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 ofthe 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-nafional 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. RELEVANCE (See instructions): The proposed research network activities will facilitate harmonization of the HRS family of surveys and cross-national studies on aging, health, and retirement. These network activities will provide immediate benefits for the producers and users of the HRS family of surveys and broader benefits for the entire research community.

描述（由申请人提供）：本申请的目的是开发一个研究网络，以“对健康和退休研究（HRS）的跨国研究协调”。该网络将支持使用统一数据的新国际研究的发展，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。对人力资源管理的跨国研究协调是针对衰老的新兴行为和社会研究领域的PAR-09-233网络基础设施支持下确定的特定有针对性的新兴研究领域之一。为了培养衰老的跨国研究，我们建议开发一个研究网络，将HRS调查家族家族的主要科学家，数据生产者和用户汇总在一起。通过拟议的网络支持活动，我们将完成以下五个目标：（目标1）组织年度协调会议，将所有HRS家庭调查的主要调查人员汇集在一起​​。这些会议的目的是维持和改善现有的HRS家庭调查中的协调，并支持类似HRS的新调查的开发。 （AIM 2）记录可比性，准备统一的措施并提供有关HRS调查系列的培训。我们将使用HRS用户指南和RAND HRS文档作为模型，我们将在每个HRS家庭调查中以及它们在七个特定领域的可比性中准备有关概念，措施和问题的文档（例如，劳动力参与和劳动力参与和退休，慢性疾病）。 （AIM 3）支持小规模的飞行员建立跨NA的可比性。 （AIM 4）通过双年展的用户会议和Internet讨论板为人力资源管理家庭的用户创造网络机会，并为用户提供技术支持。 （AIM 5）传播用于协调的资源（例如，用户手册，会议记录）以及跨国研究的发现，使用HRS家族调查通过公共网站（包括RAND和每个调查的人）进行调查。相关性（请参阅说明）：拟议的研究网络活动将促进对衰老，健康和退休的HRS家族调查和跨国研究的协调。这些网络活动将为HRS家族的生产者和用户提供直接的好处，并为整个研究社区提供更广泛的好处。
