Description:

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. NACDA seeks to contribute to the intellectual vitality of the gerontological sciences. This is accomplished through the guidance of the NACDA Resident Scientist and the NACDA Council. NACDA's advisors are prominent scholars who are able to respond to the needs of the scientific community, while also directing the course of substantive and methodological research.
