项目摘要

Aging is the single most important risk factor for comorbidity and frailty. Frailty increases the risk of poor outcomes that include falls, incident disability, hospitalization and mortality. Healthspan is the number of years lived in a healthy, vital, and functionally capable state. Frailty and healthspan exist, then, in opposition among the elderly and are at the core of optimal geriatric care. This NIA K07 Academic Leadership Career Award will support Dr. Troen’s ongoing career development and help to protect his time and effort to build the research support and mentorship infrastructure for the Center for Successful Aging (CSA), which focuses on geroscience-related research and education at the University at Buffalo (UB). The goals of this proposal are 1) to advance innovative interdisciplinary and interprofessional collaborative research to detect, understand, and minimize frailty and maximize healthspan in older adults and 2) to establish a robust mentorship, educational, and research environment that fosters development of successful interdisciplinary geroscience and geriatrics investigators. These goals will be accomplished through the candidate’s committed efforts and leadership of the CSA, the breaking down of silos, and meaningful collaboration with the multitude of existing resources for interdisciplinary research and interprofessional education and collaborative practice at UB. Aging-related and geriatric research capacity will be enhanced through active recruitment of investigators, partnerships with centers and departments across the entire university, a pilot grant program, and an annual research retreat. This will enhance interdisciplinary research, establish an optimal environment for mentorship, and support development and competing for extramural grants. Faculty development and mentorship will be supported through mentorship committees, a new geroscience curriculum, regular seminars, and an emphasis on interdisciplinary research and training opportunities. The candidate has the necessary scientific expertise, leadership skills, clinical and research training, and mentoring and teaching experience to lead the CSA, implement a program of curriculum development, and accomplish the stated aims of this proposal. He will build on existing infrastructure at UB to develop and train a diverse pool of highly- trained scientists who will conduct important research to Minimize Frailty and Maximize Healthspan. This application holds great promise in developing an interdisciplinary research and mentoring program that transcends traditional boundaries and that will enhance knowledge and ultimately improve the care of the aging population.

衰老是合并症的最重要的单一风险因素，虚弱会增加贫困风险。结果包括跌倒、事故致残、住院和死亡率。那么，虚弱和健康寿命是对立的。是老年人最佳护理的核心。NIA K07 学术领导职业生涯。该奖项将支持 Troen 博士持续的职业发展，并帮助保护他的时间和精力成功老龄化中心 (CSA) 的研究支持和指导基础设施，重点关注该提案的目标是布法罗大学 (UB) 的老年科学相关研究和教育。 1）推进创新的跨学科和跨专业合作研究，以发现、理解、最大限度地减少老年人的虚弱并最大限度地延长其健康寿命，2) 建立强有力的指导，促进跨学科老年科学成功发展的教育和研究环境这些目标将通过候选人的努力和努力来实现。 CSA 的领导、打破孤岛以及与众多现有机构进行有意义的合作布法罗大学跨学科研究、跨专业教育和协作实践的资源。将通过积极招募研究人员来增强与老龄化相关和老年病学的研究能力，与整个大学的中心和部门建立伙伴关系，试点资助计划以及年度这将加强跨学科研究，为研究创造一个最佳环境。指导、支持发展和竞争校外资助。将通过指导委员会、新的老年科学课程、定期的指导来支持指导研讨会，并强调跨学科研究和培训机会。必要的科学专业知识、领导技能、临床和研究培训以及指导和教学领导 CSA、实施课程开发计划并实现既定目标的经验他将利用布法罗大学现有的基础设施来开发和培训多样化的高素质人才。训练有素的科学家将进行重要的研究，以最大限度地减少虚弱和最大限度地延长健康寿命。应用程序在开发跨学科研究和指导计划方面具有巨大的希望超越传统界限，这将增强知识并最终改善对患者的护理人口老龄化。
