Resources and Dissemination

外部研究资源支持和传播核心：项目 总结/摘要 这一新提议的核心将支持“2010年数据与测量创新合作”的工作。 美国芝加哥大学（U芝加哥）健康中心的研究人员合作， 老龄化行为和纵向调查（CHABLIS）和杜克人口健康中心， 老化（CPHA）。该合作核心将确定、设计、实施和评估数据收集方面的创新 和测量用于当前和未来的数据为重点的研究老化。这些数据创新 收集和衡量将侧重于以下问题：（a）调整衡量方法 认知和大脑功能从实验室到现场环境;（B）扩大基于场所的活动研究 从城市到农村环境中的个人健康状况及其对健康和福祉的影响;以及（c）评估 改善调查数据和医院和人口健康记录数据收集的方法， 基于环境，特别强调开发方法以改善受试者招募和保留， 使用适应性同意过程来建立信任。CIDMA进行的评估将 快速周转，从设计到传播其调查结果（因此，我们称之为快速评估）。 这些快速评估将侧重于制定具有成本效益的措施和方法， 这可以在一系列环境中实施，特别是在“实地”进行基于人口的研究。的 CIDMA的成员将在这些任务上合作，利用他们的特殊专长， 在老龄化研究中收集数据的经验。该核心还将传播和教育研究 社区对其调查结果。它将继续努力传播其调查结果，并建立对话机制， 研究人员和调查业务专业人员之间的关系，以及它们在现有和未来研究中的应用。 该核心还将举办两次暑期讲习班和一次项目结束研讨会/讲习班， 教育下一代研究人员和数据收集专业人员研究衰老。

EXTERNAL RESEARCH RESOURCES SUPPORT AND DISSEMINATION CORE: PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT This new proposed Core will support the work of the “Collaborative for Innovation in Data & Measurement in Aging” (CIDMA) a collaboration of researchers at the University of Chicago (UChicago) Center for Healthy Aging Behaviors and Longitudinal InvestigationS (CHABLIS) and the Duke Center for Population Health and Aging (CPHA). This Collaborative Core will identify, design, conduct and assess innovations in data collection and measurement for use in current and future data-focused studies of aging. These innovations in data collection and measurement will be focused on the following issues: (a) adapting methods for measuring cognition and brain functioning from laboratory to field settings; (b) extending place-based studies of activities of individuals and their consequences for health and well-being from urban to rural settings; and (c) assessing ways to improve the collection of survey data and data from health records in both hospital- and population- based settings, with special emphasis on developing methods to improve subject recruitment and retention and the use of adaptive consenting processes to establish trust. The assessments conducted by CIDMA will have rapid turnaround, from design to dissemination of its findings (thus, we refer to them as Rapid Assessments). These Rapid Assessments will be focused on developing measures and methods that are cost-effective and that can be implemented in a range of settings, especially those “in the field” for population-based studies. The members of CIDMA will work collaboratively on these tasks, drawing on both their particular expertise and experience in data collection in studies of aging. This Core also will disseminate and educate the research community on its findings. It will maintain an on-going dissemination effort of its findings and create a dialogue between researchers and survey operations professionals, and their application to existing and future studies. This Core also will conduct two summer institutes and an end-of-project symposium/workshop to train and educate the next generation of researchers and data collection professionals in the study of aging.
