项目摘要

ABSTRACT The candidate, a Professor of Medicine and Clinical and Translational Research at the University of Pittsburgh, is applying for a K07 to establish a new and novel program, the Long-term Care Research Network (LTCRN). Long-term care (LTC) residents are the most frail and immobile, have the greatest co-morbidity and cost burden to the health care system -- yet little clinical research involves these residents, and practice guidelines for healthy elderly may not be relevant. The long-term objective of this comprehensive program of clinical investigation and training is to enhance the health of older adults residing in long-term care facilities by engaging researchers in relevant and collaborative, multidisciplinary research programs across the University of Pittsburgh. The short-term objective of the program is to build the infrastructure necessary to accomplish the following four interrelated specific aims: 1) Establish a centralized and integrated program at the University of Pittsburgh and University of Pittsburgh Medical Center (UPMC) bringing together multidisciplinary collaborative investigators who focus on LTC research to improve health for these patients, 2) Develop a dual recruitment model to facilitate access to both LTC residents and facilities in the greater Pittsburgh area who are willing to participate in clinical research, 3) Provide a LTC mobile laboratory to enhance clinical research that will be performed on site at each LTC facility, and 4) Promote recruitment and training for young investigators interested in LTC research to provide a better understanding of specific LTC research needs. She will accomplish these goals by developing the LTCRN at the University of Pittsburgh, leveraging the considerable resources of the UPMC Aging Institute, The Division of Geriatrics and Gerontology, The Clinical Translational Science Institute and Institute for Clinical Research Education, The Claude Pepper Older American Independence Center (of which she is the PI), the many training programs at the university including her own T32 in Geriatrics and Gerontology, UPMC Senior Communities and the many established senior investigators who are currently engaged in clinical research in the LTC setting. Novel components of this K07 include the development of an umbrella program to bring multidisciplinary investigators together to collaborate, a LTC participant and facility registry, a mobile laboratory to allow investigators to provide on-site evaluations and a personalized training program for both mentees and mentors. The candidate's background as the PI of the Pepper Center and Director of the Pepper training core, NIA funding in LTC research, institutional support, and 10 years of a K24 mentoring award, provides her with the leadership skills, research expertise and experience for a successful and sustainable program.

抽象的候选人是大学医学，临床和翻译研究教授匹兹堡，正在申请K07来建立新的新型计划，即长期护理研究网络（LTCRN）。长期护理（LTC）居民是最脆弱和不动的医疗保健系统的合并症和成本负担 - 但临床研究很少涉及这些居民和健康老年人的练习指南可能无关紧要。长期目标的这个临床调查和培训的全面计划是为了增强老年人的健康状况通过与研究人员参与相关和协作的成年人，居住在长期护理机构中匹兹堡大学的多学科研究计划。短期目标的该计划是建立完成以下四个相互关联所需的基础架构具体目的：1）在匹兹堡大学建立集中和集成计划匹兹堡大学医学中心（UPMC）汇集了多学科合作专注于LTC研究以改善这些患者健康的研究人员，2）发展双重招募模型，以促进大匹兹堡的LTC居民和设施的通道愿意参加临床研究的地区，3）提供LTC移动实验室以增强将在每个LTC设施现场进行的临床研究，以及4）促进招聘和对对LTC研究感兴趣的年轻研究人员的培训，以更好地了解特定的LTC研究需求。她将通过开发LTCRN来实现这些目标匹兹堡大学，利用UPMC老化研究所的大量资源老年医学和老年学系，临床转化科学研究所兼研究所临床研究教育，克劳德胡椒老年美国独立中心（其中她是PI），大学的许多培训课程，包括她自己的老年医学T32和老年医学，UPMC高级社区和许多已成熟的高级调查员目前在LTC环境中从事临床研究。该K07的新颖组成部分包括开发伞计划，以将多学科研究人员聚集在一起，以协作， LTC参与者和设施注册表，一家移动实验室，允许调查人员提供现场对受训者和导师的评估和个性化培训计划。候选人的背景为胡椒中心的PI和胡椒培训核心的主任，NIA资助 LTC研究，机构支持以及10年的K24指导奖，为她提供了领导技能，研究专业知识和经验，为成功且可持续的计划。
