Abstract
The National Institute on Aging (NIA) has contributed to the remarkable growth in the field of gerontology. One of the many ways the NIA has contributed is through the creation and support of an extensive body of relevant data resources. This paper focuses primarily on NIA's support for the creation and use of these data sources in research, including mention of related documentation, archiving, harmonization, and dissemination/data access activities. Through all of these efforts, NIA-supported data have been used by researchers and policy analysts across a wide range of scholarly disciplines, producing a large body of research that provides a scientific foundation for policy and practice.
期刊介绍：
The Gerontologist, published since 1961, is a bimonthly journal of The Gerontological Society of America that provides a multidisciplinary perspective on human aging by publishing research and analysis on applied social issues. It informs the broad community of disciplines and professions involved in understanding the aging process and providing care to older people. Articles should include a conceptual framework and testable hypotheses. Implications for policy or practice should be highlighted. The Gerontologist publishes quantitative and qualitative research and encourages manuscript submissions of various types including: research articles, intervention research, review articles, measurement articles, forums, and brief reports. Book and media reviews, International Spotlights, and award-winning lectures are commissioned by the editors.
