The overarching mission of the RCDC is to develop future leaders in geriatrics research, focused in the area of UCLA's theme, Translational Research to Maintain Independence. The RCDC will emphasize "cross training" of its junior scientists, ensuring that they can integrate clinical and basic research knowledge to maintain the health and independence of the aging population. The goals of the RCDC are to 1) Identify talented junior faculty with an interest in aging research who are optimal candidates for UCLA OAIC 3- year career development awards (CDAs); 2) foster the research training and careers of junior scientists with Board Certification in Geriatrics; 3) attract junior faculty from other disciplines into aging research; 4) provide a supportive environment for UCLA OAIC CDA awardees that maximizes the likelihood of successful training, research progress and ultimate career success; 5) emphasize CDA training that will integrate basic and clinical science in addressing research questions; and 6) serve as a resource in aging-related research mentorship for UCLA junior faculty. In meeting these goals, the UCLA RCDC will also conduct outreach to minority CDA candidates and will be attuned to the importance of health disparities research and minority populations' representation in research. The 4 candidate CDAs for Year 1 are conducting research related to UCLA's theme and will develop combined competence in basic and clinical research. David Walker, PhD is a geneticist who is using the genetics of Drosophila to better understand the role of mitochondrial electron transport chain function in modulating the aging process. Michael Yeh, MD is an endocrine surgeon who is using large datasets to examine the rates of parathyroidectomy with increasing age and the impact of both untreated and surgically treated hyperparathyroidism on health-related outcomes among a racially diverse sample of older adults. Jordan Lake, MD is an infectious disease specialist who Is examining mechanisms by which chronic inflammation accelerates aging processes in HIV-infected persons. David Merrill, MD, PhD is a geriatric psychiatrist and neuroscientist who is examining the mechanisms underlying the effects of physical fitness on cognition among older adults, including the role of inflammatory markers.

RCDC的总体使命是发展老年医学研究领域的未来领导者，该领域的重点是UCLA主题领域，即转化研究以维持独立性。 RCDC将强调其初级科学家的“交叉训练”，以确保他们可以整合临床和基础研究知识，以维持老龄化人群的健康和独立性。 RCDC的目标是1）确定有才华的初级教师，对老化的研究感兴趣 UCLA OAIC 3年职业发展奖（CDA）的最佳候选人； 2）培养研究 初级科学家的培训和职业，并获得老年医学董事会认证； 3）吸引来自 其他学科进入衰老研究； 4）为UCLA OAIC CDA获奖者提供支持环境 最大程度地提高了成功培训，研究进步和最终职业成功的可能性； 5） 强调CDA培训，该培训将整合基础和临床科学在解决研究问题时；和6）作为UCLA初级教师与衰老有关的研究指导的资源。在达到这些目标时，加州大学洛杉矶分校RCDC还将向少数民族CDA候选人进行宣传，并将与 健康差异研究和少数群体在研究中的代表性的重要性。 1年级的4个候选CDA正在进行与UCLA主题有关的研究，并将发展 基础研究和临床研究的能力结合在一起。大卫·沃克（David Walker），博士是一位正在使用的遗传学家 果蝇的遗传学更好地了解线粒体电子传输链在功能中的作用 调节衰老过程。医学博士Michael Yeh是一位内分泌外科医生，正在使用大型数据集 检查甲状旁腺切除术的发生率随着年龄的增长以及未经治疗和手术治疗的性甲状旁腺功能亢进症的影响对种族多样的老年人样本中与健康相关的结局的影响。 医学博士Jordan Lake是一名传染病专家，他正在研究慢性炎症加速HIV感染者衰老过程的机制。医学博士David Merrill是一位老年精神病医生和神经科学家，他正在研究身体适应性对老年人认知作用的基础机制，包括炎症标记的作用。
