The Specific Aims of the Research Development Core of the San Antonio Nathan Shock Aging Center are the following: 1) To expand the scope of research into the basic biology of aging at the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio (UTHSCSA) and in San Antonio, and 2) To develop young investigators for the future needs of biological gerontology and, in particular, for maintaining the preeminence of this institution in the field of aging. The major vehicle that we will use to achieve these goals is to provide funds and other resources that will allow investigators to carry out pilot studies so that they can compete successfully for funding from NIA and other national agencies that fund research on aging. Awarding funds for pilot studies to young faculty members who have an interest in aging will help in directing talented young scientists into a career in biological gerontology. In addition, providing funds for pilot studies is also an effective tool in recruiting established investigators who are not engaged directly in aging research into the field. In addition to funds for research, three other mechanisms will be used to support faculty interested in conducting pilot studies in aging: 1) A course entitled, "Biology of Aging" will continue to be offered each fall to introduce graduate students, post-doctoral fellows, and young investigators to the various areas of aging research and to problems that are unique to the study of aging. 2) The "Biology of Aging Seminar Series" and an annual "Age Day" will highlight the research accomplishments of faculty in aging and inform students, post-doctoral fellows and faculty on current issues in aging research. Pilot grant awardees will present their research results in these forums. 3) A mentoring program will be offered to assist faculty in obtaining research funding in aging from national sources.

圣安东尼奥内森休克老化中心研究开发核心的具体目标如下： 1) 扩大德克萨斯大学圣安东尼奥健康科学中心 (UTHSCSA) 和圣安东尼奥市的衰老基础生物学研究范围，以及 2）培养年轻的研究人员，以满足生物老年学的未来需求，特别是保持该机构在老龄化领域的领先地位。 我们实现这些目标的主要手段是提供资金和其他资源，使研究人员能够开展试点研究，以便他们能够成功地竞争国家IA和其他资助老龄化研究的国家机构的资金。向对衰老感兴趣的年轻教员提供试点研究资金，将有助于引导有才华的年轻科学家从事生物老年学的职业。此外，为试点研究提供资金也是招募不直接从事衰老研究的成熟研究人员进入该领域的有效工具。除了研究资金外，还将使用其他三种机制来支持有兴趣进行老龄化试点研究的教师： 1) 每年秋季将继续开设题为“衰老生物学”的课程，向研究生、博士后研究员和年轻研究人员介绍衰老研究的各个领域以及衰老研究特有的问题。 2) “衰老生物学研讨会系列”和一年一度的“年龄日”将突出该研究 教师在老龄化方面取得的成就，并告知学生、博士后研究员和教师 衰老研究的当前问题。试点资助获得者将在这些论坛上展示他们的研究成果。 3) 将提供指导计划，以协助教师从国家来源获得老龄化研究经费。
