DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The University of Maryland College Park (UMCP) Department of Kinesiology exercise biology and aging program has a history of producing well-trained PhDs who complete postdoctoral training and become productive academic faculty members. The program provides fellows with the training to prepare them for high quality dissertation research addressing 1) clinical and basic laboratory investigations in exercise biology (exercise, cardiovascular (CV), musculoskeletal, and metabolic physiology and genetics) and aging to study the risk factors for CV disease, falls, and physical dysfunction in the elderly, 2) the effects of exercise interventions on musculoskeletal, metabolic, and CV function in older persons, and 3) the effects of common genetic variations on the responses of older persons to exercise training. The program's curriculum provides; 1) basic knowledge in aging, 2) specific knowledge in exercise, CV, musculoskeletal, and metabolic physiology, 3) courses in genetics, biochemistry, cell biology, and other life sciences, and 4) biostatistics and research design. The research of the Training Program faculty involves longstanding collaborations with the UM School of Medicine (UMSM) Divisions of Gerontology, Nephrology, and Endocrinology, Diabetes, and Nutrition, University of Pittsburgh Graduate School of Public Health (Pitt-GSPH), and NIA-Gerontology Research Center (NIA-GRC). Trainees receive laboratory and clinical research experience with UMCP Primary Mentors and Secondary and Associate Mentors from UMSM, NIAGRC, and Pitt-GSPH. Coursework and laboratory experiences provide the basis for each fellow's dissertation research. Our previous PhD trainees have published numerous papers in clinical, gerontology, and physiology journals, and all fellows have gone on to NIH postdoctoral training and faculty positions. We propose to support 5-6 fellows for 4 yrs to provide an optimal training experience. Such training clearly produces PhDs with an integrated knowledge of exercise biology and aging that will complete postdoctoral fellowships and become academic faculty members.

描述（由申请人提供）：马里兰大学帕克分校（UMCP）运动机能系，运动生物学和衰老项目有着培养训练有素的博士的历史，他们完成博士后培训并成为富有成效的学术教职员工。该项目为研究员提供培训，为他们准备高质量的论文研究：1)运动生物学（运动、心血管（CV）、肌肉骨骼、代谢生理学和遗传学）和衰老的临床和基础实验室调查，研究老年人心血管疾病、跌倒和身体功能障碍的危险因素；2)运动干预对老年人肌肉骨骼、代谢和心血管功能的影响；3)常见遗传变异对老年人运动训练反应的影响。该计划的课程提供；1)老年学的基础知识，2)运动、心血管、肌肉骨骼、代谢生理学的专业知识，3)遗传学、生物化学、细胞生物学等生命科学课程，4)生物统计学和研究设计。培训计划教师的研究涉及与UM医学院（UMSM）老年学，肾脏病学，内分泌学，糖尿病和营养学部门，匹兹堡大学公共卫生研究生院（Pitt-GSPH）和nia -老年学研究中心（NIA-GRC）的长期合作。受训者将获得UMCP主要导师和来自UMSM， NIAGRC和Pitt-GSPH的二级和副导师的实验室和临床研究经验。课程作业和实验室经验为每位研究员的论文研究提供了基础。我们以前的博士学员在临床，老年学和生理学期刊上发表了大量论文，所有研究员都去了NIH博士后培训和教职。我们建议支持5-6名研究员，为期4年，以提供最佳的培训体验。这样的训练显然会培养出具有运动生物学和衰老综合知识的博士，他们将完成博士后研究并成为学术教员。
