Funds are requested to continue a series of Summer Training Courses in Experimental Aging Research (STC) that will be held for five days each June from 2019 through 2023. The STC will be directed by Dr. Van Remmen at the Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation (OMRF) and the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center (OUHSC). The course site will rotate among three host institutions: OMRF/OUHSC at Oklahoma City, OK, the University of Washington at Seattle, WA and the Buck Institute for Research on Aging at Novato, CA. Similar STCs have been held with great success every summer since 1993. The Course is designed to provide trainees with intensive exposure to the latest research in experimental biogerontology and individualized guidance regarding the development of a research proposal. Each year’s enrollment will be limited to 25 Trainees with most of the Trainees in the formative stage of their careers, i.e., junior faculty in their first four years or postdoctoral fellows in the last year of their fellowship. Each trainee is expected to have at least two years of productive laboratory experience in some aspect of biology beyond the doctoral degree (MD, PhD, or DVM). The five-day program will include the following four activities: (a) overview lectures designed to introduce trainees to the context, latest findings, and unanswered questions in major areas of biogerontology, (b) an opportunity for each trainee to present his or her Specific Aims for a research project that will be critiqued by the Training Faculty, (c) seminars focusing on the NIH system and funding opportunities at the NIA presented by NIA staff and seminars focusing on novel methodological approaches that could be important in studying aging by a faculty member at the host or nearby institution, and (d) after- dinner discussions dealing with what reviewers look for when reviewing grants, how to handle and prevent scientific misconduct in the laboratory, and how to find and interview for a position. Nine scientists will serve as the Steering Committee of the STC and will be responsible for selecting the trainees and making changes in the organization or content of the STC: Drs. Van Remmen, the Director/PI, Richardson, the Co-Director, and Dr. Sonntag who will host the Course at Oklahoma City (OK), Drs. Campisi (Co-PI), Lithgow, and Kapahi who will host the Course at Novato (CA), and Drs. Rabinovitch (Co-PI), Promislow, and Kaeberlein who will host the Course at Seattle (WA). In addition, eight Training Faculty who are leaders in the field of aging and have served on Study Sections related to aging will participate in each STC: 3 faculty from the host institution and 5 faculty from other institutions. Trainees are asked to review each STC and these reviews are considered by the Steering Committee when planning the next STC. The overall rating of the STCs over the past five years by the Trainees has been outstanding. 89% of the former trainees who responded to our poll are still involved in aging research and 59% of the Trainees have been successful in obtaining funding for their research on aging (52% from NIH and 25% from non-federal sources).

要求提供资金，继续举办一系列实验性老龄化研究暑期培训班 (STC)该活动将于2019年至2023年每年6月举行，为期五天。STC将由货车博士指导 雷门在俄克拉荷马州医学研究基金会（OMRF）和俄克拉荷马州卫生大学 科学中心（OUHSC）。课程地点将在三个主办机构之间轮换：OMRF/OUHSC， 位于俄克拉荷马州俄克拉荷马州市、华盛顿州西雅图的华盛顿大学和巴克老龄化研究所 在加利福尼亚州的诺瓦托。自1993年以来，每年夏天都举办类似的科技联络会，取得了巨大成功。该课程是 旨在为学员提供密集的接触最新的研究，在实验乳腺癌， 关于研究计划制定的个性化指导。每年的入学人数将是 限于25名受训人员，大多数受训人员处于职业生涯的形成阶段，即，初级教员 他们的前四年或博士后研究员在他们的奖学金的最后一年。每个受训者都应该有 在博士学位之外的生物学方面至少两年的生产实验室经验 (MD、PhD或DVM）。为期五天的方案将包括以下四项活动： 旨在向学员介绍背景，最新发现，以及在主要领域未回答的问题， 生物学，（B）为每个受训者提供一个展示其研究项目具体目标的机会 将由培训学院进行批评，（c）重点讨论NIH系统和资金的研讨会 NIA工作人员在NIA上提供的机会和侧重于新方法的研讨会 在主办机构或附近机构的教员研究衰老过程中可能很重要的信息，以及（d）在- 晚餐讨论处理评审员在评审赠款时寻找什么，如何处理和防止 实验室中的科学不端行为，以及如何找到和面试一个职位。 九名科学家将担任科技委的指导委员会，负责挑选 学员和STC的组织或内容的变化：货车Remmen博士，主任/PI， Richardson，联合主任，和Sonntag博士谁将主持课程在俄克拉荷马州市（OK），坎皮西博士 （共同PI），利斯戈，和卡帕希谁将主办的课程在诺瓦托（加利福尼亚州），和博士。 Promislow和Kaeberlein将在西雅图（WA）举办课程。此外，八个培训学院， 是老龄化领域的领导者，并曾在与老龄化相关的研究部门任职，将参加每一个 STC：3名教师来自主办机构和5名教师来自其他机构。要求受训者回顾每一项 指导委员会在规划下一次培训技术委员会时将考虑培训技术委员会和这些审查。整体 学员在过去五年对培训中心的评价一直很高。89%的前学员 参与我们调查的人仍然参与老龄化研究，59%的受训者成功地 为衰老研究获得资金（52%来自NIH，25%来自非联邦来源）。
