This is the fourth competing renewal of the Yale Training Program in Geriatric Clinical Epidemiology and Aging-Related Research. The objective of the Yale Program is to develop a cadre of physician scientists and PhD investigators (clinicians and nonclinicians) with expertise in geriatric clinical epidemiology and/or translational aging research and equip them to address the myriad of unanswered questions concerning the diagnosis, etiology, treatment, prevention, and prognosis of the health problems experienced by the ever- increasing number of older persons. We will accomplish this objective by providing highly qualified physicians, who are already well trained in geriatrics and/or subspecialties with age-related relevance, and outstanding PhD investigators with 2 to 3 years of rigorous research training. Our trainees will develop skills in each of 11 essential areas: 1) formulation of significant and focused research questions and hypotheses; 2) design of observational, mechanistic and/or experimental studies to address focused research questions; 3) techniques to successfully execute specific study designs; 4) project and/or laboratory management; 5) critical analysis of the scientific literature; 6) principles of data science; 7) interpretation of findings; 8) oral and written communication of scientific methods and findings; 9) development and implementation of strategies for research support; 10) research team approaches and leadership; and 11) budget management. These skills will be developed through a training experience that includes both didactic and experiential components. The didactic curriculum includes courses offered through the Clinician Scholars Program, Investigative Medicine Program and School of Public Health, coupled with several high quality aging-specific training forums at Yale and “off site”. The central component of the Yale Program is a mentored research experience, which includes structured meetings with Program Faculty in geriatrics/gerontology and at least one supervised research project tailored to the trainee’s experiences and interests, with the goal of producing one or more first- authored, peer-reviewed publications and a grant application to support further research. The Yale Program has successfully recruited and retained a full complement of outstanding trainees during each of the first 19 years, and has successfully placed many of its graduates in tenure-track, research-intensive positions at top- tier academic institutions. For the next five years, we request continued funding for four postdoctoral positions.

这是耶鲁大学老年临床流行病学培训项目的第四次竞争性更新， 老化相关的研究。耶鲁大学项目的目标是培养一支医生科学家骨干队伍， 具有老年临床流行病学专业知识的博士研究者（临床医生和非临床医生）和/或 翻译老化研究，并装备他们，以解决无数的悬而未决的问题， 诊断，病因，治疗，预防和预后的健康问题所经历的， 老年人越来越多。我们将通过提供高素质的医生， 已经在老年医学和/或与年龄相关的亚专科方面受过良好培训， 博士研究员，2至3年严格的研究训练。我们的学员将在11个国家的每个国家发展技能， 基本领域：1）制定重要和重点研究问题和假设; 2）设计 观察性、机械性和/或实验性研究，以解决重点研究问题; 3）技术 成功执行特定研究设计; 4）项目和/或实验室管理; 5）关键分析 科学文献; 6）数据科学原理; 7）结果解释; 8）口头和书面 科学方法和研究结果的交流; 9）制定和实施战略， 研究支持; 10）研究团队方法和领导; 11）预算管理。这些技能 将通过培训经验，包括教学和经验的组成部分。的 教学课程包括通过临床医生学者计划提供的课程，调查医学 计划和公共卫生学院，再加上耶鲁大学的几个高质量的老龄化特定的培训论坛 和“场外”。耶鲁计划的核心组成部分是指导研究经验，其中包括 与老年医学/老年学课程教师举行有组织的会议，并至少进行一项监督研究 根据学员的经验和兴趣量身定制的项目，目标是产生一个或多个第一- 作者，同行评审的出版物和资助申请，以支持进一步的研究。耶鲁大学项目 在首19年的每一年， 多年来，并已成功地将其许多毕业生在终身制轨道，研究密集型的职位在顶级- 等级学术机构。在接下来的五年里，我们要求继续资助四个博士后职位。
