This application is to design and field the Health and Retirement Study (HRS) and the study of Asset and Health Dynamics Among the Oldest Old (AHEAD) for a six-year period (2000-2005). In 1998, the HRS and AHEAD studies were merged and added two new birth cohorts. The combined study is referred to as the Health and Retirement Study. The HRS was designed to provide a uniquely rich longitudinal dataset for the community of scientific and policy researchers who study the health, economics and demography of aging. The design and execution of the survey has involved the active participation of a large number of scientists from a broad array of disciplines. HRS has evolved considerably from its inception, guided by input from its Steering and Data Monitoring Committees, the broader research community, and scientific review panels that have evaluated earlier proposals. HRS is currently comprised o four birth cohorts: persons born in 1931-41 and their spouses (HRS original cohort); persons born before 1924 and their spouses (AHEAD cohort); and, persons born in 1942-47 ("War Babies") and 1924-30 ("Children of the Depression") and their spouses who were not already included in the original HRS or AHEAD cohorts. We plan to add a new 6-year cohort of Americans entering their 50's in 2004, and every sixth year thereafter. Respondents are followed longitudinally at two-year intervals until they die. In addition to the core biennial interviews, we plan to continue the development of complementary data sources from employer pension plans and from linked administrative data, including Social Security and Medicare records. We will also explore possible linkages associated with geocoding, and employer and nursing home characteristics, as associated with our sample members. In sum, our goals for this period are: l) Continue data collection on the original HRS and AHEAD cohorts; 2) Collect longitudinal data on the new cohorts introduced in 1998; 3) Begin baseline data collection on the "Early Boomer" cohort of 1948-53 in 2004; 4) Continue developing complementary data sources; 5) Enhance data quality; 6) Enhance data distribution and dissemination; 7) Expand outreach activities; and, 8) Continue to innovate content and survey methodology.

该应用是为了设计和实施健康和退休研究（HRS）以及对六年（2000-2005）最古老的旧（前方）中资产和健康动态的研究。 1998年，HR和前面的研究合并并增加了两个新的出生队列。联合研究称为健康和退休研究。 HRS旨在为研究衰老的健康，经济学和人口统计学的科学和政策研究人员社区提供独特的纵向数据集。调查的设计和执行涉及来自广泛学科的大量科学家的积极参与。人力资源组织从其成立开始就大大发展了，其指导是其转向和数据监测委员会，更广泛的研究社区以及评估了早期建议的科学审查小组的指导。 HRS目前由四个出生队列组成：1931 - 41年出生的人及其配偶（HRS原始队列）； 1924年以前出生的人及其配偶（前任）；而且，出生于1942 - 47年的人（“战争婴儿”）和1924 - 30年（“抑郁症之子”）及其配偶及其配偶尚未包含在原始的HRS或领先的同伙中。我们计划在2004年添加新的6年美国人，以便在2004年进入他们的50年代，此后六年。受访者以两年的间隔纵向遵循，直到死亡。除了进行核心双年展访谈外，我们还计划继续从雇主退休金计划以及包括社会保障和医疗保险记录在内的链接行政数据中开发补充数据来源。我们还将探索与地理编码的可能联系，以及与样本成员相关的雇主和疗养院特征。总而言之，我们在此期间的目标是：l）继续对原始人力资源和前方人群的数据收集； 2）收集有关1998年推出的新队列的纵向数据； 3）在2004年的1948 - 53年“早期潮一代”队列上开始基线数据收集； 4）继续开发互补的数据源； 5）提高数据质量； 6）增强数据分布和传播； 7）扩大外展活动； 8）继续创新内容和调查方法。
