Geriatric Academic Leadership Award

描述（由申请人提供）：犹他州大学正准备迎接人口老龄化的人口迫切性在犹他州和国家的挑战，一个重要的新的承诺，以支持老龄化相关的研究计划，通过其扩大，跨学科的老龄化中心。这个老年领导学术奖将允许马克Supiano，医学博士。领导犹他州大学与老龄化相关的研究议程的发展。Supiano博士在犹他州大学的老龄化研究和老年医学领域担任主要领导职务，他被任命为内科教授和老年医学部主任，犹他州大学老龄化中心执行主任，以及退伍军人事务部湖城老年医学研究教育和临床中心（GRECC）主任。在这些职位上，他将能够指导这个项目，促进跨学科合作，并加强整个犹他州校园大学与老龄化相关的研究项目的发展。本提案的主要目标是提高犹他州大学老龄化相关研究的知名度和支持，将通过实现以下三个具体目标来实现。具体目标1。增加对老龄化相关研究感兴趣的研究人员的数量。这一目标的可衡量的目标是增加犹他州大学与老龄化相关研究项目资助的调查人员的数量。增长将通过招聘到四个领域的研究实力，发展新的伙伴关系，并通过职业发展。具体目标2。促进老龄化研究中新的跨学科合作的发展。该中心将通过开发受试者招募登记处、提供行政援助以及开发锻炼和康复方案设施来支持促进老龄化研究的基础设施。实现这一目标将通过老龄化中心计划的进一步发展，试点补助金计划的成功，大学老龄化研究相关补助金组合的增长以及跨学科研究计划和中心补助金提案的资金来评估。具体目标3。为博士前和博士后学员制定老龄化多学科研究培训计划。这一目标的可衡量成果是参加老龄化相关研究的受训人员人数，K30计划中老龄化研究课程的开发，以及为专注于老龄化研究的多学科T32培训补助金提供资金。Supiano博士将利用老年领导学术奖的支持来实施这一计划，以显着提高犹他州大学与老龄化相关的研究项目。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The University of Utah is preparing to meet the challenge of the demographic imperative of the aging population in Utah and the nation with a significant new commitment to support aging-related research programs through its expanded, interdisciplinary Center on Aging. This Geriatric Leadership Academic Award will allow Mark Supiano, M.D. to lead the development of an expanded aging-related research agenda for the University of Utah. Dr. Supiano holds major leadership positions in aging research and Geriatric Medicine within the University of Utah with his appointments as Professor of Internal Medicine and Chief of the Division of Geriatrics, Executive Director of the University of Utah Center on Aging, and Director of the Department of Veterans Affairs Salt Lake City Geriatric Research Education and Clinical Center (GRECC). In these positions, he will be able to direct this project, promote interdisciplinary collaborations, and enhance aging-related research program development across the University of Utah campus. The primary objective of this proposal to enhance the visibility and support for aging-related research at the University of Utah will be accomplished by achieving the following three specific aims. Specific Aim 1. Expand the number of investigators with aging-related research interests. The measurable goal for this aim is the increase in the number of investigators identified at the University of Utah with funded programs in aging-related research. The growth will occur through recruitment to four areas of research strength, developing new partnerships, and by career development. Specific Aim 2. Foster the development of new interdisciplinary collaborations in aging research. The Center will support an infrastructure to facilitate aging research by developing a registry for subject recruitment, providing administrative assistance, and developing a facility for exercise and rehabilitation protocols. Accomplishing this aim will be evaluated by the further development of the Center on Aging program, success of the pilot grant program, growth in the University's aging research related grant portfolio, and funding for interdisciplinary research programs and center grant proposals. Specific Aim 3. Develop a multidisciplinarv research training program in aging for pre- and post-doctoral trainees. The measurable outcomes for this aim are the number of trainees who participate in aging-related research, the development of the aging-research curriculum in the K30 program, and funding for a multidisciplinary T32 training grant focused on aging research. Dr. Supiano will utilize the support requested from the Geriatric Leadership Academic Award to implement this plan to significantly enhance the aging-related research programs at the University of Utah.
