学院和公共卫生学院的个人，以及文学、科学和艺术学院的社会学家和经济学家。我们建议继续该计划，遵循审查提案和管理奖项的既定程序。在这项提案中提出了四名飞行员，将在第一年和第二年提供资金；将在所有年份选择更多的飞行员。 第1年：“糖尿病自我管理和结果中的种族和民族差异的机制”，密歇根大学医学院的Michele Heisler和调查研究中心的David Weir。 利用总体死亡率、发病率和卫生基础设施数据作为调查的辅助工具 《残疾分析》，阿尔伯特·赫马林，人口研究中心。 第2年：经济系约翰·邦德：“使用体能测量和小插曲来验证健康的HRS调查测量”。 《二十世纪以前中国老年人的健康与死亡》，詹姆斯·李， 历史系。

Core B - Program Development Under this Core we propose to expand research on demography of aging at Michigan through: 1. Recruitment and retention of tenure-track faculty who specialize in demography of agin 2. Pilot project grants to explore new research topics, methodologies, and data resources in aging. The top priority of the Michigan P30 center is to expand the breadth and quality of research on demography of aging. MiCDA will actively pursue faculty recruitment at the junior and senior levels. During the current award period MiCDA has operated a highly successful pilot grant program leading to outside funded research and other significant benefits to the research community. Awards have gone to investigators at all stages of their careers and to individuals in the Schools of Medicine and Public Health, as well as sociologists and economists in the College of Literature, Science and the Arts. We propose to continue the program, following established procedures for review of proposals and managing awards. Four pilots are presented in this proposal to be funded in Years 1 and 2; additional pilots will be selected in all years. Year 1: "Mechanisms for Racial and Ethnic Disparities in Diabetes Self-Management and Outcomes," Michele Heisler, UM Medical School and David Weir, Survey Research Center. "Utilizing Aggregate Mortality, Morbidity, and Health Infrastructural Data as an Adjunct to Survey Analyses of Disability," Albert Hermalin, Population Studies Center. Year 2: "Using Physical Performance Measures and Vignettes to Validate HRS Survey Measures of Health," John Bound, Department of Economics. "Health and Mortality Among the Elderly in China Before the Twentieth Century," James Lee, Department of History.
