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.

新泽西医学和牙科大学-骨科医学院(UMDNJ-SOM)开发了一项老年病学计划，该计划因其卓越的临床表现而在全州范围内获得认可，并因其作为HRSA资助的老年教育中心和老年奖学金培训计划而在全国范围内获得认可。这项提议反映了候选人致力于发展一项老龄化研究计划，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高质量的老龄研究项目；建立UMDNJ-SOM作为国家认可的老年医学项目和一流的老年骨科医学院；培养下一代骨科医学院的学术师资，他们可能成为骨科行业老龄研究的未来领导者。该计划的重点是成功老龄化，反映了促进健康和预防疾病的骨科哲学，以及在营养、运动和活动能力、临终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机会，由公认的老龄研究领导者指导，使他们能够发展为独立研究人员；(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职员工开展老龄研究；(3)通过学生奖学金计划，扩大医学生和基础科学研究生参与老龄研究的机会；(4)通过举办一系列研讨会和研讨会，就老龄研究的最新问题和趋势，激发临床和基础科学教职员工和博士后对老龄研究的兴趣。来自三所UMDNJ学校、费城老年中心和阿勒格尼健康科学大学/宾夕法尼亚医学院的八名NIH/NIA资助的研究人员将作为导师、讲座和咨询委员会成员支持这一努力，他们的研究项目涉及营养、运动和流动性、临终问题和妇女健康。
