DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This Training Program in Geriatrics and Gerontology seeks to produce independent academic investigators in clinical and health services research, whose focus is improving function in older adults. The program will accept 2 postdoctoral fellows per year, so that at a steady state, 4 fellows would be participating. They will be recruited primarily from the geriatrics fellowship based at Monroe Community Hospital, but will also be accepted from the Departments of Community and Preventive Medicine and of Psychiatry, as well as the School of Nursing's Center for Clinical Research on Aging. They will participate in a 3-part training program over a two-year period. The 3 components are: 1) a mentored research experience; 2) a series of 7 didactic courses aimed at acquiring the knowledge necessary for conducting clinical research, including biostatistics, epidemiology, and design of clinical trials; and 3) a series of workshops to build research skills, including research ethics, scientific communication, medical informatics, and grant writing. The latter two components of this training plan will utilize the Rochester Clinical Research Curriculum, a highly successful program developed through an NIH K30 award to train clinical researchers. Mentors will be chosen from 5 research "clusters": cardiology, geriatric health services, neuropsychiatry, oncology, and infectious diseases. In addition to a Primary Research Mentor, fellows will work with one or more Geriatrics / Gerontology Faculty Advisors, so that they will have a mentorial panel that can provide an optimal training experience.

描述（由申请人提供）：这个老年病学和老年学培训项目旨在培养临床和卫生服务研究方面的独立学术研究者，其重点是改善老年人的功能。本项目每年招收2名博士后，稳定保持在4人左右。他们将主要从门罗社区医院的老年医学奖学金中招募，但也将从社区和预防医学、精神病学部门以及护理学院老年临床研究中心接受招募。他们将参加为期两年的三部分培训项目。这三个组成部分是：1)有指导的研究经历；2)一系列7门教学课程，旨在获得进行临床研究所需的知识，包括生物统计学、流行病学和临床试验设计；3)一系列研讨会，培养研究技能，包括研究伦理、科学传播、医学信息学和拨款写作。该培训计划的后两个部分将利用罗切斯特临床研究课程，这是一个通过NIH K30奖开发的非常成功的项目，用于培训临床研究人员。导师将从5个研究“集群”中选择：心脏病学、老年卫生服务、神经精神病学、肿瘤学和传染病。除了主要的研究导师外，研究员还将与一个或多个老年医学/老年医学教师顾问合作，这样他们就会有一个指导小组，可以提供最佳的培训体验。
