DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): NBER Center for Aging and Health Research. This application proposes a continuation of the NBER Center for Aging and Health Research through June 2014. The Center serves two primary functions: first, as the integrating umbrella for an extensive network of research and related activities in aging at the NBER, and second, as the organizational mechanism and stimulus for developing new and innovative research directions in aging. The Center is instrumental in promoting an extensive agenda of research activity by economists on issues in aging, in serving and coordinating a large community of economic scholars engaged in aging-related research through the NBER, and in advancing the "economics of aging" as an important subfield of economics exploration. The Administrative and Research Support Core provides administrative and coordinating services to the Center, centralized data management, and academic leadership for the overall NBER research program in aging. The Program Development Core supports smaller-scale exploratory research on new and innovative project ideas. The External Innovative Network Core promotes and supports collaborative research groups dealing with more complex research issues, and involves both domestic and multi-national research collaborations. The External Research Resources Support and Dissemination Core provides for the broad communication of important research findings, including the preparation of numerous non-technical reports on Center research Together, these cores are a tremendous resource in leveraging, promoting and enhancing the NBER's large and diverse research activities in aging and health. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: The financial circumstances of older Americans, work and retirement behavior, health and functional ability, and the many public and private policies that influence individual wellbeing all are in a state of continuing evolution and transition. Understanding the complexities of this situation and the relationships between demographics, policy, behavior, economics, and health is the substantive aim of the Center.

描述（由申请人提供）：NBER衰老和健康研究中心。该申请提出了NBER衰老和健康研究中心的延续，直到2014年6月。该中心提供两个主要功能：首先，作为整合伞，用于NBER的广泛研究和相关活动网络，其次是组织机制和刺激，用于开发新的和创新的研究方向。该中心有助于促进经济学家在衰老，为通过NBER提供与衰老相关的研究的大量经济学者社区的衰老问题，并将“老化经济学”作为经济学探索的重要子领域推进与老化有关的研究的广泛议程。行政和研究支持核心为中心，集中数据管理以及整体NBER研究计划提供了行政和协调服务。计划开发核心支持有关新的和创新的项目思想的较小规模的探索性研究。外部创新网络核心促进和支持处理更复杂的研究问题的协作研究小组，并涉及国内和跨国研究合作。外部研究资源支持和传播核心为重要的研究发现提供了广泛的沟通，包括准备中心研究的众多非技术报告，这些核心是利用，促进和增强NBER在衰老和健康方面的大型多样化研究方面的巨大资源。 公共卫生相关性：老年人的财务状况，工作和退休行为，健康和职能能力，以及影响个人健康的许多公共和私人政策都处于持续发展和过渡的状态。了解这种情况的复杂性以及人口统计学，政策，行为，经济学和健康之间的关系是该中心的实质目标。
