Research Education Component

项目总结REC 康涅狄格州大学OAIC研究教育组件(REC)的目标是创建新一代 接触多学科翻译科学和精确学专业知识的老年研究人员 老年学，这是这项提议特别强调的领域。我们的目标将通过四个目标来实现： 目标1：确定和促进准备进行精确老年学研究的个人的职业生涯 为5位胡椒学者提供直接的OAIC和配套的机构支持以及实物服务， 进一步努力吸引初级研究人员和支持新兴学者；目标2：提供有组织的 从事广泛的精准老年学研究的技能的职业发展 OAIC(基础、临床、卫生服务和流行病学)通过广泛的讲授和经验 产品，强调多学科方法在长凳、床边和床边之间进行翻译 社区；目标3：在区域经济共同体内部和跨区域协调中心核心提供协调和管理服务 包括获得经验丰富的导师、反馈、职业指导、直接财务承诺 康涅狄格州大学医学院、康涅狄格州大学研究副总裁和杰克逊实验室的来信以及机会 与机构内外的其他核心和单位就与伊斯兰会议组织相关的主题开展合作。 REC将由康涅狄格州大学卫生学院精神病学教授兼主席、医学博士、MHS大卫·斯特芬斯博士领导 世卫组织将由医学博士George Kuchel(REC共同领导人；OAIC Pi)协助。两人都是有成就的导师， 老龄化研究领域的领导者和领导者。同时，他们提供了高度互补的背景和 技能集，从而促进REC的领导和科学方向，并深深致力于 多学科团队科学与翻译。 在第一年，我们建议招聘三名非常有前途的初级教员作为胡椒学者。在应用程序中 我们描述了我们可以从康涅狄格州康涅狄格州大学健康学院招募胡椒学者的广泛人才库 以及护理、社会工作和药学学院。我们的目标是招募一批不同的 年轻的研究人员，他们的集体专长和兴趣反映了这项研究的广泛目标和雄心壮志 申请。REC将在该项目的五年中每年总共支持三名学者；应该 一名从REC毕业的奖学金获得者，另一名将被招募为新的接班人。

PROJECT SUMMARY REC The goal of the UConn OAIC Research Education Component (REC) is to create a new generation of investigators in aging with exposure to multidisciplinary translational science and expertise in Precision Gerontology, an area of special emphasis for this proposal. Our goals will be accomplished through 4 aims: Aim 1: Identify and promote careers of individuals poised to conduct Precision Gerontology research by providing direct OAIC and matching institutional support together with “in kind” services for 5 Pepper Scholars, with additional efforts to attract junior investigators and support Emerging Scholars; Aim 2: Provide structured career development for skills that address the broad range of Precision Gerontology research undertaken at the OAIC (basic, clinical, health services, and epidemiology) through a broad array of didactic and experiential offerings, emphasizing multidisciplinary approaches to translation between the bench, bedside and the community; Aim 3: Provide Coordination and Management Services within the REC and across OAIC Cores involving access to experienced mentors, feedback, career guidance, direct financial per commitments in letters from UConn School of Medicine, UConn VP for Research and Jackson Lab plus opportunities to collaborate with other cores and units within and outside the institution for OAIC-related themes. The REC will be led by Dr. David Steffens, MD, MHS, Professor and Chair of Psychiatry at UConn Health who will be assisted by Dr. George Kuchel, MD (REC co-leader; OAIC PI). Both are accomplished mentors, leaders and leaders in aging research. At the same time, they offer highly complementary backgrounds and skillsets, thus facilitating the leadership and scientific direction of a REC with a deep commitment to multidisciplinary team science and translation. For Year 1, we propose to recruit three highly promising junior faculty as Pepper Scholars. In the application we describe the wide pool of talent from which we can recruit Pepper Scholars across UConn Health, UConn Storrs and in the Schools of Nursing, Social Work and Pharmacy. We will aim to recruit a diverse group of young researchers whose collective expertise and interests reflect the broad goals and ambitions of this application. The REC will support a total three scholars per year in each of the five years of the project; should a Scholar graduate from the REC, another will be recruited as a new replacement.
