CORE--EXTERNAL INNOVATIVE NETWORKS

本核心侧重于RFA中所列三段中第一段所述的职能： 创新研究网络的发展，以加强研究机构（加州大学伯克利分校）以及在老龄化的一般领域。CEDA中央成员目前是一些创新网络的中心，包括McFadden的调查计量经济学; Wilmoth的人类死亡率数据库;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凯里计划项目; Tuljapurkar与基因组研究人员; Mason和Lee与国家转移账户; Lee与联合国死亡率预测方法。这些网络将通过四种核心活动得到加强和支持，并发展其他网络：1）访问研究人员在CEDA花费一到两个月的计划，主要是经济学，从而建立或加强网络链接，学习或教学方法，方法和理论; 2）由CEDA成员组织的一系列会议和研讨会，围绕与老龄化研究相关的主题，吸引美国其他地方和其他国家的研究人员。3)例如，现有网络成员的重点更突出的会议计划，以解决共同目标和制定共同方法和数据格式。4)开发专门网站，以分享数据和方法，建立知识联系，传播研究论文和研究结果，提出问题，并提供有关会议和进展等的信息。

This Core is focused on the functions described in the first of the three numbered paragraphs listed in the RFA: the development of innovative research networks to enhance research at the institution (UC Berkeley) as well as in the general field of aging. Central CEDA members are currently at the hub of a number of innovative networks, including McFadden for survey econometrics; Wilmoth, for Human Mortality Database; participants in the Carey Program Project on biodemography with researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research and others; Tuljapurkar with genomic researchers; Mason and Lee, with National Transfer Accounts; Lee, with UN mortality forecast methods. These networks will be strengthened and supported, and other networks developed, through four kinds of this core activities: 1) a program of visiting researchers spending from one to two months at CEDA, primarily in Economics, thereby building or reinforcing network links, and learning or teaching approaches, methods, and theories; 2) 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. 3) 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. 4) Development of specialized websites for sharing data and methods, building intellectual links, disseminating research papers and findings, posting questions, and providing information about meetings, progress etc.
