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.

医学和骨科医学的新泽西牙科大学（UMDNJ-SOM）已经开发了一个老年医学计划，该计划因其临床卓越而在全州范围内得到认可，并在全国范围内为其教育leadershop作为HRSA资助的老年教育中心和老年奖学金培训计划。这一建议反映了候选人的承诺，发展老龄化研究计划，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老龄化质量研究计划;建立UMDNJ-SOM作为国家认可的老年医学计划和老龄化方面的首选骨科医学院;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。 该计划对成功老龄化的关注反映了健康促进和疾病预防的骨科哲学以及营养，运动和流动性，生命终结问题和妇女健康方面的机构优势。因此，该计划将：（1）为选定的初级教师提供由老龄化研究领域公认的领导者指导的机会，使他们能够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研究员和教师进行老龄化研究，以支持老龄化研究项目，（3）通过学生学者计划，为医学生和基础科学研究生提供更多机会，提高他们参与老龄化研究的水平;（4）通过举办系列研讨会和专题讨论会，探讨老龄化研究的最新问题和趋势，激发临床和基础科学教师和博士后学生对老龄化研究的兴趣。来自三所UMDNJ学校，费城老年中心和宾夕法尼亚州阿勒格尼健康科学大学/医学院的八名NIH/NIA资助的研究人员在营养，运动和流动性，临终问题和妇女健康方面的研究计划将作为导师，讲座和咨询委员会成员支持这一努力。
