An international research and development (R&D) collaboration for aging-related projects is necessary to alleviate the severe economic/healthcare/humanitarian challenges of a global aging society. This study presents a practical/systematic framework that enables the provision of information on the research goals, the status of science and technology, and action plans of aging-related program development processes. We used data on aging-related national-funded projects from the United States of America, the European Union, the United Kingdom, Japan, and Korea. We collected data on 6318 national-funded projects, subsequently designating research fields to each project. By analyzing the content of the projects, their representative research fields, and the associated keywords, we assessed the general goals of six different research fields. To recognize the current scientific capabilities of these research fields, we divided the projects by clusters. We provided information on research organizations, specific goals (i.e., project title), project periods, and the funding related to the projects. These may be used by stakeholders in various governments/institutions/industries during future discussions regarding the establishment of an international R&D collaboration strategy. The approach we proposed may facilitate the linkage between knowledge and action during strategy development by maximizing scientific legitimacy, developing consensual knowledge, and minimizing diverging opinions among stakeholders.
为了缓解全球老龄化社会带来的严重经济/医疗/人道主义挑战，有必要开展与衰老相关的国际研发（R&D）合作。本研究提出了一个实用/系统的框架，能够提供与衰老相关项目研发过程的研究目标、科学技术现状和行动计划相关的信息。我们使用了来自美国、欧盟、英国、日本和韩国的与衰老相关的国家资助项目数据。我们收集了 6318 个国家资助项目的数据，随后为每个项目指定了研究领域。通过分析项目的内容、其代表性研究领域和相关关键词，我们评估了六个不同研究领域的总体目标。为了识别这些研究领域的当前科学能力，我们按聚类对项目进行了划分。我们提供了有关研究组织、具体目标（即项目标题）、项目期限以及与项目相关的资金信息。这些信息可能会被不同政府/机构/行业的利益相关者在未来讨论建立国际 R&D 合作战略时使用。我们提出的方法可以通过最大限度地提高科学合法性、发展共识知识以及最小化利益相关者之间的分歧意见，促进知识和行动之间的联系，从而在战略制定过程中发挥作用。
