DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Wayne State University training program in aging and urban health is seeking funds to continue its exceptional pre-doctoral research training program. The rationale for continuing this NIH supported training program is to further our success in training pre-doctoral students, across .a variety of disciplines, on the study of aging and urban health, with a focus on health disparities, functional independence, cognitive neuroscience as well as health and health care over another 5 year period. Our model of using mentoring teams and "pseudo joint appointments" has enabled our trainees to develop a strong professional "fit" with gerontology. This is illustrated by the fact that all 17 of our graduates from 2001-present hold positions in aging and health research at top universities or research programs (e.g. Duke University, University of Michigan, University of California-Davis, University of Louisville, North Carolina State University, City University of London, University of Manchester, University of Miami, Research Triangle Institute). The NIA's investments have led to exceptional success by trainees: 72 publications, 103 regional and national presentations, over 50 university and national awards. From 2001-2004-05, for each slot, the NIA awarded (20 over first four years), we have been able to award an additional 53 slots through university commitments and training faculty research grants. Indeed, one of the keys to an exceptional training setting is the presence of highly skilled funded researchers. Our 21 training faculty hold over $30,000,000 in grant funding, a doubling from our first application five years ago. Program Excellence is demonstrated by (1) Trainee achievement, (2) Faculty achievement, (3) Program achievement, and by (4) Demonstrating growth in its reputation and widespread impact across campus, in the community, and nationally. Lay description: Behavioral, social and cognitive neuroscience research holds significant promise for better understanding chronic disease, health promotion and health-related behaviors among older adults. This is particularly true for urban older adults, who suffer significantly increased morbidity and mortality due to health disparities across a spectrum of diseases and conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, obesity, and a variety of physical and cognitive disabilities. Our training program will prepare researchers to be able to design and apply research findings to this population.

描述（由申请人提供）：韦恩州立大学老龄化和城市健康培训计划正在寻求资金，以继续其特殊的博士前研究培训计划。继续这个NIH支持的培训计划的理由是进一步我们在培训博士生的成功，跨.各种学科，对老龄化和城市健康的研究，重点是健康差距，功能独立，认知神经科学以及健康和医疗保健在另一个5年的时间。我们使用指导团队和“伪联合任命”的模式，使我们的学员能够发展出强大的专业“适合”与老年学。这是由我们的所有17名毕业生从2001年至今在顶级大学或研究计划（例如杜克大学，密歇根大学，加州大学戴维斯分校，路易斯维尔大学，北卡罗来纳州州立大学，伦敦城市大学，曼彻斯特大学，迈阿密大学，三角研究所）的老龄化和健康研究职位的事实说明。NIA的投资使受训人员取得了非凡的成功：72份出版物，103份区域和国家报告，50多个大学和国家奖项。从2001年至2004年至2005年，对于NIA授予的每个名额（前四年为20个），我们能够通过大学承诺和培训教师研究赠款额外授予53个名额。事实上，一个特殊的培训环境的关键之一是高技能的资助研究人员的存在。我们的21个培训教师持有超过30，000，000美元的赠款资金， 比五年前的第一次申请翻了一倍卓越计划是通过（1）培训生的成就，（2）教师的成就，（3）计划的成就，并通过（4）展示其声誉和在校园，社区和全国范围内的广泛影响的增长来证明。铺设说明：行为，社会和认知神经科学研究为更好地了解老年人的慢性病，健康促进和健康相关行为提供了重要的承诺。对于城市老年人来说尤其如此，由于糖尿病、高血压、肥胖以及各种身体和认知障碍等一系列疾病和状况的健康差异，他们的发病率和死亡率显着增加。我们的培训计划将准备研究人员能够设计和应用研究成果，这一人群。
