Michigan Center on the Demography of Aging

描述（由申请人提供）：本申请为NIA P30密歇根老龄化人口研究中心（MiCDA） 21-25年申请资金。MiCDA的首要目标是促进密歇根大学和UM社区以外的人口统计学和老龄化经济学的新研究。MiCDA位于密歇根大学社会研究所（ISR），由该研究所的人口研究中心和调查研究中心共同管理，是从事老龄化相关研究的校园单位之间的关键纽带。在未来五年中，MiCDA将围绕四个标志性主题开展活动，进一步推进研究：(1)慢性疾病和残疾；(2)影响晚年健康和福祉的生命历程决定因素；(3)老龄化、遗传学和社会科学；(4)储蓄和退休经济学。MICDA还将继续促进在国内和国际上广泛使用密歇根州nia资助的数据收集。具体而言，研究将通过以下核心部门来促进：核心A.行政和研究支持核心部门将继续管理MiCDA活动，并将向MiCDA附属机构提供网络、计算和数据相关的支持服务。核心b：项目发展核心将继续致力于加强美开发署的师资力量，并资助15-20个突出标志性主题的试点项目。核心C.外部创新网络核心将通过四个网络促进中心标志性领域的新研究：老年残疾趋势、国际HRS姐妹研究、美国老龄化纵向研究和生命过程健康动态与差异。核心D.传播核心将传播MiCDA附属机构的研究结果，并通过基于密歇根州的nia支持的调查促进老龄化研究。核心E. MICDA Enclave将提供对需要特殊保护的受限老龄化相关数据的访问。这一周期的目标是扩大其持有量，开展外联活动，提供使用和保护机密数据的培训，并开展研究以改善获取和保密保护。核心F.协调中心将加强P30计划的沟通，并将与人口资料局合作，向公众传播各中心的调查结果。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application requests funding for Years 21-25 of the NIA P30 Michigan Center on the Demography of Aging (MiCDA). The overarching goal of MiCDA is to promote new research on the demography and economics of aging at both the University of Michigan and outside the UM community. Housed at Michigan's Institute for Social Research (ISR) and jointly run by ISR's Population Studies Center and Survey Research Center, MiCDA serves as a critical link across campus units that are doing aging-related research. Over the next five years, MiCDA will undertake activities to further advance research around four signature themes: (1) chronic disease and disability; (2) life course determinants of late-life health and well-being; (3) aging, genetics, and social science; and (4) economics of savings and retirement. MICDA will also continue to promote the wide use of Michigan's NIA-funded data collections nationally and internationally. Specifically research will be promoted through the following Cores: Core A. The Administration and Research Support Core will continue to administer MiCDA activities and will provide web, computing, and data-related support services to MiCDA affiliates. Core B. The Program Development Core will continue its focus on strengthening MiCDA's faculty and funding 15-20 pilot projects that highlight signature themes. Core C. The External Innovative Network Core's will facilitate new research in the Center's signature areas through four networks: TRENDS in Old-Age Disability, International HRS Sister Studies, Longitudinal Studies of Aging in the U.S., and Life Course Health Dynamics and Disparities. Core D. The Dissemination Core will distribute findings by MiCDA affiliates and promote aging research with Michigan-based NIA-supported surveys. Core E. The MICDA Enclave will provide access to restricted aging-related data that require special protection. Goals this cycle are to expand its holdings, engage in outreach activities, offer training in the use and protection of confidential data, and conduct research to improve access and confidentiality protection. Core F. The Coordinating Center will enhance communication for the P30 program and will work with the Population Reference Bureau to disseminate findings from across the Centers to the public.
