DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application is for a competing renewal of the English Longitudinal Study of Aging (ELSA). We seek partial funding to design and conduct two waves of data collection over a five-year period. We will match this funding with equivalent funding from British sources. ELSA has been modeled on the US Health and Retirement Study, with the important addition of biomedical, performance and psychosocial measures. Its primary objective is to collect longitudinal data on health, disability, economics, and social participation and networks, from a representative sample of the English population aged 50 and older. The value of ELSA is greatly enhanced by our collaboration with the HRS, giving the ability to conduct direct comparisons between the situation of older people in the US and the UK. At the end of the current funding cycle we will have completed two waves of data collection, including biomedical data and in addition to an earlier wave of data collected at a Health Survey for England contact. Over the next five years we will: 1. Design the survey instruments for further waves of data collection, covering economics, social participation and networks, health, functional ability, cognitive function, psychological well-being, and psychosocial risk factors. 2. Continue to test innovations in questionnaire design, sharing innovations with collaborative studies, such as the HRS. 3. Recruit a new cohort of respondents aged 50-54, at wave 3, in order to maintain cross-sectional representativeness and to study social and cross-cohort trends. 4. Interview approximately 11,200 respondents at wave 3 of ELSA and 10,200 respondents at wave 4 of ELSA. 5. Conduct a retrospective life course interview at wave 3 of ELSA in 2006. 6. Collect biomedical and physical performance data from respondents at wave 4 of ELSA in 2008. 7. Construct five waves of accessible and well-documented panel data. 8. Provide these data in a convenient and timely way to the scientific and policy research community. 9. Continue to liaise closely with the HRS and other international studies to maximize the utility of ELSA data.

描述（由申请人提供）：本申请用于英国老龄化纵向研究（ELSA）的竞争更新。我们寻求部分资金来设计和进行五年内的两波数据收集。我们将把这笔资金与英国来源的同等资金相匹配。 ELSA 以美国健康和退休研究为蓝本，重要地增加了生物医学、绩效和社会心理测量。其主要目标是从 50 岁及以上英国人口的代表性样本中收集有关健康、残疾、经济、社会参与和网络的纵向数据。我们与 HRS 的合作大大增强了 ELSA 的价值，使我们能够对美国和英国老年人的状况进行直接比较。在当前资助周期结束时，我们将完成两波数据收集，包括生物医学数据以及在英格兰健康调查联系人中收集的早期数据。未来五年我们将： 1. 设计进一步收集数据的调查工具，涵盖经济、社会参与和网络、健康、功能能力、认知功能、心理健康和社会心理风险因素。 2. 继续测试问卷设计的创新，与HRS等合作研究分享创新。 3. 在第 3 波中招募 50-54 岁的新受访者群体，以保持横截面代表性并研究社会和跨群体趋势。 4. 采访 ELSA 第 3 波中的约 11,200 名受访者和 ELSA 第 4 波中的 10,200 名受访者。 5. 在 2006 年 ELSA 第 3 波中进行回顾性生命历程访谈。 6. 收集 2008 年 ELSA 第 4 波受访者的生物医学和身体表现数据。 7. 构建五波可访问且记录良好的面板数据。 8. 向科学和政策研究界方便、及时地提供这些数据。 9. 继续与 HRS 和其他国际研究密切联系，以最大限度地利用 ELSA 数据。
