项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application is being submitted in response to the RFA from the National Institute on Aging (NIA) entitled: "Summer Research Training in Aging for Medical Students". We propose to establish a Hawaii Medical Student Aging Research Training Center, designed to achieve the goal of providing short-term research, clinical and didactic experiences, and to expose medical students to career opportunities in aging research and academic geriatrics. The research focus of this center will be epidemiology of neurodegenerative and cardiovascular diseases in elderly populations, due to the existing experienced faculty with funded research projects in these areas. These diseases of aging represent the most common causes of morbidity and mortality in the elderly population, and have been designated by the NIA as important areas of research. Specific Aim 1: To recruit five first-year medical students each year for summer research scholarships, which will provide early exposure to the excitement of ongoing research in aging, specifically targeting medical students from diverse ethnic and cultural backgrounds. The University of Hawaii is a federally designated minority institution, and the majority of medical students are of minority ethnic backgrounds. Specific Aim 2: To provide high quality training in research design and methodology through one-on-one and group education methods, including training in principles of ethical conduct of research. Specific Aim 3: To provide medical students with hands-on research experience by participating in existing projects and completing a secondary data analysis project for presentation. Specific Aim 4: To encourage medical students to pursue academic careers in aging research, with a focus on epidemiology of chronic diseases of aging, to meet the needs of an increasing older population. Specific Aim 5: To create a tracking system to follow-up on ultimate career choices made by medical students participating in this program.

描述（由申请人提供）：该申请正在响应美国国家老龄研究所（NIA）的RFA，题为“医学生老化的夏季研究培训”。我们建议建立一个夏威夷医学学生老龄化研究培训中心，旨在实现提供短期研究，临床和教学经验的目标，并使医学生将医学生在老龄化研究和学术老年医生方面享有职业机会。该中心的研究重点将是由于现有经验丰富的教职员工在这些领域拥有资助的研究项目，因此老年人群的神经退行性和心血管疾病的流行病学。这些衰老疾病代表了老年人口中发病和死亡率的最常见原因，并已被NIA指定为重要的研究领域。具体目标1：每年招募五名一年级的医学生获得夏季研究奖学金，这将为衰老中正在进行的研究的兴奋提供早期暴露，特别是针对来自不同种族和文化背景的医学生。夏威夷大学是一家联邦指定的少数民族机构，大多数医学生都是少数民族背景。具体目标2：通过一对一和小组教育方法在研究设计和方法方面提供高质量的培训，包括研究道德行为的培训。特定目标3：通过参与现有项目并完成二级数据分析项目进行演示，为医学生提供动手研究经验。具体目标4：鼓励医学生从事衰老研究的学术职业，重点是慢性衰老疾病的流行病学，以满足越来越多的老年人群的需求。特定目标5：创建一个跟踪系统，以跟进参加该计划的医学生最终职业选择。
