Abstract
PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT â Core E: External Research Resources Support Core The objective of Core E is to facilitate the development and broad sharing of user-friendly databases created by CEDA affiliates. We build on CEDAâs past successes in sharing data that are accessed by thousands of external users, particularly through the creation of clean and consistent data intended for use by policy and lay communities in addition to academic researchers. Core Eâs three aims are designed to (1) assist affiliates in broadly sharing the data resources that they are creating, (2) train researchers in their use, and (3) further develop innovative and user-friendly data resources. Given that CEDA has long been a leader in the development and dissemination of macro-demographic data on aging, especially applying formal demographic methods for construction of cutting-edge life table data for mortality analyses, among other projects we propose to continue notable support for sharing regularly updated data from the widely used Human Mortality Database. The ultimate goal of Core E is to expand and democratize use of these resources so as to increase CEDA-relevant research by external constituencies, including early career researchers as well as those outside of research-intensive universities.
