Center on the Economics and Demography of Aging

核心C.外部创新网络 描述： 核心C密切关注RFA中描述的功能。CEDA的许多成员都是许多创新网络的中心，其中包括McFadden，用于调查计量经济学；Wilmoth，用于人类死亡率数据库；Carey计划项目的参与者，与马克斯·普朗克人口研究所的研究人员和其他人一起参与生物人口学项目；Mason和Lee，拥有国家转移账户，涉及6大洲28个不同国家的研究团队。这些网络将通过各种核心C类活动(具体目标重复如下)得到加强和支持，并发展其他网络：a)在CEDA花费一周或最多一年的访问研究人员方案，从而建立或加强网络联系以及学习或教学途径、方法和理论(旅行有时由核心A提供资金)；(B)由CEDA成员组织的一系列会议和讲习班，围绕与其老龄化研究有关的主题，借鉴美国其他地方和其他国家的研究人员；(C)现有网络成员举行的更有重点的会议方案，以实现共同目标并制定共同的方法和数据格式，例如，d)统一许多国家的数据，如在头盔显示器和NTA中；e)技术援助活动，培训NIA资助的NTA项目的第三世界外国成员建立和分析NTA数据；F)开发专门网站(通过核心D)，以分享数据、软件和方法，建立智力联系，传播研究论文和研究结果，张贴问题，并提供有关会议和进展等的信息。

Core C. External Innovative Network Description: Core C is focused closely on the functions described In the RFA. Various CEDA members are at the hubs of a number of innovative networks, including McFadden for survey econometrics; Wilmoth, for the Human Mortality Database; participants in the Carey Program Project on biodemography with researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research and others; Mason and Lee, with National Transfer Accounts, which involves research teams in 28 different countries on 6 continents. These networks will be strengthened and supported, and other networks developed, through various kinds of Core C activities (the Specific Aims, repeated below): a) a program of visiting researchers spending from one week or up to more than a year at CEDA, thereby building or reinforcing network links, and learning or teaching approaches, methods, and theories (with travel sometimes funded through Core A); b) a series of conferences and workshops organized by CEDA members around themes related to their research on aging, drawing on researchers from elsewhere In the US and other countries, c) A program of more focused meetings of members of existing networks to address the common goals and develop common methodology and data formats, for example, d) Harmonization of data across many countries, as in HMD and NTA; e) technical assistance activities to train Third World foreign members of the NIA funded NTA project in construction and analysis of NTA data; f) Development of specialized websites (through Core D) for sharing data, software and methods, building intellectual links, disseminating research papers and findings, posting questions, and providing information about meetings, progress etc.
