项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The long-term objective of this Academic Leadership Award is to build a world-class research program in disability and disabling disorders at the Yale School of Medicine. The immediate objective is to elevate the visibility and stature of the candidate's newly established Center on Disability and Disabling Disorders, both locally and nationally. The Disability Center strives to address fundamental questions related to the epidemiology and prevention of disability, a problem of immense importance to older persons, their families and society. Under the direction of the candidate, the Center conducts epidemiologic studies and clinical trials to enhance the scientific knowledge base of the disablement process and to rigorously evaluate promising intervention strategies. The Center includes an expanding number of clinical investigators and trainees, across disciplines, who are pursuing aging research related to disability and disabling disorders. This includes functional assessment in general as well as the functional consequences of highly prevalent disease-specific conditions such as arthritis, heart failure, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, influenza, diabetes, stroke, depression, and dementia. To accomplish its long-term objective, this Academic Leadership Award will carry out four specific aims: (1) to strengthen the infrastructure of the Disability Center by: (a) establishing and maintaining an operational registr of potential participants for pilot and other field studies; and (b) creating a repository of longitudinal studies and clinical trials focused on disability and disabling disorders; (2) to recrit and train outstanding fellows and junior faculty from multiple disciplines in the science of patien-oriented, aging research, with a primary focus on functional assessment, disability and disabling disorders; (3) to establish a pilot grant program to support the most promising epidemiologic and intervention studies focused on disability and disabling disorders; and (4) to expand the scope of research at Yale related to disability and disabling disorders. The candidate is an internationally recognized geriatrician and epidemiologist and a leading authority on the epidemiology and prevention of disability among older persons. By leveraging start-up funds from the Yale School of Medicine and an impressive array of outstanding institutional resources in aging research, training, and career development, this Academic Leadership Award will position the candidate to make the Disability Center self-sustaining through the subsequent receipt of a Program Project (P01) award and/or support from private philanthropy and other federal and non-federal sources.

描述（由申请人提供）：该学术领导奖的长期目标是在耶鲁大学医学院建立一个世界一流的残疾和致残疾病研究项目。近期目标是提高候选人新成立的残疾和残疾疾病中心在当地和全国的知名度和地位。残疾中心致力于解决与残疾流行病学和预防有关的基本问题，这是一个对老年人、其家庭和社会极为重要的问题。在候选人的指导下，该中心进行流行病学研究和临床试验，以增强残疾过程的科学知识基础，并严格评估有希望的干预策略。该中心包括越来越多的跨学科临床研究人员和实习生，他们正在从事与残疾和致残性疾病相关的衰老研究。这包括一般功能评估以及高度流行的特定疾病（如关节炎、心力衰竭、慢性阻塞性肺病、流感、糖尿病、中风、抑郁症和痴呆）的功能后果。为了实现其长期目标，该学术领导奖将实现四个具体目标：（1）通过以下方式加强残疾中心的基础设施：（a）建立和维护试点和其他实地研究潜在参与者的业务登记册; (b) 建立一个以残疾和致残性疾病为重点的纵向研究和临床试验资料库； (2) 招收和培训以患者为导向的衰老研究科学领域的多学科优秀研究员和初级教师，主要关注功能评估、残疾和致残疾病； (3) 建立试点拨款计划，以支持最有前途的流行病学和干预研究，重点关注残疾和致残疾病； (4) 扩大耶鲁大学与残疾和致残疾病相关的研究范围。该候选人是国际公认的老年病学家和流行病学家，也是老年人流行病学和残疾预防领域的权威。通过利用耶鲁大学医学院的启动资金以及在老龄化研究、培训和职业发展方面一系列令人印象深刻的杰出机构资源，该学术领导奖将使候选人能够通过随后的收入使残疾中心实现自我维持。计划项目 (P01) 奖励和/或来自私人慈善机构和其他联邦和非联邦来源的支持。
