DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The proposed program has been designed to increase the national capacity for conducting high quality aging research in social work, thereby enhancing the health status of older adults. Thirty junior and mid-career faculty from bachelor's and master's programs in social work will receive advanced training with the goal of enhancing their ability to develop an active research agenda and integrating teaching and research on aging in their curriculum. We are committed to attracting and retaining a critical mass of women, minorities, and disabled faculty members. Program objectives include: (1) to increase social work faculty's knowledge, skills, and motivation for pursuing an active program of aging research. (2) To provide participants an opportunity to interact intensively with senior investigators and to promote the development of networking relationships among them. (3) To increase participants' awareness of NIA support available for conducting social work research in aging. (4) To increase the number of strong grant applications that social work faculty submit to the National Institute on Aging. The program will be promoted through a collaborative liaison with the Society for Social Work Research, Council for Social Work Education, and Gerontological Society of America. Program design includes an initial institute, ongoing consultation during the intervening year, a mid-year meeting, and a follow-up institute. Topics include Research Design, Measurement, and Analysis (Aloen Townsend), Evaluation of Interventions (Susan Hughes), Elder Mistreatment (Gregory Paveza), Caregiving and Disabilities (Marsha Seltzer), Ethnicity and Aging (Peggye Dilworth-Anderson), Preparing Grant Applications (Chandra Mehrotra), and NIA Support Available for Aging Research (NIA staff). A systematic evaluation will be conducted to monitor implementation of proposed activities and to determine their effectiveness in achieving the intended outcomes. The co-directors and the participants will disseminate their NIA-supported activities via conference presentations, publications, and Web sites.

该计划旨在提高国家在社会工作中进行高质量老龄化研究的能力，从而提高老年人的健康状况。来自社会工作学士和硕士课程的30名初级和中级教师将接受高级培训，目标是提高他们制定积极研究议程的能力，并将教学和研究融入他们的课程。我们致力于吸引和留住女性，少数民族和残疾人教师的临界质量。计划目标包括：（1）增加社会工作教师的知识，技能和动力，追求积极的老龄化研究计划。(2)使学员有机会与高级调查员密切互动，并促进他们之间建立网络关系。(3)提高参与者对NIA支持的认识，以进行老龄化社会工作研究。(4)增加社会工作学院向国家老龄问题研究所提交的强有力的赠款申请的数量。该计划将通过与社会工作研究协会，社会工作教育理事会和美国老年学协会的合作联络来促进。方案设计包括一个初始研究所、在中间一年期间进行的磋商、年中会议和后续研究所。主题包括研究设计，测量和分析（Aloen汤森），干预措施的评估（苏珊休斯），老年人虐待（格雷戈里帕维扎），照顾和残疾（玛莎萨尔茨），种族和老龄化（佩吉迪尔-安德森），准备拨款申请（钱德拉Mehrotra），和NIA支持可用于老龄化研究（NIA工作人员）。将进行系统评价，以监测拟议活动的执行情况，并确定这些活动在实现预期成果方面的有效性。共同主任和与会者将通过会议介绍、出版物和网站传播其国家情报局支持的活动。
