Harmonization of Cross-National Studies of Aging to HRS (NIA)

项目摘要 许多基于HRS家族研究的跨国研究对衰老有了新的见解 世界各地的行为和健康差距。该项目将继续支持开发新的 全球协调HRS(ATW)数据的国际研究。该项目还将保持 在现有可比较的人力资源评估研究之间进行协调和数据开发，并促进跨国 研究议程。有许多目标与这一目标相一致。首先，我们将亲自组织 以及虚拟协调会议，将把所有主要调查人员和研究小组聚集在一起 HRS--该领域的家庭调查和相关内容专家。这些会议的目的将是改进 协调现有的人力资源评估调查；支持开发新的类似人力资源评估的调查；以及 制定进一步创新HRS系列调查的战略。二是支持小规模 试点和组织研究会议，将带来调查内容或方法的新创新 进入HRS研究网络，并向网络外的研究人员开放。第三，我们将培育 在人力资源服务网络中发展新的研究，以便他们能够成功地和 与更成熟的现有HRS ATW研究具有良好的可比性。最后，我们将支持集团内的子 巴西、印度、中国和南非(金砖国家)建立联合研究和融资网络 从各自国家开展联合研究，提升学习内容。我们打算共享报告 总结协调会议上的主要讨论、小规模试点的结果和期刊 通过HRS ATW网站从该网络的活动中获得的文章和其他研究产品。我们 将通过我们的网络成员、人口中心网络和专业人士推广这些内容 关联，使用多个平台。

Project Summary Many cross-national studies based on the HRS family of studies have yielded new insights about aging behaviors and health disparities around the world. This project will continue to support the development of new international studies with harmonized HRS around the world (ATW) data. The project will also maintain harmonization and data development among existing comparable HRS studies and foster a cross-country research agenda. There are a number of aims consistent with that objective. First, we will organize in-person and virtual harmonization meetings that will bring together the principal investigators and study teams of all HRS-family surveys and relevant content experts in the field. The purpose of these meetings will be to improve harmonization among the existing HRS surveys; to support the development of new HRS-like surveys; and to develop a strategy for further innovations to the HRS family of surveys. Second, we will support small-scale pilots and organize research conferences that will bring new innovations in survey contents or methodology into the HRS network of studies, and be open to researchers outside of the network. Third, we will foster the development of the new studies in the HRS network so that they can launch their studies successfully and with good comparability to the more mature existing HRS ATW studies. Finally, we will support a within group sub- network involving Brazil, India, China, and South Africa (BRICS) to conduct joint studies and seek financing from their countries to conduct joint research and enhance study content. We intend to share reports summarizing key discussions at the harmonization meetings, the results of small-scale pilots, and journal articles and other research products deriving from the Network’s activities through the HRS ATW website. We will promote these contents through our Network members, population-center networks, and professional associations, using multiple platforms.
