The Network for Data-Intensive Research on Aging (NDIRA) at Minnesota’s Life Course Center will support an emerging interdisciplinary community of scientists using novel collections of cross-sectional, longitudinal, and contextual data for research on population aging. NDIRA will bring established scholars of aging together with scholars new to the field and introduce them to data that are fundamental to understanding health outcomes at older ages. By fostering communication and collaboration, as well as providing hands-on assistance in data management and analysis, we will contribute to both the talent pool and the data resource pool for addressing the demography and economics of aging.
