项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): "A Transdisciplinary Approach to Engage Specialty Investigators in Aging Research," will address the pressing need to develop research priorities and new investigators to address critical health care issues facing the nation's rapidly growing population of older adults. The Association of Subspecialty Professors (ASP) has previously held five similar conferences (on topics such as HIV and aging and acute kidney failure in elderly patients) and aims to extend this series with NIH funding supplemented and leveraged by private foundation support from the John A. Hartford Foundation. Under Aim 1, ASP will hold three research agenda setting meetings from 2012 through 2014 in the areas of solid organ transplantation in elderly patients, diabetes mellitus (DM) and cardiovascular (CV) complications in seniors, and wound healing and tissue regeneration in older adults. Each conference will also address the disparities in healthcare among ethnic and racial minorities in these areas. Planning committees and participants for each meeting will include senior and junior faculty in a wide variety of disciplines (e.g. internal medicine, surgery neurology, nursing, and interventional radiology), and representatives of relevant professional organizations as well as appropriate NIH Institutes and Centers. This diverse group will ensure that the conferences serve to bridge disciplines, fill bench-to-bedside gaps in knowledge, and inject key concepts in aging research including senescence, quality of life measures, and frailty into fields generally void of such considerations. Using the meetings outlined in Aim 1 as a vehicle, ASP will build on this work in Aim 2, to focus more broadly on raising the profile of geriatrics and gerontology in key disciplines by engaging with vital researchers in each specialty as well as rising junior faculty "stars" in the specialty. In Aim 3, ASP will focus on stimulating research application and fostering career development by engaging NIH IC contacts outside of NIA, publishing the conference proceedings in high impact specialty journals, and training junior scientists in the conduct of aging research through specific development strategies at each meeting.

描述（由申请人提供）：“让专业研究人员参与老龄化研究的跨学科方法”将满足制定研究重点和新研究人员的迫切需要，以解决国家快速增长的老年人口面临的关键医疗保健问题。专科教授协会 (ASP) 此前已举办过五次类似的会议（主题涉及艾滋病毒、衰老和老年患者的急性肾衰竭等），并旨在通过 NIH 的资金补充和约翰·A·约翰·A·私人基金会的支持来扩展该系列会议哈特福德基金会。根据目标 1，ASP 将在 2012 年至 2014 年期间举行三场研究议程设定会议，涉及老年患者实体器官移植、老年人糖尿病 (DM) 和心血管 (CV) 并发症以及老年人伤口愈合和组织再生等领域。每次会议还将讨论这些地区少数民族和少数族裔之间的医疗保健差异。每次会议的规划委员会和参与者将包括各个学科（例如内科、外科神经病学、护理和介入放射学）的高级和初级教职人员，以及相关专业组织以及适当的 NIH 研究所和中心的代表。这个多元化的团体将确保会议能够弥合学科之间的桥梁，填补实验室到临床的知识空白，并将衰老研究的关键概念（包括衰老、生活质量测量和脆弱性）注入通常缺乏此类考虑的领域。 ASP 将利用目标 1 中概述的会议作为载体，以目标 2 中的这项工作为基础，通过与每个专业的重要研究人员以及新兴的初级教师合作，更广泛地关注提高老年病学和老年学在关键学科中的形象。专业中的“明星”。在目标 3 中，ASP 将致力于通过与 NIA 以外的 NIH IC 联系人合作、在高影响力专业期刊上发表会议论文集以及通过每个机构的具体发展策略培训年轻科学家进行衰老研究来刺激研究应用和促进职业发展。会议。
