Energy levels, oscillator strengths, and electron impact collision strengths have been calculated for Ge-, Ga-, Zn-, Cu-, Ni-, and Co-like Au ions. For Ni-like Au, these atomic data are obtained among the levels belonging to the configurations of ([Ne])3s{sup 2}3p{sup 6}3d{sup 10}, 3s{sup 2}3p{sup 6}3d{sup 9}nl, 3s{sup 2}3p{sup 5}3d{sup 10}nl, and 3s 3p{sup 6}3d{sup 10}nl (n=4, 5; l=0,1,...,n-1). For other Au ions, more levels have been obtained with special attention to atomic data up to transitions of 5f->3d for emission or 3d->5f for absorption. Configuration interactions are taken into account for all levels included. Collision strengths have been obtained at 20 scattered electron energies (5-40,000eV) and they are listed at six representative energies of 100, 500, 1000, 5000, 10,000, and 20,000eV in this work. Effective collision strengths have been obtained by assuming a Maxwellian electron velocity distribution at 10 representative temperatures ranging from 500 to 5000eV. The present dataset should be adequate for most applications. The energy levels are expected to be accurate to within 0.5%, while oscillator strengths and collision strengths for strong transitions are probably accurate to better than 20%. The complete dataset is available electronically from http://www.astronomy.csdb.cn/EIE/.
