Paul B. Beeson Emerging Leaders Career Development Awards in Aging Annual Meeting

项目摘要/摘要 人口老龄化正在以我们从未经历过的方式改变着我们的社会 在此之前。至关重要的是，国家不仅有能力提供高质量的医疗和 为美国老年人提供支持性护理，但也是为了发展新的科学知识， 确保我们活得更健康、更长久，同时优化我们的独立性和生产力。这个 然而，美国仍然严重缺乏训练有素的临床医生。 能够满足日益老龄化的人口需求的调查人员。的一个关键目标是 因此，比森计划是为了扩大人才库，培养非常有才华的人 拥有学术领导所需的技能和毅力的临床医生研究人员 老龄化研究和老年病学。比森年会(BAM)在以下方面发挥了重要作用 培养比森学者的职业发展和领导力。这个U13的资金 申请将使我们能够利用约翰·A·哈特福德基金会剩余的私人赠款资金 基金会将BAMS至少持续到2021年。建议的每年5次的系列 会议通过促进以下方面的职业发展和研究来支持NIA的使命 临床医生研究人员在老龄化中，并通过交换和传播关于 向科学界介绍老龄化/老年病学和老龄研究的进展。这款U13 会议赠款将为现任和前任比森学者提供一个论坛，以：1.促进 学者之间的合作；2.培养和发展集体认同；3.支持事业 培养和促进领导技能，帮助学者变得独立 老龄化研究和老年医学领域的研究人员和领导者；4.交流研究信息 并在多学科小组之间建立更有效的网络；5.提供与同事的联系 他们正在研究与衰老有关的类似科学问题，尽管往往是在不同的学科； 6.从国家公认的学术领袖那里获得持续的补充指导 谁可以指导学者的研究和职业发展；7.提供访问 对学者成长和发展有帮助的组织、项目和同事。这 U13应用程序将使用多学科和跨学科的方法，解决以下关键问题 老年人，提高对整个NIH老龄化研究中独特挑战的认识 NIA以外的研究所(IC)，鼓励合作研究，并培养领导力 发展。会议将为学者们创造机会，与他们的 同行、校友和资深科学家。

Project Summary/Abstract The aging of our population is transforming our society in ways that we have never experienced before. It is critical that the nation has the ability not only to provide high quality medical and supportive care to older Americans, but also to develop the new scientific knowledge that will ensure that we live healthier longer, while optimizing our independence and productivity. The United States, however, continues to suffer a critical shortage of well-trained clinician investigators who can address the needs of a growing aging population. A key goal of the Beeson program therefore is to expand the pool and foster the careers of exceptionally talented clinician investigators who possess the skills and fortitude necessary for academic leadership in aging research and geriatrics. The Beeson Annual Meetings (BAM) play an important role in nurturing the career development and leadership of the Beeson Scholars. Funding of this U13 application will allow us to leverage the remaining private grant funds from The John A. Hartford Foundation to continue the BAMs through at least 2021. The proposed series of 5 annual meetings support the mission of the NIA by fostering the career development and research of clinician investigators in aging, and by exchanging and disseminating information about aging/geriatrics and advances in aging research to the scientific community. This U13 conference grant will provide a forum for current and former Beeson Scholars to: 1. foster collaborations among scholars; 2. nurture and develop a collective identity; 3. support career development and promote leadership skills that help scholars become independent investigators and leaders in aging research and geriatrics; 4. exchange research information and network more effectively among multidisciplinary groups; 5. provide access to colleagues who are working on similar scientific issues related to aging, though often in different disciplines; 6. receive ongoing complementary mentorship from nationally recognized academic leaders who can guide the Scholars’ research and career development and; 7. provide access to organizations, programs, and colleagues helpful to the Scholars’ growth and development. This U13 application will use a multi- and inter-disciplinary approach, to address critical issues for older adults, increase awareness of the unique challenges in aging research across the NIH institutes (ICs) beyond the NIA, encourage collaborative research, and foster leadership development. The meetings will create opportunities for the scholars to network with their peers, alumni, and senior scientists.
