PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT CORE

该核心的主要目标是支持研究人员为人口老龄化方面的同行评审研究职业发展项目开发赠款申请。为了实现这一目标，DEAR中心将管理一个试点研究计划，支持开发解决中心主要研究主题的提案，具有足够的科学严谨性，以满足NIA同行评审过程的标准，并具有显著的原创性和承诺。试点研究计划将征求申请试点项目从迪尔附属教师和 其他教师尚未与亲爱的中心。申请将由DEAR咨询委员会根据科学价值、原创性、与DEAR中心主题的一致性以及成功申请外部资助的可能性等标准进行审查。DEAR中心还将在DEAR研讨会的每月例会上提供一个论坛，研究人员可以在论坛上提出他们的研究想法并听取意见。DEAR中心主任和副主任也将进行一对一的讨论，以帮助调查人员制定提案。 这一核心的第二个目标是为发展老龄人口学和老龄经济学方面的教员专门知识提供薪金支助，以增加联合国大学-CH老龄问题科学专门知识的临界质量。或为UNC-CH现有教师提供支持，这些教师寻求进入人口老龄化领域，并有望在该领域开发一个重要的新研究项目。CPC和IoA主任以及相关部门的主席将被告知用于这些目的的资金的可用性，并将被鼓励将合适的候选人提请DEAR中心主任注意。

The main objective of this core is to support researchers in developing grant applications for peer-reviewed research career development projects in population aging. To accomplish this, the DEAR Center will administer a pilot udies program that supports development of proposals that address the Center's primary research themes, have sufficient scientific rigor to meet the standards of the NIA peer-review process, and have significant originality and promise. The pilot studies program will solicit applications for pilot projects from DEAR-affiliated faculty and from other faculty not yet associated with the DEAR Center. Applications will be reviewed by the DEAR advisory committee based on the criteria of scientific merit, originality, consistency with the themes of the DEAR Center, and likelihood of development of a successful application for external funding. The DEAR Center will also provide a forum in the regular monthly meetings of the DEAR seminar, in which investigators can present their research ideas and receive comments. The DEAR Center director and associate director will also be available for one-on-one discussions to help investigators with proposal development. A second objective of this core is to provide salary support for the development of faculty expertise in the demography and economics of aging for the purpose of increasing the critical mass of scientific expertise on aging at UNC-CH. This support could take the form of assistance to departments in efforts to recruit faculty with population aging research interests, or support for faculty already present at UNC-CH who seek to move into the population-aging field and show promise for developing a significant new research program in the field. The CPC and IoA directors and the chairs of relevant departments will be informed of the availability of funds for these purposes, and will be encouraged to bring suitable candidates to the attention of the DEAR Center directors.
