The REC supports career development, mentoring, and research training for early-stage investigators to transition to independent research careers. Our program serves multiple institutions in San Antonio, the 7th largest city in the U.S. and one of the largest Hispanic majority minority cities – reflecting the future demographics of the U.S. The OAIC is the focal point for geroscience research training for the South Texas region. Our overall goal is to foster development of early-stage investigators in translational geroscience. Scholars will have a comprehensive skill set to test aging-modulating interventions in older adults. Our REC program was successfully established within the last 4 years to 1) enhance clinical and translational research knowledge and experience of basic scientists; 2) develop mechanistic research skills of clinical investigators; and 3) facilitate collaborations among basic and clinical researchers. This goal is achieved through the following Aims: Aim 1: Oversee the recruitment, selection, monitoring, and evaluation of a highly qualified, dedicated and diverse group of early-career REC Scholars; assisting with their development into clinical and translational scientists in geroscience who can effectively lead and contribute to interdisciplinary research teams. Aim 2: Provide active multi-disciplinary supervising (mentoring) teams that regularly monitor, evaluate, and guide the progress of each REC Scholar through their research and career development programs; Scholars and their mentors will develop individualized structured research education plans with clearly defined responsibilities and milestones based on their investigative needs and focused on cross-training in translational sciences. Aim 3: Recruit and advance the careers of a diverse cadre of Scholars across multiple dimensions, including women, underrepresented minorities and active-duty military and veterans representative of our patient population to build a geroscience workforce with expertise in medicine, nursing, psychology, pharmacy and other health care disciplines necessary for advancing geriatric care in a team science environment. Aim 4: Promote cross-fertilization and assure integration of the REC participants' career development and activities with a) all San Antonio OAIC programs and b) the national OAIC network. Our Core has two customized tracks: the OAIC Phase 1 Program provides salary support, intensive mentoring and didactics in translational geroscience to a diverse cadre of early-stage investigators. Phase 2 provides continued career development activities for Scholars finishing Phase 1 and early-stage faculty emphasizing growth in independence leadership and mentoring skills. The REC trains the next generation of scientists in geroscience by weaving together the robust and unique aging research resources and research education programs in South Texas into an integrated enhanced career development environment. We are well positioned to translate healthy aging strategies developed in rodents and tested in marmosets to promote healthspan and accelerate progress in the new discipline of translational geroscience.

REC 支持早期研究人员的职业发展、指导和研究培训，以 我们的项目为圣安东尼奥的多个机构提供服务，第七。 美国最大的城市，也是最大的西班牙裔少数族裔城市之一——反映了未来的人口统计数据 OAIC 是美国德克萨斯州南部地区老年科学研究培训的焦点。 我们的总体目标是促进转化老年科学研究者的发展。 将拥有一套全面的技能来测试老年人的衰老调节干预措施。 在过去 4 年内成功建立，以 1) 增强临床和转化研究知识， 基础科学家的经验；2）培养临床研究人员的机械研究技能；3）促进 基础和临床研究人员之间的合作是通过以下目标实现的： 目标 1：监督高素质、敬业且多元化的人才的招聘、选拔、监督和评估 一群早期职业生涯的 REC 学者；协助他们发展成为临床和转化科学家 老年科学领域的专家能够有效领导跨学科研究团队并为之做出贡献。 目标 2：提供积极的多学科监督（辅导）团队，定期监测、评估和指导 每位 REC 学者及其研究和职业发展计划的进展； 导师将制定个性化的结构化研究教育计划，并明确界定职责和 基于他们的研究需求的里程碑，并侧重于转化科学的交叉培训。 目标 3：在多个维度招募和推进多元化学者干部的职业生涯，包括 妇女、代表性不足的少数族裔以及现役军人和退伍军人代表我们的患者 人口建立一支具有医学、护理、心理学、药学和其他专业知识的老年科学劳动力队伍 在团队科学环境中推进老年护理所必需的医疗保健学科。 目标 4：促进交叉融合并确保 REC 参与者的职业发展和 与 a) 所有圣安东尼奥 OAIC 计划和 b) 国家 OAIC 网络开展的活动。 我们的核心有两个定制轨道：OAIC 第一阶段计划提供薪资支持、强化 向不同的早期阶段研究人员提供转化老年科学的指导和教学。 为完成第一阶段的学者和早期教师提供持续的职业发展活动 REC 强调独立领导力和指导技能的培养。 老年科学领域的科学家将强大而独特的衰老研究资源和研究结合在一起 我们将德克萨斯州南部的教育计划融入到一个综合的、增强的职业发展环境中。 旨在转化在啮齿类动物中开发并在狨猴中进行测试的健康衰老策略，以促进 healthspan 并加速转化老年科学这一新学科的进展。
