> Good Morning,
>
>Following up on Dr. Neil's email, we still have some openings for the
>course and we will be offering some limited support for some students with
>needs.
>
>The course will use the enhanced national Long Term Care Survey files
>developed by NACDA with the support of NIA. These files will replace the
>existing NLTCS files previously distributed by Duke and as part of the
>NACDA Beta release. All participants will receive copies of the data and
>have access to the broader NACDA collections during the workshop.
>
>We welcome your applications. If you have any problems with the short
>time line feel free to contact me as we will be happy to extend the
>submission deadline for researchers with an interest in the NLTCS as well
>as NIA funded studies, health disability research, the aging lifecourse
>and the economics of aging.

>Designed to measure the longitudinal and cross-sectional health
>characteristics of the United States aged population The National
>Long-Term Care Surveys (NLTCS) represent a seminal research study of
>health transitions. Conducted in 1982, 1984, 1989, 1994, 1999 and 2004
>the study is unique in that researchers can estimate health transitions
>for the entire aged population over the period for non-institutionalized
>and institutionalized persons alike. In addition, the study collects
>correlates of health transitions and health service utilization through
>the questionnaire, providing the basis for model construction. The NLTCS
>series is linked with Medicare Part A and B information, mortality data,
>and Medicaid administrative files, considerably enriching the content of
>the study.
>
>The 2007 Summer Workshop introduces the files that make up the NLTCS. The
>course will cover linkage issues, weighting, and study attrition. Key
>changes made in the structure, organization, and documentation to these
>important data made by NACDA will be reviewed. A review of the extensive
>NLTCS documentation files will also be offered as part of this class.
>
>The course will focus on two issues: 1) The use of the recently released
>2004 NLTC data (November of 2006) and its potential research applications;
>2) The uses of the multiwave NLTCS files for studying a wide array of
>issues including health and disability, transitions into and out of
>institutionalized care and the impacts of family support on the elderly.
>
>Enrollment in the summer workshop is limited. Applications should include
>a vita as well as a cover letter describing background research, interests
>in and plans for utilizing NLTCS data. Limited support may be available
>for some students and junior faculty based upon need.
>
>Applications can be made on-line at the ICPSR Summer Program

>This program supports U.S. postdoctoral biomedical, epidemiological,
>clinical, social and behavioral scientists in the formative stages of
>their careers to conduct research in developing countries. These awards
>will provide the successful candidates with a three- to four-year period
>of intensive mentored research, leading to an independent research career
>focused on global health. This research must be directly linked to an
>established collaboration between a U.S. mentor/sponsor and a leading
>developing country scientist at an internationally recognized research
>institution in a developing country. Collaborations are expected to lead
>to advances that will reduce the impact of global health problems and
>narrow the gap in health disparities between developed and developing
>countries. Awardees who obtain a tenure track position may submit a
>competitive renewal application for up to three years of additional
>mentored career development support.

>Should I install Windows Vista ?

>Windows Vista includes Internet Explorer 7 (IE7) as the default web

>If you use your computer to access the NIH network, it is recommended that
