Family caregiving for older adults is increasingly recognized as an impending public health crisis due to our growing aging population and changing family characteristics. To achieve innovative solutions for the grand challenges family caregivers face, academic entities, who have formerly operated separately, must coalesce to share research approaches and expertise. The purpose of this K07 application, led by Dr. Lee Ellington, is to build the Research Collaborative for Family Caregivers of Older Adults at the University of Utah and Utah Health Sciences to ultimately support the health and wellbeing of family caregivers caring for older adults. The Collaborative is designed to transcend traditional academic boundaries using a bridging infrastructure to harness, connect and amplify existing strengths of five campus entities joining for the first time. These entities include the Center for Alzheimer’s Care, Center on Aging, Center for Health Outcomes and Population Equity in Cancer, Consortium for Families and Health Research, and the College of Nursing (5Cs). Each is committed to starting new endeavors and expanding existing partnerships for caregiving science of older adults through Collaborative activities. Each brings a unique cadre of researchers, trainees and junior faculty, and has a distinct domain or focus that allows for rich cross-fertilization. In addition to collaborating with the 5Cs, Dr. Ellington will partner with a strong, existing University mentorship program to select and provide value-added mentorship and training to 10 Caregiver Scholars fostering their potential to become leaders of interdisciplinary research teams improving support for family caregivers of older adults. Finally, she will create new caregiving-related curricula, which will be delivered through CCTS and the Interprofessional Education Program. These curricula streams will have a wide reach at the University and Health Sciences, educating and training both emerging researchers and the next generation of health care professional about caregiving for older adults. Drawing from her current leadership experiences and enhanced by additional professional development activities, Dr. Ellington is poised to achieve the following aims: 1) Leverage existing entities across the University of Utah and Utah Health Sciences to establish an environment for interdisciplinary faculty to share, collaborate, and advance research for family caregiving across mental and physical health conditions and disabilities for older adults; 2) Partner with an established mentorship program at the University of Utah and Utah Health Sciences to expand capacity and training to promising junior caregiving scientists who actively participate in Collaborative programmatic activities; and 3) Develop and evaluate new curricula on family caregiving for older adults to reach new investigators including emerging clinician scientists and future health care providers. The Collaborative will increase the pool of investigators and promote the capacity and quality of research; thus, elevating the University’s commitment to caregiving and aging science for the health and wellbeing of caregivers of older adults for our state, our region and our nation.

老年人的家庭养老越来越被认为是一场迫在眉睫的公共卫生危机， 人口老龄化和家庭特征的变化。实现宏大的创新解决方案 家庭照顾者面临的挑战，以前单独运作的学术实体必须联合起来， 分享研究方法和专业知识。由Lee Ellington博士领导的K 07应用程序的目的是 在犹他州大学和犹他州建立老年人家庭照顾者研究合作组织 健康科学最终支持照顾老年人的家庭照顾者的健康和福祉。的 协作的目的是超越传统的学术界限，使用桥接基础设施， 利用，连接和放大首次加入的五个校园实体的现有优势。这些实体 包括老年痴呆症护理中心、老龄化中心、健康结果和人口中心 癌症平等，家庭和健康研究联盟，护理学院（5C）。每一个都是 致力于开始新的努力，扩大现有的合作伙伴关系，以促进老年人科学的发展。 成人通过合作活动。每一个都带来了一个独特的研究人员，实习生和初级教师队伍， 并且具有允许丰富的交叉受精的独特领域或焦点。除了与 5C，艾灵顿博士将与一个强大的，现有的大学导师计划合作，选择和提供 为10名照顾者学者提供增值辅导和培训，培养他们成为 跨学科研究小组改善对老年人家庭照顾者的支持。最后，她将创造 新的与教育有关的课程，将通过CCTS和跨专业教育提供 程序.这些课程流将在大学和健康科学领域广泛普及， 培训新兴研究人员和下一代医疗保健专业人员， 老年人利用她目前的领导经验，并通过其他专业人员加强 发展活动，艾灵顿博士准备实现以下目标：1）利用现有实体 横跨犹他州和犹他州健康科学大学建立跨学科教师的环境 分享，合作，并推进研究家庭在精神和身体健康状况 2）与犹他州大学的一个既定的导师计划合作 和犹他州健康科学，以扩大能力和培训，有前途的年轻科学家谁积极 3）制定和评估关于家庭的新课程 让老年人接触新的研究人员，包括新兴的临床科学家和未来的健康 护理提供者。该合作项目将增加调查人员的数量，并提高调查人员的能力和质量。 研究;因此，提升大学对健康和衰老科学的承诺， 为我们的国家，我们的地区和我们的国家的老年人照顾者的福祉。
