 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.

 说明（由申请人提供）： 医学生老龄化夏季研究培训 (MSTAR) 计划的目标是： 1) 为具有多元化文化的医学生骨干人员提供为期 8 周的利用教学法进行老年病学和老年学研究的刺激性暑期体验、临床和研究培训；2) 使用摘要、演示文稿和出版物的数量来衡量参与医学生的生产力；3) 确定该计划对学生职业生涯的影响；该培训计划的主要目的是增加来自不同文化背景的从事老龄相关研究的医生队伍，预计美国 65 岁及以上的成年人口将增加。 85 岁以上的人口将增加一倍，从 3500 万增加到 7000 万，此外，少数民族人口的比例将从 20% 增加到 42%。约翰·霍普金斯大学的 MSTAR 项目旨在为第一年毕业后的 18 名学生提供支持。医学院博士，在约翰·霍普金斯大学医学院老年医学和老年学部、老龄化与健康中心以及国家老龄化研究所进行了为期 8 周的研究经验，培训目标为所需的知识、技能和行为。通过允许学生进行指导性研究，并辅以流行病学、生物统计学、假设生成和检验、负责任的研究行为和指导性研究经验等教学方法（例如讲座、研讨会等）来进行适合阶段的研究。设计为在夏季完成，并在美国老年病学协会年会上提交同行评审的摘要和其他合适的同行评审的学术论文，旨在证明该研究的相关性。人口老龄化的需求，并传递对老龄化研究职业的兴奋。
