DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Late-life disability, defined as needing help with daily activities, is common, burdensome, and costly to patients, families, and society. Late-life disability is influenced by medical vulnerabilities (including comorbid illnesses, aspects of medical care, medicines, procedures, neuropsychiatric conditions, and behaviors), social vulnerabilities (social supports, financial resources, communication and literacy, and ethnicity), and their interaction. The UCSF OAIC will focus its efforts on addressing predictors, characteristics, and outcomes of late-life disability in these vulnerable populations at increased risk for disability or death. The overriding goal of the UCSF OAIC will be to improve the health care and quality of life of vulnerable older adults with or at risk for disability through the follwing aims: 1) Catalyze research on disability in vulnerable older persons at UCSF by serving as a hub that brings together scholars and leverages resources; 2) Provide tangible, high-value support to funded projects at UCSF that stimulate new research on disability, and lead to new research opportunities for senior and junior investigators; 3) Support pilot studies that accelerat science and lead to research funding in late life disability; 4) Identify the future leaders of geriatrics research and support them with career development funding and exceptional mentoring; and 5) Develop a leadership and administrative structure that spurs interdisciplinary collaboration, making the OAIC greater than the sum of its parts. To achieve its aims, the UCSF OAIC will support 5 Cores under the leadership of PI Ken Covinsky. The LAC will provide leadership support for the entire UCSF OAIC. The RCDC will utilize the RCDC Scholars and Advanced Scholars Programs to identify, support, and nurture junior investigators who will become national leaders in aging research. The RDAC will enhance analyses of extramurally funded grants (External Projects), OAIC pilot projects, and RCDC projects, and will conduct a Development Project (DP). The DMAC will help investigators design studies with data sources ideal for disability research, support investigators adding disability measures to ongoing studies, and conduct a DP. The PESC will promote innovative and promising research that enhances our understanding in ways that can mitigate late-life disability, and that leads to ROI funding. By evaluating how medical and social vulnerabilities contribute to the disablement process, the UCSF OAIC will make a meaningful contribution to our understanding of how to best care for older adults who are at risk for or developing disability, advance research and guide clinical practice.

描述（由申请人提供）：对患者，家庭和社会的常见，繁重的，繁重的，繁重的和昂贵的日期残疾，定义为需要帮助的帮助。晚年残疾受医疗脆弱性的影响（包括合并症，医疗服务的各个方面，药物，程序，神经精神疾病和行为），社会脆弱性（社会支持，财务资源，沟通和识字以及互动） 。 UCSF OAIC将重点关注这些脆弱人群中的预测因素，特征和后期残疾的结果，以增加残疾或死亡的风险增加。 UCSF OAIC的压倒目标是通过Follwing的目标改善具有或处于残疾风险的脆弱老年人的医疗保健和生活质量：1）催化UCSF中脆弱的老年人的残疾研究。这汇集了学者并利用资源； 2）向UCSF的资助项目提供有形的高价值支持，这些项目刺激了新的残疾研究，并为高级和初级研究人员带来了新的研究机会； 3）支持加速科学并导致后期残疾的研究资金的试点研究； 4）确定老年医学研究的未来领导者，并通过职业发展资金和卓越的指导来为他们提供支持； 5）发展领导和行政结构，刺激跨学科的合作，使OAIC大于其部分的总和。为了实现其目标，UCSF OAIC将在Pi Ken Covinsky的领导下支持5个核心。 LAC将为整个UCSF OAIC提供领导支持。 RCDC将利用RCDC学者和高级学者计划来识别，支持和培育将成为老龄化研究领域的国家领导者的初级调查员。 RDAC将增强对外部资助的赠款（外部项目），OAIC试点项目和RCDC项目的分析，并将进行开发项目（DP）。 DMAC将帮助研究人员设计具有残疾研究理想的数据来源的研究研究，支持研究人员在正在进行的研究中增加残疾措施， 并进行DP。 PESC将促进创新和有前途的研究，以减轻晚期残疾的方式增强我们的理解，并导致ROI资金。通过评估医疗和社会脆弱性如何为残疾过程做出贡献，UCSF OAIC将为我们理解如何最好地护理有意义的贡献，以应对有危险或发展残疾，提高研究和指导临床实践的老年人。
