DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This new application for a T32 Institutional National Research Service Award is centered on strong and growing research programs in aging research and includes a selective group of mentors with well-funded scientific endeavors in aging-related research. These investigators provide an outstanding foundation for the recruitment and training of a new generation of aging researchers at Einstein. The current new application builds on the foundation of an earlier T32 grant first awarded at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine (AECOM) in September 1989, and competitively renewed in 1994. We have elected to include a "two-year build-up" period designed to reinstitute this program at Einstein, promote its visibility within and outside our Institution, and implement novel recruitment strategies. In this regard, we plan to initially enroll a total of five trainees and to increase the total number of trainees from five to seven starting on the third year of this application. On the other hand, it should also be noted that since 1999, this Institution has enhanced its commitment to aging research as partly reflected by increasing research funding from the National Institute of Aging (NIA), other relevant NIH Institutes, the American Federation for Aging Research (AFAR), and the Ellison Foundation. In this regard, the number of Einstein investigators funded by the NIA rose from 6 to 14 during this period of time, while the annual direct cost of these awards more than doubled to approximately 5 million dollars. The recent rapid growth in aging research provides renewed opportunities for training in aging research at Einstein. The research disciplines represented in this application include metabolic syndromes of aging; aging brain functions and neurodegenerative diseases; cardiovascular and aging cellular functions; immunology and aging; growth factors, cell signaling, and cancer; and aging, menopause and women's health. Our research interactions and the joint training of pre-doctoral and post-doctoral trainees in principles of biogerontology lend themselves to a highly integrated and cohesive program. Through formal course work, participation in research seminars, and individual research projects, trainees can develop the skills necessary for independent careers in aging research.

描述（由申请人提供）：这项T32机构国家研究服务奖的新申请以衰老研究中的强大而不断增长的研究计划为中心，其中包括一群在与衰老有关的研究中拥有丰富科学努力的选择性导师。这些研究人员为爱因斯坦的新一代老龄化研究人员招募和培训提供了杰出的基础。当前的新应用是建立在1989年9月在阿尔伯特·爱因斯坦医学院（AECOM）首次授予的T32赠款基础上的，并于1994年进行了竞争性续签。我们选择在Einstein重新建立该计划的“为期两年的积累”时期，促进其内部和外部我们的机构的知名度，并实施新颖的招聘战略。在这方面，我们计划最初在本申请的第三年开始，总共注册五名学员，并将学员总数从五名增加到7名。另一方面，还应指出的是，自1999年以来，该机构已加强了对衰老研究的承诺，部分原因是增加了国家老化研究所（NIA），其他相关的NIH研究所，美国衰老研究（AFAR）（AFAR）和埃里森基金会的研究资金。在这方面，在此期间，由NIA资助的爱因斯坦调查人员数量从6增至14，而这些奖项的年度直接成本增加了一倍以上，达到约500万美元。衰老研究的最近快速增长为爱因斯坦的衰老研究提供了新的机会。 本应用程序中代表的研究学科包括衰老的代谢综合征；衰老的大脑功能和神经退行性疾病；心血管和老化的细胞功能；免疫学和衰老；生长因子，细胞信号传导和癌症；以及衰老，更年期和妇女的健康。我们的研究互动以及生物生物学原理的博士前和博士后学员的联合培训使自己具有高度融合和凝聚力的计划。通过正式的课程工作，参与研究研讨会和个别研究项目，学员可以发展衰老研究中独立职业所必需的技能。
