DESCRIPTION (from application): The overall aim of this project is to strengthen PU research and training on aging and life course inequality. While the University has a long history of research and instruction in gerontology, it has only recently developed an institutional structure to support interdisciplinary inquiry on aging for faculty and graduate students. This project is designed to build upon the recent institutional development by focusing research on life course analysis, especially inequality and cumulative disadvantage across the life course. This application is designed to enhance social and behavioral expertise on aging along two developmental loci. The first is to provide research development opportunities for faculty in the social and behavioral sciences. The second focus is graduate education. The project seeks to strengthen interdisciplinary initiatives in gerontology related to the professional and methodological training of graduate students. Specific aims of this project include: (1) To stimulate research on life course inequality by PU faculty and graduate students; (2) to enhance graduate education in social gerontology by further integrating theories and methods for the study of the life course; (3) to provide opportunities for faculty to participate in an interdisciplinary research program on life course inequality; and (4) to contribute to the scientific understanding of the antecedents and consequences of inequality across the life course. Specific mechanisms to achieve the research and training initiatives include the: formation of research clusters, pilot grant program, scientific advisory board review, symposium series, participation in summer intensive courses, minority student recruitment, and interdisciplinary educational opportunities for graduate students. The success of the program will be measured by multiple performance indicators such as refereed journal articles, extramural research funding, curriculum development, interdisciplinary doctoral committees, and placement of graduate students.

描述（来自应用程序）：该项目的总体目的是 加强对衰老和生活课程不平等的PU研究和培训。 虽然大学有悠久的研究和教学历史 老年医学，它直到最近才开发出一种机构结构 支持有关教师和研究生衰老的跨学科研究。 该项目旨在建立在最近的机构发展的基础上 将研究重点放在生活课程分析上，尤其是不平等和 整个生活过程中的累积劣势。 该应用程序旨在增强社会和行为专业知识 沿两个发展基因座老化。 首先是提供研究 社会和行为科学中教师的发展机会。 第二个重点是研究生教育。 该项目旨在加强 与专业人士有关的老年学跨学科倡议 研究生的方法学培训。 该项目的具体目的包括：（1）刺激生活研究 PU教师和研究生的课程不平等； （2）增强毕业生 通过进一步整合理论和方法的社会老年医学教育 为了研究生活课程； （3）为教师提供机会 参加生命课程跨学科研究计划 不等式; （4）有助于科学理解 整个生活过程中不平等的前提和后果。 实现研究和培训计划的具体机制包括 ：研究集群的形成，试点赠款计划，科学咨询 董事会评论，研讨会系列，参加夏季密集课程， 少数族裔学生招聘和跨学科教育机会 对于研究生。 该程序的成功将由 多重性能指标，例如被裁量期刊文章，外壁外文章 研究资金，课程发展，跨学科博士 委员会和研究生的安置。
