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）：马里兰大学学院公园分校 (UMCP) 运动机能学运动生物学和衰老项目拥有培养训练有素的博士的历史，这些博士完成了博士后培训并成为富有成效的学术教员。该项目为研究员提供培训，为他们进行高质量的论文研究做好准备，这些研究涉及 1) 运动生物学（运动、心血管 (CV)、肌肉骨骼和代谢生理学和遗传学）和衰老方面的临床和基础实验室研究，以研究 CV 疾病、跌倒和老年人身体功能障碍的危险因素，2) 运动干预对肌肉骨骼、代谢和衰老的影响。 老年人的心血管功能，以及 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) 衰老方面的基础知识，2) 运动、心血管、肌肉骨骼和代谢生理学方面的具体知识，3) 遗传学、生物化学、细胞生物学和其他生命科学课程，以及 4) 生物统计学和研究设计。培训项目教师的研究涉及与密歇根大学医学院 (UMSM) 老年学、肾病学、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。学员将在来自 UMSM、NIAGRC 和 Pitt-GSPH 的 UMCP 初级导师以及二级和副导师的指导下获得实验室和临床研究经验。课程作业和实验室经验为每个研究员的论文研究提供了基础。我们以前的博士生已在临床、老年学和生理学期刊上发表了大量论文，所有研究员都继续接受 NIH 博士后培训并担任教职。我们建议在 4 年里支持 5-6 名研究员，以提供最佳的培训体验。这种培训显然会培养出具有运动生物学和衰老综合知识的博士学位，他们将完成博士后奖学金并成为学术教员。
