项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The aims of this proposal are to 1) develop the candidate's capacity for and expertise in serving as a mentor to junior investigators studying aging in vulnerable adults; 2) perform patient oriented research on the prevalence, risk factors for and consequences of geriatric conditions in older homeless adults; 3) perform patient oriented research on the management and consequences of limiting symptoms in older homeless adults and 4) use the candidate's research as a platform for mentoring junior investigators in aging in vulnerable populations. The candidate, a General Internist who practices at an academic safety-net hospital, has established a high-impact, well-funded independent clinical research program with an outstanding publication record. In the 13 years since completing her General Internal Medicine fellowship, she has established herself as a successful mentor of trainees who have published high-impact research, become successfully funded, and continue to participate in patient-oriented research. The candidate has developed an extensive research portfolio focused on the health outcomes of vulnerable populations. As one of the first researchers to identify the aging of the homeless population, the candidate received R01 funding from the NIA to examine the interaction between life course events and the development of geriatric conditions in homeless adults aged 50 and older. Her work to date has influenced the development and expansion of key interventions to address the health of homeless populations, including supportive housing and respite care. This proposal will provide the candidate with protected time to increase her expertise, expand her mentoring program and develop new research focused on limiting symptoms in older homeless adults in order to guide the development of interventions to improve symptomatology and reduce reliance on the Emergency Department. In addition to gaining new expertise in aging research methods, the candidate will develop a formal mentoring program with plans for the recruitment, selection, development, and evaluation of mentees who will become leaders in patient-oriented research focused on aging vulnerable populations. She will work with each mentee to establish a focused career development plan in which they complete research projects and develop the skills needed to become independent investigators. These plans will make full use of the outstanding clinical research training environment at UCSF. She will leverage her leadership positions at UCSF to recruit more mentees interested in research on aging issues in vulnerable populations.

描述（由申请人提供）：本提案的目的是 1) 培养候选人作为研究弱势成年人衰老问题的初级研究人员的导师的能力和专业知识；2) 进行以患者为导向的患病率、风险因素研究；以及老年无家可归者的老年状况的后果；3）对无家可归者的限制性症状的管理和后果进行以患者为导向的研究，4）利用候选人的研究作为指导弱势群体老龄化问题的初级研究人员的平台。候选人是一名在学术安全网医院执业的普通内科医生，她建立了一个高影响力、资金充足的独立临床研究项目，并拥有出色的发表记录。在完成普通内科医学奖学金后的 13 年里，她建立了一个独立的临床研究项目。作为一名成功的受训者导师，她发表了高影响力的研究，获得了成功的资助，并继续参与以患者为中心的研究，作为其中之一，她开发了广泛的研究组合，重点关注弱势群体的健康结果。第一批研究人员确定无家可归者的老龄化该候选人获得了 NIA 的 R01 资助，用于研究 50 岁及以上无家可归者的生命历程事件与老年疾病发展之间的相互作用。她迄今为止的工作影响了解决无家可归者健康问题的关键干预措施的制定和扩展。该提案将为候选人提供受保护的时间，以提高她的专业知识，扩大她的指导计划并开展新的研究，重点关注限制无家可归的老年人的症状，以指导制定改善的干预措施。症状学并减少对急诊科除了获得老龄化研究方法方面的新专业知识外，候选人还将制定正式的指导计划，其中包括招募、选择、发展和评估受训者的计划，这些受训者将成为以患者为导向的研究的领导者，重点关注老龄化弱势群体。她将与每位学员一起制定一个有针对性的职业发展计划，帮助他们完成研究项目并培养成为独立研究者所需的技能。这些计划将充分利用 UCSF 出色的临床研究培训环境。加州大学旧金山分校的领导职位，以招募更多有兴趣的学员研究弱势群体的老龄化问题。
