Project Summary: Overall OAIC The UCSF OAIC theme is “Predictors, Outcomes, and Amelioration of Late-life Disability: A Focus on Vulnerable Populations.” The UCSF OAIC has supported an interdisciplinary community of investigators whose discoveries have enhanced our understanding of disability, especially in those with medical and social vulnerabilities. Our OAIC conceptualizes vulnerability as a complex interplay of both medical vulnerability and social vulnerability, and we have demonstrated that medical and social vulnerabilities are inextricably linked. The OAIC has been a galvanizing force at UCSF, forging alliances with other UCSF centers. We have applied core geriatric concepts to vulnerable older adults in a wide range of disciplines such as oncology and surgery. Our work on the interaction of social and medical vulnerability has led to a better understanding of how to address the needs of older adults who have low literacy, are homeless, or are incarcerated. Our dedication to mentoring has led to many GEMSSTAR and Beeson Awards. During the next cycle we will build on our track record, supporting career scholars and pilot awardees who are engaged in innovative projects that focus on older persons’ complex medical and/or social vulnerabilities. We will continue to identify factors that increase the risk of developing disability and that adversely affect quality of life of disabled older adults, and we will develop strategies to improve these outcomes. Our two resource cores will catalyze a wide spectrum of clinical and outcomes research. Our Data and Analysis Core will facilitate the use of high quality data sources that are particularly useful for disability research in vulnerable older persons and will provide statistical consultation. Our Vulnerable Aging Recruitment and Retention Core will support new research among older populations that are traditionally difficult to enroll and retain in studies, building on the capacity we have developed to engage homebound, cognitively impaired, homeless, and low- literacy older adults as well as elders in nursing homes, safety net hospitals, and correctional facilities. The overriding goal of UCSF’s OAIC is to foster a mission-driven culture of excellence grounded in a commitment to improving quality of life for vulnerable older adults with or at risk for disability. We have 5 aims: 1. Catalyze research on disability in vulnerable older persons at UCSF by serving as a hub that brings together scholars and leverages resources. 2. Provide core access to data resources, statistical support, and expertise enrolling and retaining vulnerable older subjects in order to stimulate new research on disability. 3. Support pilot studies that accelerate science and lead to research funding in late life disability. 4. Identify future leaders of aging research and support them with career development funding and mentoring. 5. Develop a leadership and administrative structure that spurs interdisciplinary collaboration, making the OAIC greater than the sum of its parts.

项目摘要：总体OAIC UCSF OAIC主题是“晚期残疾的预测因素，结果和改善：专注于 UCSF OAIC支持调查人员的跨学科社区 他们的发现增强了我们对残疾的理解，尤其是在患有医疗和社会的人中 漏洞。我们的OAIC将脆弱性概念化为医学脆弱性和 社会脆弱性，我们已经证明了医疗和社会脆弱性是密不可分的。 OAIC一直是UCSF的镀锌力，与其他UCSF中心结盟。我们有 在肿瘤学和 外科手术。我们在社会和医疗脆弱性相互作用方面的工作使人们对 如何满足识字率低，无家可归或被监禁的老年人的需求。我们的 奉献精神导致了许多Gemsstar和Beeson奖。 在下一个周期中，我们将以我们的往绩为基础，支持职业学者和飞行员获奖者 从事专注于老年人复杂的医疗和/或社会脆弱性的创新项目。 我们将继续确定会增加疾病风险的因素，并对 残疾老年人的生活质量，我们将制定改善这些结果的策略。我们的两个 资源核心将催化广泛的临床和结果研究。我们的数据和分析核心 将有助于使用高质量的数据源，这些数据源对于易受伤害的残疾研究特别有用 老年人，将提供统计咨询。我们脆弱的老龄化招聘和保留核心 将支持传统上很难入学和保留研究的较老人群的新研究， 以我们为参与家居，认知障碍，无家可归和低 - 扫盲老年人以及护士房屋，安全网医院和矫正设施的老年人。 UCSF的OAIC的重大目标是培养以任务为导向的卓越文化，扎根于 致力于改善有残疾风险或有风险的弱势老年人的生活质量。我们有5个目标： 1。通过作为带来的枢纽来催化UCSF脆弱的老年人的残疾研究 共同利用学者和利用资源。 2。提供核心访问数据资源，统计支持以及注册和保留脆弱性的专业知识 较老的受试者以刺激有关残疾的新研究。 3。支持加速科学并导致后期生活障碍的研究资金的试点研究。 4.确定老龄化研究的未来领导者，并通过职业发展资金和指导为他们提供支持。 5。发展领导和行政结构，刺激跨学科合作，使 OAIC大于其部分的总和。
