PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT CORE

这一核心的主要目标是支持研究人员为经同行审查的人口老龄化研究职业发展项目开发赠款申请。为了实现这一目标，亲爱的中心将管理一项试点研究计划，该计划支持制定针对中心主要研究主题的建议，具有足够的科学严谨性，以满足NIA同行审查过程的标准，并具有重大的原创性和前景。试点研究计划将向Dear附属教职员工和 其他尚未与亲爱的中心联系在一起的教员。申请将由亲爱的咨询委员会根据科学价值、原创性、与亲爱的中心主题的一致性以及成功申请外部资金的可能性等标准进行审查。亲爱的中心还将在研讨会的每月例会上提供一个论坛，研究人员可以在会上展示他们的研究想法并接受评论。亲爱的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人口统计学和老龄化经济学方面的教师专门知识提供工资支持，目的是增加北卡罗来纳大学-CH分校关于老龄问题的关键科学专门知识。这种支持可以采取的形式是帮助各部门努力招聘具有人口老龄化研究兴趣的教员，或者支持那些已经在北卡罗来纳大学-CH分校工作的教员，他们寻求进入人口老龄化领域，并显示出在该领域开发重大新研究计划的希望。将通知CPC和IOA主任以及相关部门的主席可用于这些目的的资金，并将鼓励他们将合适的候选人提请亲爱的中心主任注意。

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.
