DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The requested competing supplement will help expand the pool of social work faculty engaged in aging research. The proposed funding will allow a new cohort of fifteen junior and mid-career faculty from bachelor's and master's programs in social work to receive advanced training at a July 2006 summer institute, with the goal of enhancing their ability to develop an active research agenda and integrating teaching and research on aging in their curriculum. All follow-up activities (ongoing consultation, mid-year meeting, and follow-up institute) will be supported by another funding source. Specific aims of the overall project 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 research in aging. (4) To increase the number of strong grant applications participants 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. To date forty percent of participants have been from diverse ethnic and racial backgrounds or have had disabilities; we remain committed to attracting and retaining a critical mass of women, minorities, and disabled faculty members. Institute topics include: Research Design, Measurement, and Analysis (Aloen Townsend), Evaluation of Interventions (Susan Hughes), Caregiving and Disabilities (Marsha Seltzer), Ethnicity and Aging (Keith Whitfield), Preparing Grant Applications (Chandra Mehrotra), and NIA Support Available for Aging Research (NIA staff). Program 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. Special attention will be given to sharing research findings and their implications with health and social service professionals who work with older adults and their families. This, in turn, will enhance the health status of older adults, especially those from populations underserved in the past.

描述（由申请人提供）： 所要求的竞争性补充将有助于扩大从事老龄化研究的社会工作教师的人数。拟议的资金将允许一个新的队列15初级和中级职业教师从学士学位和硕士学位的社会工作课程，接受高级培训，2006年7月的暑期学院，与提高他们的能力，制定一个积极的研究议程和整合教学和研究在他们的课程老化的目标。所有后续活动（正在进行的磋商、年中会议和后续研究所）将由另一个供资来源提供支助。整个计画的具体目标包括：（1）增进社会工作系教师从事老化研究的知识、技能与动机。(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，以进行老龄化研究。(4)增加参与者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。到目前为止，百分之四十的参与者来自不同的民族和种族背景或有残疾;我们仍然致力于吸引和留住妇女，少数民族和残疾教职员工的临界质量。研究所的课题包括：研究设计，测量和分析（Aloen汤森），干预措施的评价（苏珊休斯），照顾和残疾（玛莎萨尔茨），种族和老龄化（基思惠特菲尔德），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）。将进行方案评价，以监测拟议活动的执行情况，并确定其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。将特别注意与从事老年人及其家人工作的卫生和社会服务专业人员分享研究结果及其影响。这反过来又将改善老年人的健康状况，特别是那些过去得不到充分服务的人。
