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.

这个竞争性的应用程序寻求支持以继续高度 哈佛大学克劳德·佩珀美国老年人独立中心的成功 医学院老龄化部及其附属机构。 这 该中心的首要目标仍然是培养初级老年病学家 培养具有高效研究、教学和临床能力的学术领袖 传统上优秀的研究环境中的能力。 这 基础科室和临床科室研究者的共同努力 积极制定干预策略以促进独立 在美国老年人中，这是《健康人民 2000》的一个高度优先目标。 还擅长识别和培训优秀的临床医生 研究。 国家使命核心领域的职业生涯 老龄化研究所。 干预研究（S）建议解决与 老年人的药物使用情况。 干预发展研究 （IDS）旨在提高尿失禁的治疗效果。 二 研究资源核心（RRC）的提出是为了加强 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，特别是初级项目 学院。 研究核心为：RRC A：受试者招募；和RRC B： 基础科学与工程。 研究开发核心（RDC）将 为初级教师提供教育和职业发展机会 和研究助理。 十五名经验丰富、资金雄厚的教师 科学家们，其中许多人都是资深的老年医学研究人员，将 在七个领域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，以及（7）生物医学工程物理学。 一个 示范和信息传播项目（DIDP）将提供 有关改进治疗措施的信息并传播 对患者、护理人员、学术界的干预研究结果 教师和广大公众。 拟议的目标 领导/行政核心是持续维护环境 培育创新、社会响应、多学科研究 以及将为美国老年人带来更大独立性的培训。 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 我们年长的美国人的医疗保健费用。 我们也致力于继续 将初级教师培养成独立的科学研究者 将基础研究成果应用于临床老年问题。 这个可以 最好在美国老年人独立中心内完成。
