This competitive application seeks support for the continuation of a highly successful Claude Pepper Older Americans Independence Center at Harvard Medical School's Division on Aging and its affiliated institutions. The primary goal of the Center continues to be to develop junior geriatricians into academic leaders with effective research, teaching, and clinical capabilities within a traditionally excellent research environment. This joint effort involving investigators in basic and clinical departments has been actively developing interventional strategies to promote independence in older Americans, a high priority objective of Healthy People 2000. It has also excelled in identifying and training outstanding clinicians for research. Careers in areas central to the mission of the National Institute on Aging. The Intervention Study (S) proposes to address problems associated with medication utilization in the elderly. The Intervention Development Study (IDS) aims to improve treatment efficacy for urinary incontinence. Two research resource cores (RRCs) are proposed for the enhancement of the intervention Study, the Intervention Development Study, support of ongoing research, and the development of new projects, especially those of junior faculty. The research cores are: RRC A: Subject recruitment; and RRC B: Basic Science and Engineering. A Research Development Core (RDC) will provide educational and career development opportunities for junior faculty and research associates. Fifteen experienced, well-funded faculty scientists, many of whom are established geriatrician investigators, will serve as potential mentors for junior faculty in seven areas: (1) geriatric medicine, (2) public health epidemiology, (3) cardiovascular renal, (4) endocrinology/metabolism, (5) neurosciences, (6) genetics cell/molecular biology, and (7) biomedical engineering physics. A Demonstration and Information Dissemination Project (DIDP) will provide information regarding improved treatment measures and disseminate the results of the intervention research to patients, care providers, academic faculty, and the public at large. The aim of the proposed Leadership/Administrative Core is to continue to maintain an environment that nurtures innovative, socially responsive, multidisciplinary research and training that will result in gr eater independence for older Americans. Ultimately we aim to develop more specific, more effective treatment that will improve and lengthen independence while at the same time decrease health care costs for our older Americans. We also aim to continue to develop junior faculty into independent scientific investigators who can apply basic research findings to clinical geriatric problems. This can best be accomplished within an Older Americans Independence Center.

此竞争性应用程序寻求支持，以继续高度 哈佛的克劳德·佩珀老年美国人独立中心 医学院老龄化部及其附属机构。 的 该中心的主要目标仍然是培养初级老年病医生 成为具有有效研究，教学和临床的学术领导者 在传统的优秀研究环境中的能力。 这 基础部门和临床部门的研究人员共同努力， 积极制定促进独立的干预战略， 这是2000年健康人的一个高度优先目标。 它 在识别和培训优秀的临床医生方面也表现出色， research. 在国家教育部使命核心领域的职业 老龄化研究所。 干预研究（S）建议解决与以下方面有关的问题： 老年人的药物使用。 干预发展研究 (IDS)旨在提高尿失禁的治疗效果。 两 研究资源核心（RRC）被提议用于增强 干预研究，干预发展研究，支持正在进行的 研究和新项目的开发，特别是那些初级 教师。 研究核心为：RRC A：受试者招募; RRC B： 基础科学与工程 研发中心（RDC）将 为初级教师提供教育和职业发展机会 和研究助理 15名经验丰富、资金充足的教师 科学家们，其中许多人是老年医学研究者，将 在以下七个方面担任初级教师的潜在导师：（1） 老年医学，（2）公共卫生流行病学，（3）心血管 肾脏，（4）内分泌/代谢，（5）神经科学，（6）遗传学 细胞/分子生物学;（7）生物医学工程物理学。 一 示范和信息传播项目将提供 关于改进治疗措施的信息，并传播 干预研究的结果，病人，护理提供者，学术 教师和广大公众。 建议的目的 领导/管理核心是继续保持一个环境 培养创新的，社会响应的，多学科的研究 和培训，这将导致更大的独立性，为老年美国人。 最终，我们的目标是开发更具体，更有效的治疗方法， 将提高和延长独立性，同时减少 为美国老年人支付医疗费用。 我们还打算继续 将初级教师培养成独立的科学研究者， 将基本研究成果应用于临床老年问题。 这可以 最好是在美国老年人独立中心完成。
