Center for Population Health and Aging

项目概要（总体） 杜克人口健康与老龄化中心（CPHA）将继续支持 跨学科的环境，以发展教师在老龄化研究和培养重要的 科学突破，特别是在生物人口学（即生物统计学）的重叠领域 和老龄化的生物医学人口学），健康和福祉的生命过程研究， 寿命和代际研究，包括健康和寿命的传递。这些 这些活动将得到一个由四个综合核心组成的基础设施的支持： 行政和研究支持核心（核心A），提供中央凝聚力的文书， 技术、活动策划和研究支持服务，包括授标前和授标后 赠款和项目管理; ㈡发展核心方案（核心B）， 赞助同行审查的试点研究倡议，并与来自 （三）创新的机构间研究和技术合作网络， 该区域内外的培训侧重于比较动物模型的老化， 外部网络核心（核心C）;以及（iv）快速设计和测试旨在 加速将研究成果转化为实践，以提高核心D的成本效益。

Project Summary (Overall) The Duke Center for Population Health and Aging (CPHA) will continue to support an interdisciplinary environment to develop faculty in aging research and to foster important scientific breakthroughs, particularly in the overlapping areas of biodemography (i.e. biological and biomedical demography of aging), life course studies of health and well-being across the lifespan, and intergenerational studies including the transmission of health and longevity. These activities will be supported by an infrastructure consisting of four integrated cores: (i) a strong Administrative and Research Support Core (Core A) that provides central cohesive clerical, technical, event planning and research support services including pre-award and post-award grants and project management; (ii) programming in a Development Core (Core B) that sponsors peer-reviewed pilot research initiatives and interactions with invited experts from around the world; (iii) innovative inter-institutional networks of collaboration in research and training both in the region and beyond focused on comparative animal models of aging in an External Networks Core (Core C); and (iv) the rapid design and testing of methods aimed at accelerating transfer of research to practice to create cost efficiencies in Core D.
