项目摘要

Project Summary/Abstract The Life Course Center (LCC) at the University of Minnesota is an emerging incubator for innovative research on the demography and economics of aging. As an NIA-supported University-wide cooperative, LCC will recruit and foster connections among researchers across disciplines; develop leading-edge collaborative pilot studies on aging contexts, trends, dynamics, and disparities; provide technical and administrative support for research development; and develop a research network to leverage large-scale population data to advance interdisciplinary scholarship on social determinants and contexts of aging and health. Over the next five years, we will focus on three research themes that are crucial to understanding the demography and economics of our aging society. These themes leverage our intellectual strengths and unique resources: (1) Later Life-Course Population Trends in Context: Determinants within and across space, time, and social location of population trends at older ages in physical and cognitive functioning (including AD/ADRD), disability, morbidity, mortality, health and well-being. (2) Life-Course Dynamics as Disparity Mechanisms: How life-course pathways foster disparities in healthy aging, including protective factors (e.g., social engagement and support, income adequacy, positive early determinants, and health behaviors). (3) Interrelationships of Work, Family, Community Participation, and Health: Consequences of later life work, family and community participation for health outcomes of older workers and retirees. We will establish three infrastructure cores to overcome key barriers to path-breaking research: Core A: Administrative and Research Support Core. This Core will provide leadership and vision, as well as logistical support and oversight for the activities of the other two Cores. This Core will also be responsible for meeting all reporting requirements to the Coordinating Center. Core B: Program Development Core. LCC will support small-scale, innovative interdisciplinary research projects. The Core will annually fund four to six outstanding pilot projects proposed by LCC members and from members of the External Innovative Network Core. The proposed pilot program will prioritize support of early career investigators as well as investigators from historically underrepresented groups. Core C: External Innovative Network Core. The Network will foster an interdisciplinary community of researchers focusing on the demography and economics of aging who will share knowledge and resources for using big population data and for applying a life-course perspective to aging research. The Network Core will address challenges associated with big population data, prospective longitudinal data based on record linkage, and restricted access data.

项目摘要/摘要明尼苏达大学的生命课程中心（LCC）是新兴的创新研究孵化器关于衰老的人口统计学和经济学。作为NIA支持大学范围的合作社，LCC将招募并促进研究人员之间跨学科的联系；开发领先的协作试点研究在衰老的情况下，趋势，动态和差异；为研究提供技术和行政支持发展;并开发一个研究网络来利用大规模的人口数据来推进关于衰老和健康的社会决定因素和环境的跨学科奖学金。在接下来的五年中，我们将专注于三个研究主题，这些研究主题对于理解我们的人口统计学和经济学至关重要衰老社会。这些主题利用了我们的智力优势和独特的资源：（1）以后的生活课程上下文中的人口趋势：人口时空，时间和社会位置的决定因素身体和认知功能较大年龄段的趋势（包括AD/ADRD），残疾，发病率，死亡率，健康与福祉。（2）生命课程动态作为差异机制：生命课程如何促进健康衰老的差异，包括保护因素（例如，社会参与和支持，收入充足性，积极的早期决定因素和健康行为）。（3）工作，家庭，社区的相互关系参与和健康：以后的生活，家庭和社区参与健康的后果老年工人和退休人员的成果。我们将建立三个基础设施核心，以克服关键障碍突破性研究：核心A：行政和研究支持核心。这个核心将提供领导和远见，以及对其他两个核心活动的后勤支持和监督。这个核心也将负责满足对协调中心的所有报告要求。核心B：计划开发核。 LCC将支持小规模的创新跨学科研究项目。核心每年将资助 LCC成员和外部创新成员提出的四到六个杰出的试点项目网络核心。拟议的试点计划将优先考虑早期职业调查人员的支持以及历史上代表性不足的群体的调查人员。核心C：外部创新网络核心。网络将培养一个专注于人口统计学和经济学的研究人员的跨学科社区谁将分享使用大量人口数据并应用人生观点的知识和资源进行衰老研究。网络核心将解决与大人口数据相关的挑战，预期基于记录链接和限制访问数据的纵向数据。
