项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Georgetown University is home to a diverse set of researchers who teach and do research in the field of aging. These investigators are in various departments in the Medical School and throughout the Main Campus. In order to provide a focus for these activities and encourage additional work in this area, this application requests funding for the development of infrastructure in support of research in aging and health. The primary objectives of this project are to 1) Build an intellectual home for research related to aging and promote the interdisciplinary exchange that will enrich the dimensionality and depth of that research; and 2) Enhance current and encourage new research on aging by supporting current researchers, by exploring and developing training opportunities for undergraduate and graduate students, and by providing for transdisciplinary training at student and professional level to develop ancillary skills. In support of these aims, we propose to 1) Develop a seminar series on aging; 2) Improve library resources and services; 3) Create a roster of active individuals and departments; 4) Develop a newsletter and web site; 5) Expand student outreach; and 6) Work with administration to bridge institutional boundaries. We are requesting funding to support the time of two members of a steering committee (the third will be supported by Georgetown University), a statistical consulting service and data core, two experienced consultants who will propose and evaluate activities, and a fund that will be used to encourage, via small grants, new initiatives in aging throughout the Georgetown community. Georgetown brings unusual resources to this enterprise. It has a well-established medical center that includes faculty from the school, the hospital, and Lombardi Cancer Center. The Georgetown Public Policy Institute, well-established departments in the social and biological sciences, the Kennedy Institute of Ethics, and the National Reference Center for Bioethics Literature are housed at Georgetown University.

描述（由申请人提供）：乔治城大学是一所在老龄化领域进行教学和研究的多元化研究人员。这些研究人员分布在医学院的各个部门整个主校区。为了给这些活动提供一个焦点并鼓励该领域的额外工作，此申请需要资金发展基础设施以支持老龄化和健康。该项目的主要目标是 1) 建立一个与老龄化相关的研究的知识之家并促进跨学科交流将丰富学科的维度和深度该研究； 2) 通过以下方式加强现有的老龄化研究并鼓励新的研究通过探索和开发培训来支持当前的研究人员为本科生和研究生提供机会，并提供学生和专业层面的跨学科培训以发展辅助技能。为了支持这些目标，我们建议： 1) 开展一系列关于老龄化的研讨会； 2）改善图书馆资源和服务； 3）创建活跃个人和部门名册； 4) 开发新闻通讯和网站； 5）扩大学生范围； 6) 工作通过行政管理来弥合机构界限。我们要求资助指导委员会两名成员（第三名）的时间将得到乔治敦大学的支持），统计咨询服务和数据核心，两位经验丰富的顾问将提出建议和评估活动，以及一项基金，该基金将用于通过小额赠款鼓励新的整个乔治敦社区的老龄化倡议。乔治敦带来这家企业拥有不寻常的资源。它拥有完善的医疗中心，包括来自学校、医院和隆巴尔迪的教职员工癌症中心。乔治城公共政策研究所，实力雄厚肯尼迪研究所社会科学和生物科学系伦理学和国家生物伦理学文献参考中心均设在在乔治城大学。
