Center on the Demography and Economics of Health and Aging

描述（由申请人提供）：CDEHA促进人口、经济、健康和医疗保健趋势的研究，以及这些趋势对老年人福祉的影响。CDEHA有以下具体目标：促进在美国和其他国家对老年人口的医疗保健、费用、人口统计以及健康和经济结果进行纵向和队列研究。2. 促进应用人口统计技术，包括生物人口学，以了解老年人的生存、健康和福祉随时间的变化。3. 促进医疗技术和卫生保健决策对老年人成本、健康结果和福祉影响的研究。4. 促进和加强斯坦福大学及其合作机构（包括其他人口统计中心）在人口统计学和老龄化经济学方面的研究。建议支助行政和通讯基础设施（核心A）；新项目发展（核心B）；外部创新网络（核心C）和外部研究资源支持和传播（核心D）。每一个核心都补充了对斯坦福大学各个部门和中心正在进行的活动的现有支持。咨询委员会将负责监督CDEHA的活动。受益于支持多学科研究的大学环境，CDEHA可以获得与其项目领域相关学科的临床专业知识和优势的独特组合；能够利用正在进行的项目和研究支持的广泛基础；收集与项目领域相关的美国和国际数据，以及处理大型纵向数据库的专业知识。该中心将支持加强通信、研讨会、讲习班和研究开发。它包含了吸引实习生和初级教员的机制。CDEHA将继续作为能够吸引大量资金的不断增长的研究机构的核心。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): CDEHA promotes the study of trends in demography, economics, health, and health care, and the effects of these trends on the well-being of the elderly. CDEHA has the following specific aims: 1. to promote the conduct of longitudinal and cohort studies of medical care, costs, demographics, and health and economic outcomes of older populations, in the United States and other countries. 2. To promote the application of demographic techniques, including biodemography, to understand changes in survival, health, and well-being among the elderly over time. 3. To promote the study of the effects of medical technology and health care decisions on costs, health outcomes, and well-being of the elderly. 4. To promote and enhance research in the demography and economics of aging at Stanford and in collaborating institutions, including other demography centers. Support is proposed for administrative and communications infrastructure (Core A); new project development (Core B); an external innovative network (Core C) and external research resources support and dissemination (Core D). Each of these Core supplements existing support for ongoing activities in various Stanford departments and centers. An Advisory Committee will be responsible for oversight of CDEHA activities. Benefiting from a University environment that supports multidisciplinary research, CDEHA has access to a unique combination of clinical expertise and strength in disciplines relevant to its program areas; the ability to draw upon an extensive foundation of ongoing projects and research support; and collections of U.S. and international data relevant to the program areas, along with the expertise to work with large longitudinal databases. This center will support enhanced communications, seminars, workshops, and research development. It incorporates mechanisms to attract trainees and junior faculty. CDEHA will continue to serve as the core of a growing body of research that has been able to attract substantial funding.
