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.

这一竞争激烈的应用程序寻求支持继续高度 成功的克劳德·佩珀在哈佛老年美国人独立中心 医学院老年学部及其附属机构。这个 该中心的主要目标仍然是培养初级老年医生 成为具有有效研究、教学和临床能力的学术领袖 在传统上优秀的研究环境中的能力。这 基础和临床科室的研究人员共同努力 积极制定干预策略，以促进独立性 在老年美国人中，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 研究。在国家使命的核心领域的职业生涯 老龄问题研究所。 干预研究(S)建议解决与以下方面相关的问题 老年人用药情况分析。干预性发展研究 (IDS)旨在提高尿失禁的治疗效果。二 研究资源核(RRC)的提出是为了增强 干预研究、干预发展研究、正在进行的支持 研究和开发新项目，特别是初级项目 教职员工。研究的核心是：RRC A：科目招聘；RRC B： 基础科学与工程。研发核心(RDC)将 为初级教师提供教育和职业发展机会 和研究助理。15名经验丰富、资金雄厚的教职员工 科学家，其中许多是老牌的老年病学家研究人员，将 在以下七个方面担任初级教员的潜在导师：(1) 老年医学，(2)公共卫生流行病学，(3)心血管 肾脏，(4)内分泌学/新陈代谢，(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将提供 关于改善治疗措施的信息，并传播 对患者、护理提供者、学术机构的干预研究结果 教职员工和广大公众。建议的目的是 领导力/管理核心是继续维护环境 培养创新的、响应社会的、多学科的研究 以及将为美国老年人带来食欲独立的培训。 最终，我们的目标是开发更具体、更有效的治疗方法 将改善和延长独立性，同时减少 老年美国人的医疗保健费用。我们还将继续致力于 将初级教员培养成独立的科学研究人员 将基础研究成果应用于临床老年病问题。这可以 最好是在年长的美国独立中心内完成。
