Core--Research development

研究发展核心的目的是发展和支持一个高质量的研究和培训方案，以提高和改善美国老年人的独立性。五个试点项目分析了与年龄相关的肌肉萎缩（肌肉减少症）的生理发展。他们作为一个多学科的研究和培训计划，旨在开发谁是深深致力于老年医学和老年学的学术生涯初级教师和博士后研究员的基础。区域发展委员会的具体目标是：1.为有前途的初级教师和博士后研究员的职业发展提供老年学和老年医学的结构化研究和教学培训计划。2.通过鼓励其他领域的研究人员将他们的努力转向老龄化研究，促进UTMB老龄化研究的增长（a）指导与OAIC相关的试点研究项目;（B）将老龄化问题纳入他们的研究计划，以及（c）协助OAIC开发跨学科的老龄化研究项目。通过在试点项目上与导师和实习研究人员合作，并通过与高级研究人员的互动，RDC提供了一个全面的培训计划，从基于动物模型的详细机制研究到临床干预。

The aim of the Research Development Core (RDC) is to develop and support a high quality research and training program for the enhancement and improvement of independence of older Americans. Five pilot projects analyze the physiological development of age-associated muscle atrophy (sarcopenia). They serve as the basis for a multi-disciplinary research and training program designed to develop junior faculty and post-doctoral fellows who are deeply committed to academic careers in geriatrics and gerontology. The specific aims of the RDC are to: 1. Provide a structured research and didactic training program in gerontology and geriatrics for career development of promising junior faculty and post-doctoral fellows. 2. Promote the growth of research on aging at UTMB by encouraging established investigators in other fields to turn their efforts to aging research by (a) mentoring pilot research projects relevant to OAIC; (b) incorporate aging issues in their research programs and (c) assisting in the development of interdisciplinary aging research projects to the OAIC. By teaming mentors and trainee investigators on pilot projects, and through interactions with senior investigators, the RDC offers a comprehensive training program that spans from detailed mechanistic studies based on animal models to clinical interventions.
