CORE--COORDINATING CENTER

核心F-协调中心 自1992年NIA人口统计中心成立以来，每年都有一个中心发挥协调中心的作用。协调中心的广泛目的是加强所有中心之间的协同作用。 MiCDA目前担任协调中心，我们建议未来继续担任这一角色。我们建议的具体活动包括： 。组织召开中心主任年会； 。扩展和维护All-Center网站； 。为NIA资料手册准备年度报告； 。更新和扩展All-Center简报图表； 。组织15周年庆典； 。为中心管理人员组织并主持启动研讨会； 。向公众和政策界传播研究成果。 核心项目将由罗伯特·舍尼领导，他目前负责协调活动，并在NIA P30项目方面拥有丰富的经验，包括在兰德工作了7年，在那里他指导了跨中心的兰德夏季学院。他将得到项目管理员Lora Myers的协助，Lora Myers自NIA人口统计中心项目开始以来一直参与其中。 作为协调中心职能的一部分，MiCDA将与人口参考局签订合同，制作和分发一份双月刊电子通讯，报告各中心的研究结果，并根据人口老龄化中心的研究组织小组演示和媒体电话会议。

Core F - Coordinating Center In each year since the NIA Demography Centers were established in 1992, one center has served the role of coordinating center. The broad purpose of the coordinating center is to enhance synergies across all centers. MiCDA currently serves as coordinating center, and we propose to continue to fill this role in the future. The specific activities we propose include the following: . Organize the annual meeting of center directors; . Expand and maintain the All-Centers web site; . Prepare the annual report for the NIA sourcebook; . Update and expand the All-Centers briefing charts; . Organize a 15th anniversary gala; . Organize and host a kick-off workshop for center administrators; . Disseminate research findings to the public and policy communities. The core will be led by Robert Schoeni, who currently directs coordinating activities and has broad experience with the NIA P30 program, including 7 years at RAND, where he directed the cross-center RAND Summer Institute. He will be assisted by the Program Administrator, Lora Myers, who has been involved with the NIA demography centers program since its inception. As part of the coordinating center function, MiCDA will contract with Population Reference Bureau to produce and distribute a bi-monthly electronic newsletter reporting the results of research at the centers, and organize panel presentations and media conference calls based on research at the Demography of Aging Centers.
