Resources for Gerontological and Social Science Researchers from NACDA

Abstract

NACDA, funded by the National Institute on Aging and part of ICPSR, acquires and preserves data relevant to gerontological research, processing as needed to promote effective research use, disseminates them to researchers, and facilitates their use. By preserving and making available the largest library of electronic data on aging in the United States, NACDA offers opportunities for secondary analysis on major issues of scientific and policy relevance. This free webinar provides an overview of the data we have archived within NACDA and will guide users on how to navigate our site, as well as highlight the potential of our longitudinal collections. The goals of this webinar were to familiarize attendees with NACDA resources; help attendees understand how to access the data, deposit data, and about the restricted data application process; provide insights into our efforts to enhance access to longitudinal data; facilitate feedback and answer questions.
