The University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey-School of Osteopathic Medicine (UMDNJ-SOM) has developed a geriatrics program that is recognized across the state for its clinical excellence and across the country for its educational leadershop as both a HRSA funded Geriatric Education Center and geriatric fellowship training program. This proposal reflects the candidate's commitment to develop an aging research program to complement these achievements. His long term goals are: to build a quality research program in aging at UMDNJ-SOM centering on the theme of Successful Aging; the establish UMDNJ-SOM as a nationally recognized program in geriatrics and the premiere osteopathic medical school in aging; and to cultivate the next generation of academic faculty for osteopathic medical schools who may become the future leaders in aging research within the osteopathic profession. The program's focus on Successful Aging reflects the osteopathic philosophy of healthy promotion and disease prevention and institutional strengths in nutrition, exercise and mobility, end-of-life issues, and women's health. As a result, this plan will: (1) offer selected junior faculty the opportunity for mentorship by recognized leaders in aging research so that they may develop into independent researchers, (2) encourage aging research among clinical and basic science postdoctoral fellows and faculty through a competitive funding program to support projects in aging research, (3) expand opportunities for medical students and basic science graduate students to increase their level of participation in aging research through a student scholar's program and (4) stimulate interest in aging research among clinical and basic science faculty and postdoctoral students through a seminar series and symposia on the latest issues and trends in aging research. Eight NIH/NIA funded researchers from three UMDNJ schools, the Philadelphia Geriatric Center, and Allegheny University of the Health Sciences/ Medical College of Pennsylvania with research programs in nutrition, exercise and mobility, end-of-life issues, and women's health will support this effort as mentors, lectures, and Advisory Board members.

新泽西医学和牙科大学骨科医学院（UMDNJ-SOM）开发了一个老年病项目，该项目因其卓越的临床表现和全国范围内的教育领导而得到认可，该项目既是HRSA资助的老年病教育中心，也是老年病奖学金培训项目。该提案反映了候选人致力于发展一个老龄化研究项目，以补充这些成就。他的长期目标是：在UMDNJ-SOM建立一个以成功老龄化为主题的高质量的老龄化研究项目；建立UMDNJ-SOM作为全国公认的老年病学项目和首屈一指的老龄化骨科医学院；并为骨科医学院培养下一代学术教师，他们可能成为骨科专业中老龄化研究的未来领导者。该方案以“成功老龄化”为重点，反映了促进健康和预防疾病的整骨疗法理念，以及在营养、运动和活动、临终问题和妇女健康方面的机构优势。因此，该计划将：(1)为选定的青年教师提供机会，接受公认的老龄研究领域领导者的指导，使他们有机会发展成为独立的研究人员；(2)通过竞争性资助计划，鼓励临床和基础科学博士后和教师进行老龄研究，以支持老龄研究项目；(3)通过学生学者计划，扩大医学生和基础科学研究生参与老龄化研究的机会；(4)通过一系列关于老龄化研究最新问题和趋势的研讨会和专题讨论会，激发临床和基础科学教师和博士后对老龄化研究的兴趣。八名NIH/NIA资助的研究人员来自UMDNJ的三所学校、费城老年医学中心和阿勒格尼健康科学大学/宾夕法尼亚医学院，他们的研究项目涉及营养、运动和活动、临终问题和妇女健康，他们将作为导师、讲座和咨询委员会成员支持这项工作。
