PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT This proposal for a Midcareer Investigator Award in Patient-Oriented Research (K24) will support the research program of Dr. Manjula Kurella Tamura, a nephrologist at Stanford University and Director of the Veterans Affairs Palo Alto Geriatric Research and Education Clinical Center. The candidate leads a multi-disciplinary research program which is focused on patient-centered outcomes of dialysis treatment in older adults. Her research program, comprised of a health services component and an interventions component, has been supported by five federally funded awards during the past five years, and has produced an extensive portfolio of work to support hypothesis driven mentee research. During this time, the candidate’s research program has provided training opportunities for 13 junior investigators who have successfully obtained funding, published research in high-impact journals, and transitioned into academic positions. In this K24 application, her overarching goal is to grow and sustain this program by: (1) enhancing her skills as a research mentor by obtaining training in key areas, and (2) using her research as a platform to mentor trainees from a range of disciplines, and (3) extending her research to evaluate treatment trade-offs earlier in the course of kidney disease. Recent clinical trials demonstrate that intensive versus standard blood pressure targets reduce mortality and cardiovascular events, but at the expense of kidney function. The scientific goal of this application is to evaluate the comparative harms and benefits of intensive versus standard hypertension treatment and hypertension deprescribing on kidney end-points in two real world older adult cohorts. The secondary goal is to demonstrate the application of novel analytical approaches that extend causal effects from randomized trials to older and sicker populations. The candidate’s mentoring program will integrate resources from the breadth of training programs at Stanford and VA Palo Alto, with unique opportunities tailored to the career development of scientists in aging research.

项目总结/摘要 这项关于以患者为导向的研究（K24）的中期职业研究者奖的提案将 支持斯坦福大学肾病学家Manjula Kurella Tamura博士的研究项目 大学和退伍军人事务部主任帕洛阿尔托老年研究和教育 临床中心。候选人领导一个多学科的研究计划，重点是 以患者为中心的老年人透析治疗结局。她的研究项目， 包括保健服务部分和干预部分， 在过去的五年里，该项目得到了五个联邦资助奖项的支持， 广泛的工作组合，以支持假设驱动的学员研究。这段时间 候选人的研究计划为13名初级研究人员提供了培训机会， 成功获得资助，在高影响力期刊上发表研究，并过渡到 进入学术岗位。在这个K24应用程序中，她的首要目标是发展和维持 方案通过：（1）通过获得关键领域的培训来提高她作为研究导师的技能， 以及（2）利用她的研究作为指导来自一系列学科的学员的平台，以及（3） 将她的研究扩展到评估肾脏疾病病程早期的治疗权衡。 最近的临床试验表明，强化与标准血压目标相比， 死亡率和心血管事件，但以牺牲肾功能为代价。的科学目标 本申请旨在评价强化与标准的比较危害和益处 两个真实的世界中高血压治疗和高血压处方对肾脏终点影响 老年人群体。第二个目标是展示新的分析方法的应用。 将因果效应从随机试验扩展到老年人和病情较重的人群的方法。 候选人的辅导计划将整合资源，从培训的广度 课程在斯坦福大学和弗吉尼亚州帕洛阿尔托，与独特的机会量身定制的职业生涯 科学家在老龄化研究方面的发展。
