DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Aspiring research scientists frequently fail to develop successful careers due to a lack of focus, insufficient mentoring, and inadequate opportunities for collaboration. The early faculty years are an especially vulnerable period, during which time they could benefit from the guidance of senior faculty, individually-tailored formal instruction, participation in established research programs, critique of works-in-progress, and opportunities for professional networking. The goal of this academic leadership career award (K07) is twofold: (1) to promote the successful development of junior faculty researchers in the health sciences disciplines whose work will shed new light on pressing issues related to the provision of health services to older persons with chronic illness and disability in community and long-term care settings, and, in doing so, (2) to enhance the capacity of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC-CH) to make significant research contributions in these areas. The proposed project will be housed in the Program on Aging, Disability and Long-Term Care of the Cecil G. Sheps Center for Health Services Research - the largest aging research program on campus, which conducts a range of interdisciplinary research and has a strong track record of mentoring. The project will be directed by Philip Sloane, MD, MPH, the program's co-director, who will devote one-quarter time to this effort. Sheryl Zimmerman, PhD, the program's other co-director, will donate ten percent time in areas relevant to her K02 on long-term care. Other program faculty and staff who will assist in this effort include a biostatistician, analyst, project manager, and research assistant. The project steering committee will include directors of aging-oriented programs, centers and institutes on campus. The proposed project will consist of an intensive mentoring and research career development program for four junior faculties per year (Faculty Fellows). Participants will be drawn from the disciplines of medicine, nursing, pharmacy, social work, allied health, dentistry, and public health. Each participant's sponsoring unit will guarantee a minimum of 40 % dedicated research time. Participants will engage in a structured program consisting of: a) career mentoring; b) intensive research mentoring; c) availability of subject cohorts for use in pilot and preliminary studies; d) a monthly seminar series on critical methodological and funding issues in aging; e) biweekly discussions of works-in-progress; f) required research presentations and proposals; and g) a $4,000 annual allowance for networking, professional travel, and research development. Candidate selection will assign priority to traditionally underrepresented minorities, women, and physician-scientists. Fellows will transition out of the program upon obtaining significant independent funding through a research career award, R01, or major foundation research grant. Project success on both individual and programmatic levels will be measured by academic accomplishments of current and former Faculty Fellows. Institutional mechanisms are in place to provide ongoing support for this model of mentoring, if successful, and they will be pursued as a partnership between the Candidate, the Sheps Center, and the University's Vice Chancellor for Research and Graduate Studies.

描述（由申请人提供）：有抱负的研究科学家由于缺乏专注，指导不足和协作机会不足而无法发展成功的职业。教师早期是一个特别脆弱的时期，在此期间，他们可以从高级教职员工，个人规定的正式教学，参与已建立的研究计划，对工作中的批评和专业网络的机会的指导中受益。 The goal of this academic leadership career award (K07) is twofold: (1) to promote the successful development of junior faculty researchers in the health sciences disciplines whose work will shed new light on pressing issues related to the provision of health services to older persons with chronic illness and disability in community and long-term care settings, and, in doing so, (2) to enhance the capacity of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC-CH) to make significant research在这些领域的贡献。拟议的项目将安置在Cecil G. Sheps卫生服务研究中心的衰老，残疾和长期护理计划中 - 校园最大的衰老研究计划，该计划进行了一系列跨学科研究，并具有强大的指导记录。该项目将由该计划的联合导演MPH的Philip Sloane执导，他将花费四分之一的时间来进行这项工作。该计划的另一位联合导演Sheryl Zimmerman博士将在与K02相关的长期护理方面捐赠10％的时间。其他将协助这项工作的课程教职员工包括生物统计学家，分析师，项目经理和研究助理。项目指导委员会将包括面向老龄化计划，中心和校园的董事。拟议的项目将包括针对每年四个初级教师（教职员工）的密集指导和研究职业发展计划。参与者将从医学，护理，药房，社会工作，盟友健康，牙科和公共卫生的学科中汲取灵感。每个参与者的赞助单元将保证至少40％的专用研究时间。参与者将参与一个结构化计划，其中包括：a）职业指导； b）密集研究指导； c）在试点和初步研究中使用的主题队列； D）关于衰老中关键方法论和资金问题的每月一次研讨会； e）每两周讨论过程中的工作； f）需要研究演讲和建议； g）每年4,000美元的网络，专业旅行和研究开发津贴。候选人选择将优先为传统代表性不足的少数民族，妇女和医师科学家分配优先级。研究员将通过研究职业奖R01或主要基金会研究赠款获得大量独立资金，从该计划中过渡。个人和程序级别的项目成功将通过当前和前任教师研究员的学术成就来衡量。制度机制已建立，可以为这种指导模式提供持续的支持，并将其作为候选人，SHEPS中心和大学研究和研究生研究副校长之间的合作关系。
