Resources and Dissemination

外部研究资源支持和传播核心：项目 摘要/摘要 这一新提议的核心将支持“数据和测量领域的创新协作”的工作。 由芝加哥大学(UChicago)健康中心的研究人员共同发起的 老龄化行为和纵向调查(夏布利斯)和杜克人口健康和研究中心 老化(CPHA)。该协作核心将识别、设计、实施和评估数据收集方面的创新 以及在当前和未来以数据为重点的老龄化研究中使用的测量。数据方面的这些创新 收集和计量工作将侧重于以下问题：(A)调整计量方法 从实验室到实地环境中的认知和大脑功能；(B)扩大对活动的场所研究 评估从城市到农村的个人及其对健康和福祉的影响；以及(C)评估 如何更好地收集调查数据和来自医院和人口健康记录的数据- 以环境为基础，特别强调制定改进学科招聘和留住的方法 使用适应性同意程序来建立信任。CIDMA进行的评估将具有 快速转变，从设计到传播其调查结果(因此，我们将其称为快速评估)。 这些快速评估将侧重于制定具有成本效益和 这可以在一系列环境中实施，特别是那些针对基于人口的研究的“实地”环境。这个 CIDMA成员将在这些任务上合作，利用他们的特殊专业知识和 有在老龄化研究中收集数据的经验。该中心还将传播和教育研究 社区对其调查结果的看法。它将继续努力传播其调查结果，并建立对话 研究人员和调查操作专业人员之间的关系，以及他们在现有和未来研究中的应用。 该核心还将举办两个暑期研习班和一个项目结束专题讨论会/讲习班，以培训和 培养下一代研究老龄化的研究人员和数据收集专业人员。

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.
