Center for Population Health and Aging

项目总结(总体) 杜克人口健康和老龄化中心(CPHA)将继续支持 跨学科的环境，以发展老龄研究中的教师队伍，并培养重要的 科学突破，特别是在生物人口学的重叠领域(即生物 和老龄化的生物医学人口学)，健康和福祉的生命过程研究 寿命，以及代际研究，包括健康和长寿的传递。这些 活动将得到由四个综合核心组成的基础设施的支持：(1)强大的 行政和研究支持核心(核心A)，提供集中的有凝聚力的文书、 技术、活动规划和研究支持服务，包括获奖前和获奖后 赠款和项目管理；(2)发展核心(核心B)的方案拟订 赞助商同行评审的试验性研究倡议以及与来自 世界各地；(3)创新的机构间研究和合作网络 在该地区和其他地区的培训都集中在比较动物模型的衰老 外部网络核心(核心C)；和(4)快速设计和测试旨在 加速将研究转化为实践，以创造核心D的成本效益。

Project Summary (Overall) The Duke Center for Population Health and Aging (CPHA) will continue to support an interdisciplinary environment to develop faculty in aging research and to foster important scientific breakthroughs, particularly in the overlapping areas of biodemography (i.e. biological and biomedical demography of aging), life course studies of health and well-being across the lifespan, and intergenerational studies including the transmission of health and longevity. These activities will be supported by an infrastructure consisting of four integrated cores: (i) a strong Administrative and Research Support Core (Core A) that provides central cohesive clerical, technical, event planning and research support services including pre-award and post-award grants and project management; (ii) programming in a Development Core (Core B) that sponsors peer-reviewed pilot research initiatives and interactions with invited experts from around the world; (iii) innovative inter-institutional networks of collaboration in research and training both in the region and beyond focused on comparative animal models of aging in an External Networks Core (Core C); and (iv) the rapid design and testing of methods aimed at accelerating transfer of research to practice to create cost efficiencies in Core D.
