The University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey-School of Osteopathic Medicine (UMDNJ-SOM) has developed a geriatrics program that is recognized across the state for its clinical excellence and across the country for its educational leadershop as both a HRSA funded Geriatric Education Center and geriatric fellowship training program. This proposal reflects the candidate's commitment to develop an aging research program to complement these achievements. His long term goals are: to build a quality research program in aging at UMDNJ-SOM centering on the theme of Successful Aging; the establish UMDNJ-SOM as a nationally recognized program in geriatrics and the premiere osteopathic medical school in aging; and to cultivate the next generation of academic faculty for osteopathic medical schools who may become the future leaders in aging research within the osteopathic profession. The program's focus on Successful Aging reflects the osteopathic philosophy of healthy promotion and disease prevention and institutional strengths in nutrition, exercise and mobility, end-of-life issues, and women's health. As a result, this plan will: (1) offer selected junior faculty the opportunity for mentorship by recognized leaders in aging research so that they may develop into independent researchers, (2) encourage aging research among clinical and basic science postdoctoral fellows and faculty through a competitive funding program to support projects in aging research, (3) expand opportunities for medical students and basic science graduate students to increase their level of participation in aging research through a student scholar's program and (4) stimulate interest in aging research among clinical and basic science faculty and postdoctoral students through a seminar series and symposia on the latest issues and trends in aging research. Eight NIH/NIA funded researchers from three UMDNJ schools, the Philadelphia Geriatric Center, and Allegheny University of the Health Sciences/ Medical College of Pennsylvania with research programs in nutrition, exercise and mobility, end-of-life issues, and women's health will support this effort as mentors, lectures, and Advisory Board members.

新泽西大学骨质疗法医学（UMDNJ-SOM）的医学和牙科大学已经制定了一项老年医学课程，该计划在全州以其临床卓越表现而在全州认可，全国各地的教育领导者都将其作为HRSA资助的老年人疗法教育中心和老年培训计划。该提案反映了候选人致力于制定老化研究计划以补充这些成就的承诺。 他的长期目标是：在Umdnj-Som上建立一项优质的研究计划，以成功的衰老为主题；建立umdnj-som作为老年医学学院的全国认可计划和老龄化的骨质疗法医学院；并为整骨医学院的下一代学院培养，他们可能会成为整骨疗法的未来领导者。 该计划对成功衰老的关注反映了健康促进和预防疾病的整骨哲学以及营养，运动和流动性，寿命终止问题以及妇女健康方面的机构优势。结果，该计划将：（1）向选定的初级教师提供认可的衰老研究领导者的指导机会，以便他们可以发展成为独立的研究人员，（2）鼓励临床和基础科学的研究生研究人员通过竞争性资金计划在临床和基础科学上的研究中的衰老研究，以扩大衰老的研究和基础科学培训的机会（3），（3）通过研讨会系列和座谈会，刺激临床和基础科学教师和博士后学生之间对老化研究的兴趣，讨论了衰老研究的最新问题和趋势。八名NIH/ NIA资助了来自三所UMDNJ学校，费城老年中心和宾夕法尼亚州健康科学大学/医学院的研究人员，其中包括营养，运动和流动性，临终关怀和妇女健康的研究计划，以及作为导师，讲座和咨询董事会成员的工作。
