 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The objectives of the Summer Research Training in Aging for Medical Students (MSTAR) program are to: 1) provide a culturally diverse cadre of medical students with a stimulating 8 week summer experience in geriatric and gerontological research using didactic, clinical and research training; 2) measure the productivity of the participating medical students using the number of abstracts, presentations and publications as metrics; and 3) ascertain the impact of the program on the students' career using follow up surveys of the participants. The principal rationale for the training program is to increase the workforce of physicians entering careers in aging related research from culturally diverse backgrounds. Over the next three decades, the U.S. population of adults age 65 and older is expected to double from 35 million to 70 million. Those over age 85, will constitute the fastest growing segment of the population. In addition, the percentage comprised of minority populations will increase from 20 to 42%. Attracting medical students who represent this ethnic and cultural change and who will pursue careers in aging research is supported by societal mandate as articulated in the 2008 Institute of Medicine report Retooling for an Aging America. The MSTAR program at Johns Hopkins is designed to provide 18 students, after completion of the first year of medical school, with an 8 week research experience at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, Division of Geriatric Medicine and Gerontology and the Center on Aging and Health, and the National Institute on Aging. Training targets knowledge, skills and behaviors needed to pursue stage appropriate research by allowing students to perform mentored research that is supplemented by didactic methods (e.g., lectures, seminars, etc.) in epidemiology, biostatistics, hypothesis generation and testing, responsible conduct of research, and career development. Mentored research experiences are designed to be completed during the summer and result in a peer-reviewed abstract presented at the Annual Meeting of the American Geriatrics Society and other suitable peer-reviewed scholarly papers. Clinical experiences are designed to demonstrate the relevance of the research to the needs of an aging population, and to impart excitement about a career in aging research.

 描述（由适用提供）：医学生衰老的夏季研究培训（MSTAR）计划的目标是：1）提供一群文化多样的医学生，以使用教学，临床和研究培训进行老年医学和老年学研究的8周夏季经验； 2）使用摘要，演示和出版物作为指标来衡量参与医学生的生产率； 3）使用参与者的后续调查确定该计划对学生职业生涯的影响。培训计划的主要基本原理是增加从文化不同背景的相关研究的医生的劳动力。在接下来的三十年中，美国65岁及以上的成年人人口预计将从3500万增加到7000万。 85岁以上的人将构成人口中增长最快的人群。此外，少数族裔人口完成的百分比将从20％增加到42％。在2008年2008年医学研究所报告为美国老化的美国改编的社会授权的支持下，吸引代表这种种族和文化变革并将追求老龄化研究的医学生得到了社会授权的支持。约翰·霍普金斯（Johns Hopkins）的MSTAR计划旨在在医学院第一年完成后提供18名学生，在约翰·霍普金斯医学院（Johns Hopkins Medicine），老年医学和老年医学和衰老与健康中心以及国家老年学院的研究经验为8周。培训目标是通过允许学生在流行病学，生物统计学，假设产生和测试，负责任的研究和职业发展和职业发展中补充教学方法（例如讲座，犹太人的讲座等）来进行心理研究，以进行适当的研究。指导的研究经验旨在在夏季完成，并在美国老年医学学会年度会议和其他合适的同行评审科学论文中提出了同行评审的摘要。临床经验旨在证明研究与老龄化人群的需求的相关性，并激发人们对衰老研究的职业的兴奋。
