DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The goal of this application is to develop a research network for "Harmonization of cross-national studies of aging to the Health and Retirement Study (HRS)." This network will support the development of new international studies with harmonized data, maintain harmonization and data development among existing comparable studies, and develop a cross-national research agenda. Harmonization of cross-national studies of aging to the HRS is one of the specific targeted emerging research areas identified under the PAR-09-233 Network Infrastructure Support for Emerging Behavioral and Social Research Areas in Aging. To foster cross-national studies of aging, we propose to develop a research network, bringing together leading scientists, data producers, and users of the HRS family of surveys. Through the proposed network support activities, we will accomplish the following five aims: (Aim 1) Organize an annual harmonization meeting, bringing together the principal investigators of all HRS-family surveys. The purpose of these meetings will be to maintain and improve harmonization among existing HRS-family surveys and to support development of new HRS-like surveys. (Aim 2) Document the comparability, prepare harmonized measures, and provide training on the HRS family of surveys. Using the HRS User Guides and the RAND HRS documentation as a model, we will prepare documentation about the concepts, measures, and questions in each HRS-family survey as well as on their comparability in seven specific domains (e.g,, labor force participation and retirement, chronic diseases). (Aim 3) Support small-scale pilots for establishing cross-national comparability. (Aim 4) Create network opportunities for users of the HRS family of surveys through biennial user conferences and the Internet discussion board, and provide technical support for users. (Aim 5) Disseminate the resources developed for harmonization (e.g., user manuals, conference proceedings) and the findings from cross national studies using the HRS family of surveys through public websites including those of RAND and each of the surveys.

描述（由申请人提供）：本申请的目标是开发一个研究网络，以“协调跨国老龄化研究与健康和退休研究（HRS）”。该网络将支持使用统一数据开展新的国际研究，维持现有可比研究之间的协调和数据开发，并制定跨国研究议程。跨国老龄化研究与 HRS 的协调是 PAR-09-233 老龄化新兴行为和社会研究领域网络基础设施支持中确定的具体目标新兴研究领域之一。为了促进老龄化问题的跨国研究，我们建议建立一个研究网络，将领先的科学家、数据生产者和 HRS 系列调查的用户聚集在一起。通过拟议的网络支持活动，我们将实现以下五个目标：（目标 1）组织年度协调会议，将所有 HRS 家庭调查的主要研究者聚集在一起。这些会议的目的是维持和改善现有 HRS 家庭调查之间的协调性，并支持新的类似 HRS 的调查的开发。 （目标 2）记录可比性，制定统一的措施，并提供有关 HRS 系列调查的培训。使用 HRS 用户指南和兰德 HRS 文档作为模型，我们将准备有关每个 HRS 家庭调查中的概念、措施和问题的文档，以及它们在七个特定领域（例如，劳动力参与和退休、慢性病）。 （目标 3）支持小规模试点，建立跨国可比性。 （目标 4）通过每两年一次的用户会议和互联网讨论区为 HRS 系列调查的用户创造网络机会，并为用户提供技术支持。 （目标 5）通过公共网站（包括兰德公司的网站和每项调查）传播为统一而开发的资源（例如用户手册、会议记录）以及使用 HRS 系列调查的跨国研究结果。
