The Specific Aims of the Research Development Core of the San Antonio Nathan Shock Aging Center are the following: 1) To expand the scope of research into the basic biology of aging at the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio (UTHSCSA) and in San Antonio, and 2) To develop young investigators for the future needs of biological gerontology and, in particular, for maintaining the preeminence of this institution in the field of aging. The major vehicle that we will use to achieve these goals is to provide funds and other resources that will allow investigators to carry out pilot studies so that they can compete successfully for funding from NIA and other national agencies that fund research on aging. Awarding funds for pilot studies to young faculty members who have an interest in aging will help in directing talented young scientists into a career in biological gerontology. In addition, providing funds for pilot studies is also an effective tool in recruiting established investigators who are not engaged directly in aging research into the field. In addition to funds for research, three other mechanisms will be used to support faculty interested in conducting pilot studies in aging: 1) A course entitled, "Biology of Aging" will continue to be offered each fall to introduce graduate students, post-doctoral fellows, and young investigators to the various areas of aging research and to problems that are unique to the study of aging. 2) The "Biology of Aging Seminar Series" and an annual "Age Day" will highlight the research accomplishments of faculty in aging and inform students, post-doctoral fellows and faculty on current issues in aging research. Pilot grant awardees will present their research results in these forums. 3) A mentoring program will be offered to assist faculty in obtaining research funding in aging from national sources.

San Antonio Nathan冲击衰老中心的研究开发核心的具体目的是： 1）将研究范围扩大到德克萨斯大学健康科学中心（UTHSCSA）和圣安东尼奥的基本衰老生物学范围，以及 2）为生物学老年学的未来需求培养年轻的研究者，尤其是在衰老领域维持该机构的优势。 我们将用来实现这些目标的主要工具是提供资金和其他资源，这些资金和其他资源将使调查人员能够进行试点研究，以便他们可以成功竞争NIA和其他国家机构资助的资金，这些机构资助了有关老龄化研究的研究。向对老龄化感兴趣的年轻教职员工授予试点研究的资金将有助于指导才华横溢的年轻科学家从事生物学老年学的职业。此外，为试点研究提供资金也是招募未直接从事该领域衰老的研究人员的有效工具。除研究资金外，还将使用其他三种机制来支持有兴趣进行衰老试点研究的教师： 1）每年秋天将继续提供题为“衰老的生物学”的课程，以介绍研究生，博士后研究员以及年轻的研究人员到衰老研究的各个领域以及对衰老研究所独有的问题。 2）“老化研讨会系列的生物学”和年度“年龄日”将重点介绍研究 老年教师的成就，并告知学生，博士后研究员和教师 衰老研究的当前问题。飞行员赠款获奖者将在这些论坛中介绍他们的研究结果。 3）将提供一项指导计划，以协助教师从国家来源获得衰老的研究资金。
