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.

衰老是合并症和脆弱的最重要的危险因素。脆弱增加了差的风险包括跌倒，事件残疾，住院和死亡率的结果。 HealthSpan是多年生活在健康，至关重要且功能能力的状态下。然后，存在脆弱和健康状态在古老的中，是最佳老年护理的核心。 NIA K07学术领导职业奖项将支持Troen博士正在进行的职业发展，并有助于保护他的时间和努力成功衰老中心（CSA）的研究支持和指导基础设施，重点布法罗大学（UB）大学与GEROSCIENCE相关的研究和教育。该提议的目标是 1）促进创新的跨学科和跨专业协作研究，以检测，理解，理解，并最大程度地减少脆弱和最大化老年人的健康状态，2）建立强大的心态，教育和研究环境，促进了成功的跨学科研究的发展和老年研究人员。这些目标将通过候选人的努力来实现， CSA的领导，孤岛的分解以及与许多现有的有意义的合作 UB的跨学科研究和跨学科教育和协作实践的资源。通过积极招募研究人员，将增强与衰老有关的老年研究能力，与整个大学的中心和部门的合作伙伴关系，试点赠款计划和年度研究务虚会。这将增强跨学科研究，为属于卫生，并支持开发和竞争壁外赠款。教师的发展和 Mentalship将通过Mentalship委员会，新的Geroscience课程，常规半手，并强调跨学科的研究和培训机会。候选人有必要的科学专业知识，领导技能，临床和研究培训以及心理和教学领导CSA，实施课程开发计划并完成陈述的目标的经验该提议。他将建立在UB现有的基础设施的基础上，以开发和培训高度高度的潜水员池受过训练的科学家将进行重要的研究，以最大程度地减少脆弱性并最大化健康范围。这应用程序在制定跨学科研究和心理计划方面有很大的希望超越传统界限，这将增强知识并最终改善对人口老龄化。
