National
Database of Ageing Research (NDAR)
THE NATIONAL DATABASE OF AGEING RESEARCH (NDAR) is
a freely available online resource established by the Centre
for Policy on Ageing.
NDAR aims to be a fully comprehensive
resource of recent and ongoing research within the UK on all
non-medical aspects of ageing and older age. The intention
is to make research activities easily accessible to researchers
and users of research, and to develop a network of shared
learning.
The database contents are drawn
from research projects, both internally and externally funded,
being carried out within
- the academic sector
- voluntary and independent
sector
- local and central government
- and independent 'think tanks'
The subject areas are wide
ranging covering health and social care; pensions, work and
retirement; social exclusion; poverty; European initiatives;
demographics; housing; transport; residential care; independent
living; quality of life issues, and more.
The research details are collected
by:
- CPA information staff tracking
and monitoring current research
- researchers entering and
editing details of their own research projects
The database is fully structured
and searchable and covers all aspects of the research including:
- the researching organisation
- title of the research
- aims
- a summary of findings
- subject keywords
- research methods used
- researchers and other staff
involved
- funding type and funding
body
- budget
- start/end dates and duration
- research outputs including
publications and whether the results and data from the research
are publicly available
Researchers
are invited to access this first stage of the developing NDAR
at www.cpa.org.uk/research
and add details of current research projects. These can be
updated as the project progresses. CPA moderates all entries
before they appear live on the database. It is hoped that
full details of research projects within the New Dynamics
of Ageing and other research programmes will be tracked via
NDAR.
