Project Summary/Abstract The United States population is rapidly aging, and as it does the complexity of care and challenges to maintaining health continue to grow. This is especially true for older adults from vulnerable populations (OAVP), including those from sociodemographically disenfranchised communities who experience disparities in health care and outcomes, those with complex chronic illnesses, and those with dementia. Concerningly, research on OAVP is not keeping pace with the growth of these populations, owing in part to the shortage of investigators with clinical training in the care of older adults. For these reasons, we propose a T32 research training program with the long term goal of producing new investigators whose work leads to improvements in the wellbeing of OAVP. There will also be special research emphasis on health care delivery in the home as this care modality has shown great promise for improving outcomes for OAVP and Mount Sinai has considerable research and clinical experience with home-based medical care. The OAVP T32 will prepare scholars for successful research careers through: (1) Outstanding research training (well-match interdisciplinary mentorship team, diverse project opportunities, promotion of interdisciplinary collaboration, excellent research didactics through degree granting programs [MPH, MSCR, PhD], research skills development specific to the challenges of working with OAVP, training in the responsible conduct of research); (2) Insight into the clinical care and experiences of OAVP patients through limited clinical geriatrics training involving didactics and direct care responsibilities or shadowing for non-clinician scientists; (3) Professional career skills building (seminars on manuscript and grant writing and oral presentation skills, networking and collaboration opportunities, exposure to non-academic careers to broaden perspectives on professional avenues for improving care and outcomes for OAVP. The program will recruit 2 new post-doctoral scholars in each year of the 2-year training program, 10 in total, including physicians (MD/DO), non-physician clinicians with doctoral level training (e.g., RN, social worker, pharmacist with PhD or equivalent degree), and non- clinical post-doctoral scientists. Among physicians recruited to the program, most will lack geriatrics clinical training. Didactic training will occur through formal courses and seminars. Scholars will publish research manuscripts, present at national meetings, apply for career development awards and other research grants, and transition to full-time faculty-level positions in research or a related field in which their research skills can be effectively applied for the care of OAVP. The Program Director (PD) will work with the Program's Executive Committee to make key decisions about program management. The PD and Executive Committee will be guided in their work by Internal and External Advisory Boards, comprised of experts who can provide high level input into program performance and direction and growth. A broad but feasible and salient set of measures will be collected to guide the growth of the individual scholars and their mentors, and the program overall.

项目摘要/摘要 美国人口正在迅速衰老，并且按照护理和挑战的复杂性 维持健康继续增长。对于来自脆弱人群的老年人尤其如此 （OAVP），包括经历差异的社会人口统计学上贬义的社区 在医疗保健和结果中，患有复杂慢性病的人以及患有痴呆症患者。关于， OAVP的研究并不与这些人群的增长保持同步，部分原因是 在老年人护理中接受临床培训的研究人员。由于这些原因，我们提出了T32研究 培训计划的长期目标是生产新的研究人员，其工作可改善 OAVP的福祉。还将有特别的研究强调家庭中的医疗保健服务 这种护理方式显示了改善OAVP和西奈山的结果的巨大希望 基于家庭医疗的大量研究和临床经验。 OAVP T32将准备 通过：（1）出色的研究培训（良好的研究） 跨学科指导团队，多样化的项目机会，促进跨学科合作， 通过学位授予计划[MPH，MSCR，博士]，研究技能的优秀研究教学法 针对与OAVP合作的挑战，负责任的研究培训的发展； （2）通过有限的临床老年医学培训深入了解OAVP患者的临床护理和经验 涉及教学和直接护理责任或对非临床科学家的阴影； （3）专业人士 职业技能建设（关于手稿和赠款写作和口头演示技巧，网络和网络和 协作机会，暴露于非学术职业以扩大专业的观点 改善OAVP护理和成果的途径。该计划将招募2个新的博士后学者 每年为期两年的培训计划，总共10个，包括医生（MD/DO），非医师临床医生 通过博士学位培训（例如，RN，社会工作者，具有博士学位或同等学位的药剂师）以及非 - 临床博士后科学家。在该计划招募的医师中，大多数将缺乏老年医学临床 训练。教学培训将通过正式课程和研讨会进行。学者将发布研究 出席国家会议的手稿申请职业发展奖和其他研究补助金， 并过渡到研究技能可以在研究或相关领域中的全职教师职位 有效地用于OAVP的护理。该计划主管（PD）将与该计划的执行官合作 委员会做出有关计划管理的关键决定。 PD和执行委员会将是 由内部和外部咨询委员会指导的工作，由专家组成 输入程序性能，方向和增长。广泛但可行且显着的措施将 被收集以指导各个学者及其导师的成长，以及整个计划。
