The overall goal of the Research and Development Core is to provide an environment and support that will enhance the ability of faculty scientists at the University of Michigan to enter into and/or conduct significant research programs on the biology of aging, Particular emphasis is placed upon exposing Michigan biogerontologists to the most recent developments in the field and in supporting innovative preliminary research projects. A research mentorship program will be set up to support an expected group of new faculty hirings during the next five years of the grant. The following specific aims will promote the overall objectives of this Core: 1. To organize and support a series of annual workshops on the biology of aging that will introduce local researchers and trainees to major newly developing sectors in the field of biogerontology research. 2. Through the workshops, to facilitate interactions among researchers from other Shock Centers and to encourage collaborative research, 3. To award two pilot grants per year to promising junior faculty members for the purpose of developing new preliminary data that will make them competitive for independent outside research funding. 4. To develop a system of mentoring junior faculty scientists by senior biogerontologists. 5. To stimulate entry into aging research by senior investigators who are not gerontologists by funding exploratory research through the pilot grant program.

研究和开发核心的总体目标是提供一个环境和支持，这将提高密歇根大学的教师科学家进入和/或进行重大研究项目的能力，特别强调的是暴露密歇根大学的生物学在该领域的最新发展，并支持创新的初步研究项目。将设立一个研究导师计划，以支持在未来五年的赠款预期组的新教师招聘。下列具体目标将促进本核心的总体目标： 1.组织和支持一系列关于衰老生物学的年度工作坊，向本地研究人员和学员介绍衰老生物学研究领域的主要新兴领域。 2.通过讲习班，促进其他休克中心研究人员之间的互动，并鼓励合作研究， 3.每年向有前途的初级教员提供两笔试点赠款，用于开发新的初步数据，使他们在独立的外部研究资金方面具有竞争力。 4.建立一个由高级生物学家指导初级学院科学家的制度。 5.通过试点资助计划资助探索性研究，鼓励非老年病学家的高级研究人员进入老龄化研究。
