National Archive of Computerized Data on Aging

The National Archive of Computerized Data on Aging (NACDA), located within ICPSR, is funded by the National Institute on Aging. NACDA's mission is to advance research on aging by helping researchers to profit from the under-exploited potential of a broad range of datasets. NACDA 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.全国老龄化计算机化数据档案馆（National Archive of Computerized Data on Aging，NACDA）隶属于ICPSR，由美国国家老龄化研究所资助。其使命为协助研究者发掘多类数据集尚未被充分利用的研究潜力，以此推动老龄化领域的科研进展。NACDA负责收集并保存与老年学研究相关的数据，按需开展处理以优化其科研可用性，随后向研究者分发数据并推动其高效使用。凭借馆藏并提供美国规模最大的老龄化电子数据文库，NACDA为针对兼具科学与政策意义的重大议题开展二次分析提供了重要机遇。
