DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Over the past few years, NIA has recognized the need for more research on aging in the I/DD population. Few competitive grants addressing these issues have been funded. A new look at research needs is in order. The urgent need for information about the health status of this population was one of the main findings of a report prepared by a task force led by one of this project's Co-Principal Investigators (Janicki) issued by the World Health Organization (WHO, 2000), funded in part by an R-13 grant from NIA. That report focused on identifying health issues in the target population that would be of concern to policy makers. This proposal is to extend the WHO report process but narrow its focus to developing a research agenda. Our intent is to include biomedical, translational, clinical, and policy research issues. There are three Specific Aims: Specific Aim 1. Using a scientific meeting format, summarize the scientific data on health status of and medical care applications for older adults with I/DD. The meeting will bring together some 40 scientists and related workers from the world community who will present summaries of basic and translational research in several key areas pertaining to health and aging in persons with I/DD. The result will be a report leading to either an edited book or a special issue of a scientific journal. Specific Aim 2. Develop recommendations for future research. As a follow-up to the scientific meeting, the project steering committee will prepare a summary of research issues and recommendations for future research. Specific Aim 3. In collaboration with the American Association on Mental Retardation and the American Medical Association, define salient areas for medical concern and surveillance based on the extant literature and practice findings of physical conditions and diseases that appear to have particular incidence in middle age and aging adults with I/DD. This area will lead to a report of recommendations for the establishment of practice guidelines for medical care jointly issued by the AAMR and the AMA.

描述（由申请人提供）：在过去的几年中，NIA认识到需要对I/DD人群的衰老进行更多研究。很少有解决这些问题的竞争赠款得到了资金。对研究需求进行了新的了解。迫切需要有关该人口健康状况的信息的需求是由该项目的一名联合首主调查员（Janicki）由世界卫生组织（WHO，2000年）发出的一项工作组准备的报告的主要发现之一，部分由NIA的R-13赠款资助。该报告的重点是确定目标人群中的健康问题，这是政策制定者所关注的。该建议是扩展WHO报告过程，但将其重点放在制定研究议程上。我们的目的是包括生物医学，转化，临床和政策研究问题。有三个特定的目的：特定目标1。使用科学会议格式，总结了I/DD老年人的健康状况和医疗保健应用的科学数据。这次会议将汇集来自世界社区的大约40名科学家和相关工人，他们将在与I/DD的人有关的几个关键领域中介绍基础和转化研究的摘要。结果将是一份报告，导致一本编辑的书或科学期刊的特刊。具体目标2。为将来的研究提出建议。作为科学会议的后续，项目指导委员会将为未来研究的研究问题和建议摘要。特定目的3。与美国心理迟缓协会和美国医学协会合作，根据现存的文献和实践发现，定义了医疗关注和监视的显着领域，这些发现和实践发现的身体状况和疾病的发现，这些发现在中年和成年成年人的I/DD中似乎特别发病。 该领域将为AAMR和AMA共同发布的医疗保健实践指南提供建议。
