DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application seeks support to establish a National Research Service Award program in aging research at the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC), a major teaching hospital of Harvard Medical School. We will provide state-of-the-art educational opportunities to postdoctoral fellows and pre-doctoral candidates, with the overall aim of promoting the translation of basic research findings into interventions to improve the quality of life and well-being of elderly people. Specific aims of the training program are: 1) To provide a 2-year training program in basic and clinical aging research for up to eight highly qualified postdoctoral trainees each year, who are committed to developing successful independent research careers; 2) To provide an 8-12 week short-term research training experience for six pre-doctoral candidates each year in basic and clinical aging research; and 3) To promote the translation of basic research findings into interventions that improve the quality of life and well-being of elderly people, by bringing together scientists across a broad range of basic and clinical research through seminars, formal didactic sessions, shared laboratory experiences, and collaborative projects. Trainees will be involved in research that spans a wide range from basic to clinical aspects of aging and will be mentored by leading scientists in their respective fields. Interactions among trainees and among their mentors will be encouraged through a seminar series, formal coursework, and collaborative projects. The proposed training program will facilitate and accelerate the development of postdoctoral fellows into independent scientists interested in testing hypotheses concerning aging processes and in deriving and applying interventions that may ameliorate or prevent age-associated declines and disease. Moreover, the proposed program will attract predoctoral trainees to the field of gerontology by providing short-term research training experiences in the laboratories of experienced mentors who are investigating basic and clinical aspects of aging.

描述（由申请人提供）：本申请寻求支持，以在哈佛医学院的主要教学医院贝斯以色列女执事医疗中心 (BIDMC) 建立衰老研究国家研究服务奖计划。我们将为博士后和博士生提供最先进的教育机会，总体目标是促进基础研究成果转化为干预措施，以改善老年人的生活质量和福祉。培训计划的具体目标是： 1）每年为最多8名致力于发展成功的独立研究职业的高素质博士后学员提供为期2年的基础和临床衰老研究培训计划； 2）每年为6名博士生提供基础和临床衰老研究8-12周的短期研究培训经历； 3) 通过研讨会、正式教学会议、共享实验室经验，将广泛基础和临床研究的科学家聚集在一起，促进将基础研究成果转化为改善老年人生活质量和福祉的干预措施和合作项目。学员将参与从衰老的基础到临床方面的广泛研究，并将受到各自领域的顶尖科学家的指导。 各自的领域。通过一系列研讨会、正式课程和合作项目，将鼓励学员及其导师之间的互动。拟议的培训计划将促进和加速博士后研究员发展成为独立科学家，他们对测试有关衰老过程的假设以及导出和应用可能改善或预防与年龄相关的衰退和疾病的干预措施感兴趣。此外，拟议的计划将通过在研究衰老的基础和临床方面的经验丰富的导师的实验室中提供短期研究培训经验，吸引博士前学员进入老年学领域。
