This is the fourth competing renewal of the Yale Training Program in Geriatric Clinical Epidemiology and Aging-Related Research. The objective of the Yale Program is to develop a cadre of physician scientists and PhD investigators (clinicians and nonclinicians) with expertise in geriatric clinical epidemiology and/or translational aging research and equip them to address the myriad of unanswered questions concerning the diagnosis, etiology, treatment, prevention, and prognosis of the health problems experienced by the ever- increasing number of older persons. We will accomplish this objective by providing highly qualified physicians, who are already well trained in geriatrics and/or subspecialties with age-related relevance, and outstanding PhD investigators with 2 to 3 years of rigorous research training. Our trainees will develop skills in each of 11 essential areas: 1) formulation of significant and focused research questions and hypotheses; 2) design of observational, mechanistic and/or experimental studies to address focused research questions; 3) techniques to successfully execute specific study designs; 4) project and/or laboratory management; 5) critical analysis of the scientific literature; 6) principles of data science; 7) interpretation of findings; 8) oral and written communication of scientific methods and findings; 9) development and implementation of strategies for research support; 10) research team approaches and leadership; and 11) budget management. These skills will be developed through a training experience that includes both didactic and experiential components. The didactic curriculum includes courses offered through the Clinician Scholars Program, Investigative Medicine Program and School of Public Health, coupled with several high quality aging-specific training forums at Yale and “off site”. The central component of the Yale Program is a mentored research experience, which includes structured meetings with Program Faculty in geriatrics/gerontology and at least one supervised research project tailored to the trainee’s experiences and interests, with the goal of producing one or more first- authored, peer-reviewed publications and a grant application to support further research. The Yale Program has successfully recruited and retained a full complement of outstanding trainees during each of the first 19 years, and has successfully placed many of its graduates in tenure-track, research-intensive positions at top- tier academic institutions. For the next five years, we request continued funding for four postdoctoral positions.

这是耶鲁大学老年临床流行病学培训项目的第四次竞争更新， 衰老相关研究。耶鲁大学项目的目标是培养一支医学科学家骨干队伍 具有老年临床流行病学专业知识的博士研究人员（临床医生和非临床医生）和/或 转化衰老研究并使他们能够解决有关衰老的无数悬而未决的问题 诊断、病因、治疗、预防和预后 老年人数量不断增加。我们将通过提供高素质的医生来实现这一目标， 他们已经在老年病学和/或与年龄相关的亚专业方面接受过良好的培训，并且表现出色 接受过 2 至 3 年严格研究培训的博士研究人员。我们的学员将培养 11 项技能 基本领域：1）提出重要且有针对性的研究问题和假设； 2）设计 观察、机制和/或实验研究，以解决重点研究问题； 3）技术 成功执行具体的研究设计； 4) 项目和/或实验室管理； 5）批判性分析 科学文献； 6）数据科学原理； 7) 对调查结果的解释； 8）口头和书面 传播科学方法和发现； 9）制定并实施战略 研究支持； 10）研究团队的方法和领导力； 11）预算管理。这些技能 将通过包括教学和体验部分的培训经验来发展。这 教学课程包括通过临床医生学者计划、研究医学提供的课程 项目和公共卫生学院，以及耶鲁大学的几个高质量的针对老龄化的培训论坛 和“场外”。耶鲁大学项目的核心组成部分是指导性的研究经验，其中包括 与老年病学/老年学项目教师举行结构化会议，并至少开展一项受监督的研究 根据学员的经验和兴趣量身定制的项目，目标是产生一个或多个第一 撰写、同行评审的出版物和资助进一步研究的申请。耶鲁大学项目 前19届，每年都成功招募并留住了一批优秀学员 多年来，并成功地将许多毕业生安置在顶尖的终身教授、研究密集型职位上。 一级学术机构。在接下来的五年里，我们请求继续为四个博士后职位提供资金。
