DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application proposes use of the NIA mid-career award in patient-oriented research to create and sustain a mentoring program for aspiring aging researchers at the Weill Medical College of Cornell University led by Dr. Mark Lachs. Dr. Lachs is a geriatrician and clinical epidemiologist with expertise in the areas of elder mistreatment, protective services, and functional status. He is also Directs the Cornell Center for Aging Research and Clinical Care (CCARCC), an institution wide entity seeded by an NIA Academic Leadership Award and formalized by the Dean in 2000. CCARCC's infrastructure will assist in identifying mentored trainees, provide additional resources to them (e.g., through its pilot grant program), and formally evaluate Dr. Lachs' K24 program through an external advisory committee led by Dr. William Hazzard. Two new patient-oriented research projects are proposed in the area of elder self-neglect (ESN). The specific aims of these are: (1) to estimate the contribution of executive dysfunction to self-care behaviors that may precede ESN, and (2) to determine if alcohol consumption is an risk factor for ESN. These studies hypothesize that ESN is a continuum of progressively more egregious low self-care states. ESN as chosen as a content area because (a) it is a multi-factorial syndrome likely to attract trainees with interests from diverse fields (e.g., geriatric medicine and psychiatry, neuropsychology, nutrition, alcohol, and medicalethics), (b) it is prevalent but studied despite substantial mortality and indignity, and (c) Cornell has an unusual depth of expertise (and potential mentees) in geriatric psychiatry in the form of the Cornell Geriatric Psychiatry Institute headed by George Alexopoulos. Preliminary data on depression and ESN are provided. Strengths of the candidate include his formal training in research methodology as an RWJ Clinical Scholar at Yale, his history of academic productivity and continuous NIH funding including an active RO1 in the area of crime and health in older people, and an early track record of mentoring junior trainees at all levels. Strengths of the institution include the resources of CCARCC, several aging related Centers at Cornell from which to garner potential mentees, the availability of divisional resources to "protect" promising trainees in the critical period between fellowship and initial extramural funding, and a divisional co-chief structure that can insulate the candidate from undue administrative and clinical burdens should this application be successful.

描述（由申请人提供）：本申请提议在以患者为导向的研究中使用NIA中级职业奖，以在康奈尔大学威尔医学院的Mark Lachs博士领导的Weill医学院为有抱负的老龄化研究人员创建和维持一项指导计划。 Lachs博士是一位老年医生和临床流行病学家，在老年人虐待，保护服务和功能状况方面具有专业知识。他还指导康奈尔大学衰老研究与临床护理中心（CCARCC），该机构由NIA学术领导奖颁发，由Dean在2000年正式化。CCARCC的基础架构将有助于确定受训的受训者，为他们提供其他资源（例如，通过其PILOT GRANT计划）通过Formial Indor Infor Inform Inform an an k24 k24 k24 An An An an An An。在老年人自我批准（ESN）领域提出了两个新的面向患者的研究项目。这些的具体目的是：（1）估计行政功能障碍对可能在ESN之前的自我保健行为的贡献，以及（2）确定饮酒是否是ESN的危险因素。这些研究假设ESN是逐渐令人震惊的低自我保健状态的连续体。 ESN被选为内容领域，因为（a）它是一种多因素综合征，可能会吸引有多种领域（例如，老年医学和精神病学，神经心理学，营养，酒精和医学伦理学）的兴趣的受训者（例如，（b），但还是普遍，但仍在研究中具有实质性的死亡率和（c）康奈尔（Cornell）和（c），但cornell和（c）cornell均具有不可思议的（c）cornell and（C）老年精神病学以乔治·亚历山大（George Alexopoulos）领导的康奈尔老年精神病学研究所的形式。提供了有关抑郁症和ESN的初步数据。候选人的优势包括他在耶鲁大学担任RWJ临床学者的正式研究方法，他的学术生产力和连续NIH资金的历史，包括老年人的犯罪和健康领域的活跃RO1，以及各级指导初级学员的早期往绩。该机构的优势包括CCARCC的资源，康奈尔州的几个相关中心，从中获得潜在的受训者，在奖学金和最初的校外资金之间的关键时期，可以提供分区资源来“保护”有希望的受训者，以及可以使候选人从不受欢迎的行政管理和临床局施用的候选人中脱离候选人。
