>Dear NIA Center Directors,
>
>Good Afternoon,
>
>I am sending this call for papers and asking if you could share this
>with your colleagues, graduate students and post doctoral
>fellows. NIA is funding NACDA to host a two day conference that
>will generate new research based upon the 2004 Wave of the National
>Long Term Care Survey released last year by Duke University and
>available through NACDA. The 2004 Wave can be used alone or in
>combination with other NLTCS waves or comparatively with other data
>sets. We anticipate holding the conference at the NIH Campus in
>Bethesda Maryland in March of 2009 and we will support the travel
>costs of platform speakers chosen from the submitted abstracts. We
>may also be able to accept additional papers or some poster
>presentations if Centers can support the travel of the authors, a
>potential opportunity for graduate students to visit the NIH Campus
>and meet NIA Program Officers. At present we are requesting a 500
>word abstract from interested authors to be submitted to
><mailto:NACDA_at_icpsr.umich.edu>NACDA_at_icpsr.umich.edu by July 31st, 2008.
>
>We are now concluding Phase II of the NLTCS update process and we
>will supply all interested researchers with the revised NLTCS data,
>now available in SAS, SPSS or STATA system files. We expect
>Battelle to complete the final creation of new NLTCS cross-sectional
>weights with full documentation of the NLTCS weighting process by
>early Fall at which time new weights will be supplied to all registered users.
>
>I appreciate your willingness to share this information with your
>colleagues and if you or anyone at your Centers have any questions
>please feel free to contact me at any time.
>
>Sincerely,
>James McNally
