Grant Description

This limited competition FOA is to continue the Health and Retirement Study (HRS) as the pre-eminent resource of publicly-available data for researchers, policy analysts and program planners who are studying and/or making major policy decisions that affect retirement, pensions, health insurance, savings and economic well-being. The purpose of this FOA is to solicit an application for the next 6-year cycle of the HRS. The goals of this next phase are to continue the steady-state longitudinal design for data collection and content; continue innovative sub-studies such as on consumption and time use; enhance content and methods on health, functioning, cognitive status, wealth, pensions, family structure, and psychosocial factors; continue to develop relevant linkages to administrative data; maintain and enhance data distribution and user support; and extend harmonization efforts with internationally comparable surveys of population aging.
