描述（由申请人提供）：韦恩州立大学老年学研究所寻求资金，通过建立一个正式的老龄化和城市健康博士后培训项目来加强其特殊的培训项目。老年学研究所的培训教员由13名学者组成，他们目前在各种关于健康和健康结果的跨学科研究项目中获得了1500多万美元的赠款资金。目前资助的针对非裔美国青年教师和博士预科学生的培训项目已经为该领域做出了令人印象深刻的贡献。在这项为期五年的资助下，老年学研究所将培训10名博士后学员，每人完成两年的培训。这一培训将培养一批新的研究人员，他们将侧重于减少和消除卫生差距。

DESCRIPTION (provided by the applicant): The Institute of Gerontology at Wayne State University seeks funding to enhance its exceptional training programs by creating a formal postdoctoral training program in aging and urban health. The Institute of Gerontology training faculty consists of 13 scholars, who have more than $15 million in current grant funding in a variety of interdisciplinary research projects on health and health outcomes. Currently funded training programs for junior African-American faculty and for predoctoral students have resulted in impressive contributions to the field. With the assistance of this five-year grant, the Institute of Gerontology will train 10 postdoctoral trainees, each completing two years of training. This training will prepare a new cadre of researchers who will focus on the reduction and elimination of health disparities.
