The survey was developed, funded, implemented and evaluated
with the collaboration of many partners. The process was collegial and
the spirit of collaboration between countries, institutions and disciplines
permeated the entire process. We identify first the regional coordinating
team and collaborators and in each country we identify the principal investigator,
the members of the research team and the funding partners.
Acknowledgement
The Center for Demography
and Ecology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison supported the necessary
activities towards the implementation of The SABE Research and partially
sponsored Dr. Alberto Palloni's participation.
An Inter-Agency Agreement between the Pan
American Health Organization and The
National Institute on Aging partially supported the technical advisory
activities with preparation of a database and preliminary analyses. In
addition, a grant from The National Institute on Aging allowed for Dr.
Palloni's participation in technical consultation activities at the University
of Wisconsin-Madison.
The SABE website was developed with assistance and funding from
the Center for Demography of Health
and Aging at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
