The Program Development Core of CDEHA focuses on development of the pilot (seed) grant program. This Core has the following specific aims: 1) developing and nurturing promising new small-scale seed and supplement projects relevant to the Center's theme areas; providing junior investigators with advice and assistance with the development of their research, access to diverse expertise, and mentorship from a senior faculty member; and supporting the preparation and submission of applications for peer reviewed research or career development awards; 2)encouraging the pursuit of careers in the study of issues in demography and economics of health and aging; and 3) developing and augmenting training opportunities such as workshops and seminars and serving as a focal point for innovative multidisciplinary research on important questions in the demography and economics of health and aging. The pilot projects are at the core of CDEHA's past and planned activities. These projects are highly leveraged investments into aging research at Stanford, and they meet additional goals of the University and of the research community more generally. They boost the careers of junior investigators, they stimulate interest in aging , research, and they encourage interdisciplinary collaboration. A central feature of the seed project program is the matching of a junior (advanced trainee or junior faculty) investigator with a senior faculty mentor, an arrangement that advances both substantive research and faculty development. Mentors are available from the Center for Health Policy/Center for Primary Care and Outcomes Research, economics, business, law, medicine, health research and policy, biological sciences, psychology, sociology, the Morrison Institute for PopulationResearch Studies, the Stanford Institute for International Studies, and the VA Health Economics Research Center. We propose to support four new pilot/seed projects initially, with two projects awarded in each of the first two years. The first and second projects will be initiated in Year 1 of the renewal, and the third and fourth projects will be initiated in Year 2 of the renewal: First, a study of affective states across several age groups, to determine the effects of emotions on health choices; second, a micro data analysis of the variation in treatment and control rates of hypertension among the elderly, stratified by ethnic minority; third, an analysis that addresses the relationship between obesity and the costs of employer-sponsored health insurance; and fourth, an examination of eider care, gender, and son preference in the context of the role of cultural transmission and diffusion during the process of rural-urban migration in China. Seed research conducted by earlier grantees has led to insights in such areas as racial and ethnic disparities in technology utilization in aged populations; socioeconomic and psychological factors affecting health care decisions among the elderly; cost-effectiveness of medical procedures common in the aged; and trends in and determinants of health care utilization, functional status outcomes, and Chinese uxorilocal marriage patterns among the elderly.

CDEHA的计划开发核心重点是开发飞行员（种子）赠款计划。该核心具有以下特定目标：1）开发和培育有希望的新的小规模种子，并补充与中心主题领域相关的项目；为初级调查人员提供有关研究，获得多样化专业知识以及高级教职员工的指导的建议和协助；并支持同行审查的研究或职业发展奖的准备和提交申请； 2）鼓励在人口统计学和卫生和衰老经济学问题的研究中追求职业； 3）开发和增强培训机会，例如研讨会和研讨会，并成为对健康和衰老的人口统计学和经济学中重要问题的创新多学科研究的重点。试点项目是CDEHA过去和计划活动的核心。这些项目是对斯坦福大学衰老研究的高度杠杆投资，它们更符合大学和研究界的其他目标。他们促进了初级调查人员的职业，他们激发了人们对衰老，研究的兴趣，并鼓励跨学科的合作。种子项目计划的一个核心特征是将初级学员或初级教师）与高级教师导师进行匹配，该安排既可以促进实质研究和教师发展。导师可从中心提供 卫生政策/初级保健与结果研究中心，经济学，商业，法律，医学，健康研究与政策，生物科学，心理学，社会学，莫里森人口研究所研究所，斯坦福大学国际研究所和VA健康经济研究中心。我们建议最初支持四个新的飞行员/种子项目，在前两年中，每个项目都授予了两个项目。第一个和第二个项目将在续签的第一年开始，第三和第四个项目将在续签的第二年开始：第一，对几个年龄段的情感状态进行研究，以确定 情绪对健康选择的影响；其次，对老年人的治疗和控制率变化的微观数据分析，由少数民族分层；第三，该分析涉及肥胖与雇主赞助的健康保险成本之间的关系；第四，在中国农村移民过程中文化传播和扩散的作用的背景下，对埃德护理，性别和儿子的偏好进行了检查。较早的受赠人进行的种子研究导致了在老年人口中的种族和种族差异等领域的见解。影响老年人医疗决定的社会经济和心理因素；老年人常见的医疗程序的成本效益；以及老年人中医疗保健利用率，功能状况结果以及中国乌西里尔的婚姻模式的趋势和决定因素。
