DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This proposal requests a "Complementary Training Award for Research on Aging" to support pre-doctoral students enrolled in a Gerontology and Long-Term Care Track leading to a Ph.D. degree in Health Policy and Management. The proposed Training Grant will complement an existing "Training in Health Services Research" grant (T32, HS00029, PI: J. Weiner) from the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ). Capitalizing on the momentum of a strong, productive, 16-year old HSR training program, this new initiative will help to prepare the next generation of gerontologists who will seek new knowledge of health services that will be needed to meet the challenges of providing high-quality, cost-effective health care for the burgeoning population of older Americans. The specific aims are: 1. To help recruit diverse, highly qualified pre-doctoral students to the field of gerontologic health services research (GHSR), specifically, to the Gerontology and Long-Term Care Track of the HSR doctoral curriculum offered by the Department of Health Policy and Management (HPM) of the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. 2. To support matriculants into this Track throughout two years of interdisciplinary training in GHSR that prepares them to conduct creative and rigorous research designed to catalyze improvements in the quality and cost-effectiveness of our system of health care for older people. Students will acquire firm groundings in the scientific theory and methods of HSR as applied to the health care of older populations. They will study the epidemiology, demography, and biology of aging, as well as the continuum of health care that older people often experience. They will participate in regular seminars, national scientific meetings, clinical practicums, and intensely mentored research experiences. 3. To increase the number of graduates who earn the HPM Department's Ph.D. degree in HSR and the School's Certificate in Gerontology, then lead productive careers in GHSR that lead to improvements in the quality, costs and outcomes of care. This program will be conducted by 12 core and eight affiliated faculty members who have demonstrated outstanding sustained commitment, expertise, and productivity in education and research in GHSR.

描述（由申请人提供）：该提案要求“老龄化研究补充培训奖”，以支持在老年学和长期护理轨道就读的博士前学生，以获得博士学位。卫生政策和管理学位。拟议的培训补助金将补充现有的“卫生服务研究培训”补助金（T32，HS00029，PI：J. Weiner），来自医疗保健研究和质量机构（AHRQ）。 利用一个强大的，富有成效的，16岁的HSR培训计划的势头，这一新的举措将有助于准备下一代老年学家谁将寻求新的卫生服务知识，将需要满足提供高质量的挑战，具有成本效益的医疗保健为美国老年人口的迅速增长。具体目标是： 1.为了帮助招募多样化，高素质的博士前学生到老年健康服务研究（GHSR）领域，特别是由卫生政策和管理（HPM）的约翰霍普金斯彭博公共卫生学院的部门提供的HSR博士课程的老年学和长期护理轨道。 2.为了支持在GHSR的跨学科培训，准备他们进行创造性和严谨的研究，旨在促进我们的医疗保健系统的质量和成本效益的改善，为老年人两年来进入这个轨道的学生。学生将获得坚实的基础，在科学理论和HSR的方法，适用于老年人口的医疗保健。他们将研究流行病学，人口统计学和老龄化的生物学，以及老年人经常经历的医疗保健的连续性。他们将参加定期研讨会，国家科学会议，临床实习和强烈指导的研究经验。 3.增加获得HPM部门博士学位的毕业生人数。在HSR学位和学校的证书在老年学，然后导致生产性的职业生涯在GHSR，导致护理的质量，成本和成果的改善。 该计划将由12名核心和8名附属教师进行，他们在GHSR的教育和研究中表现出杰出的持续承诺，专业知识和生产力。
