PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT RESEARCH EDUCATION COMPONENT (REC) There is a critical need for training junior investigators to conduct high quality research focused on the needs of older adults with Alzheimer’s Disease and Related Dementias (ADRD) and other serious illness and their families. This proposal for the Research Education Component (REC) program of our Older Americans Independence Center (OAIC) aims to develop research leaders through creation of a dedicated program of academic and research development for junior investigators in the field of geriatrics and palliative care. The ultimate goal of the REC is to provide a strong foundation in the fundamentals of research for older adults with ADRD and other serious illness to put these investigators on a path to obtaining external funding and ultimately become successful independent researchers. In this proposal we have outlined a detailed plan to recruit talented, junior investigators (faculty or research fellows) from different disciplines and provide them advanced training in research methodology, a plan for individualized career development, a relationship with an experienced mentoring team, and funds to support an original research project focused on older adults with ADRD or other serious illness. Candidates for this core include those junior investigators who are immediately out of training and are starting a research path or are career switching from a predominately clinical career track to research (very early investigators); those investigators in the “pre-K” stage who are preparing for or are in the process of submitting an NIH or foundation career development award; and those individuals who are transitioning off a career development award and need additional support as they apply for an R01 grant or equivalent mechanisms (“K to R”). The curriculum for the REC scholars consists of two core elements, designed to leverage OAIC and institutional resources while avoiding having to duplicate coursework: 1) a core curriculum in research design, methods and statistics currently offered by the Graduate School at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai (ISMMS) and 2) curriculum addressing research elements related to geriatrics and palliative care led by OAIC faculty including new initiatives and collaborations for training in dementia-focused research. Training and weekly mentoring will occur in a variety of venues and will include clear roles and responsibilities for REC scholars and mentors alike. We have incorporated the use of individualized development plans and project tracking grids that infuse a spirit of accountability and provide a structure for monitoring progress. Regular and rigorous evaluation of the scholars as well as the program is in place. Oversight assures that the core’s co-leaders interact on a regular basis with our OAIC’s Leadership and Administrative Core and the Executive Committee to assure that the REC is successful. In addition we have created a REC Advisory Committee that will work with the REC leaders to assure that the core operates smoothly and efficiently to create a group of well-supported junior investigators dedicated to improving the care of older adults with ADRD and other serious illness and their families.

项目摘要/摘要研究教育部分(REC) 迫切需要培训初级调查人员，以开展高质量的研究，重点关注患有阿尔茨海默病和相关痴呆症(ADRD)和其他严重疾病的老年人及其家人的需求。本提案针对我们的老年美国人独立中心(OAIC)的研究教育部分(REC)计划，旨在通过为老年医学和姑息治疗领域的初级研究人员创建专门的学术和研究发展计划来培养研究领导者。REC的最终目标是为患有ADRD和其他严重疾病的老年人提供坚实的研究基础，使这些研究人员走上获得外部资金的道路，并最终成为成功的独立研究人员。在这份提案中，我们概述了从不同学科招聘有才华的初级研究人员(教员或研究员)的详细计划，并为他们提供研究方法方面的高级培训，个性化职业发展计划，与经验丰富的指导团队的关系，以及支持专注于患有ADRD或其他严重疾病的老年人的原始研究项目的资金。这一核心的候选人包括那些立即结束培训并开始研究道路或职业生涯正在从以临床为主的职业轨迹转向研究(非常早期的研究人员)的初级研究人员；那些正在准备或正在提交NIH或基金会职业发展奖的处于“K前”阶段的研究人员；以及那些即将退出职业发展奖并在申请R01拨款或同等机制时需要额外支持的个人(“K到R”)。REC学者的课程包括两个核心要素，旨在利用OAIC和机构资源，同时避免重复课程：1)研究设计、方法和统计方面的核心课程，目前由西奈山伊坎医学院(ISMMS)研究生院提供；2)由OAIC教员领导的与老年病和姑息治疗相关的研究要素课程，包括针对痴呆症研究培训的新举措和合作。培训和每周指导将在不同的场所进行，并将包括明确的REC学者和导师的角色和责任。我们采用了个性化发展计划和项目跟踪网格，注入了问责精神，并提供了监测进展情况的结构。定期和严格的学者评估以及计划到位。监督确保核心的共同领导人定期与OAIC的领导和行政核心以及执行委员会互动，以确保区域执行委员会的成功。此外，我们还创建了一个区域经济合作咨询委员会，该委员会将与区域经济合作委员会领导人合作，确保该中心顺利有效地运作，创建一组得到充分支持的初级调查人员，致力于改善对患有ADRD和其他严重疾病的老年人及其家人的护理。
