Research Education Component

项目总结记录 UConn OAIC研究教育组件（REC）的目标是创建新一代的 研究人员在老龄化与接触多学科的转化科学和专业知识，在精密 老年学是本建议特别强调的一个领域。我们的目标将通过四个目标来实现： 目标1：通过以下方式确定和促进准备进行精密老年学研究的个人的职业生涯 为5名胡椒学者提供直接的OAIC和匹配的机构支持以及“实物”服务， 并进一步努力吸引初级研究人员和支持新兴学者;目标2：提供结构化的 职业发展的技能，解决了广泛的精密老年学研究在 OAIC（基础，临床，卫生服务和流行病学）通过广泛的教学和经验， 产品，强调多学科的方法，以翻译之间的板凳，床边和 目标3：在REC内部和OAIC核心之间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，直接的财务承诺， 来自康州大学医学院、康州大学研究副总裁和杰克逊实验室的信件，以及 与机构内外的其他核心和单位合作，处理与OAIC相关的主题。 REC将由康州大学健康学院精神病学教授兼主席大卫斯蒂芬斯博士领导 将由医学博士乔治库切尔（REC共同负责人; OAIC PI）协助。两人都是有成就的导师， 老龄化研究的领导者和领导者。同时，他们提供高度互补的背景， 技能，从而促进REC的领导和科学方向，并致力于 多学科团队科学和翻译。 对于第一年，我们建议招募三个非常有前途的初级教师作为胡椒学者。应用中 我们描述了广泛的人才库，我们可以从康州大学健康，康州大学 斯托尔斯和在护理，社会工作和药学学校。我们的目标是招募一个多元化的群体， 年轻的研究人员，他们的集体专业知识和利益反映了广泛的目标和野心，这是 应用程序.在该项目的五年中，区域环境委员会每年将总共支助三名学者; 一名从REC毕业的学者，另一名将被招募作为新的替代者。

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.
