DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): We propose the development and implementation of a short-term (eight week) summer training colloquium in population, aging, and health aimed at advanced undergraduate students recruited from diverse disciplines. We seek to provide for students making decisions about their graduate education and subsequent career paths an appreciation of the feasibility and value of seeking interdisciplinary training and of conducing interdisciplinary research in population, aging and health. Using a set of teaching modules on selected topics developed by teams of interdisciplinary scholars, instruction will occur using the staff and resources of both a public university (WWU) and a local not-for-profit hospital (St. Joseph Hospital in Bellingham, Washington) with substantial aging and health-related links throughout the community. As a pedagogical tool designed to illustrate the potential and value of interdisciplinary research, students will be sorted into solution teams comprised of students from different disciplines for the duration of the colloquium. These solution teams will be required to work cooperatively to provide answers to key questions raised in each of the eight teaching modules we propose.

描述（由申请人提供）：我们建议发展和实施一个短期（八周）的人口，老龄化和健康暑期培训研讨会，针对来自不同学科的高级本科生。我们力求为学生在决定他们的研究生教育和随后的职业道路时提供对寻求跨学科培训和进行人口、老龄化和健康方面的跨学科研究的可行性和价值的赞赏。使用由跨学科学者团队开发的选定主题的一套教学模块，将利用公立大学（WWU）和当地非营利医院（华盛顿贝灵汉的圣约瑟夫医院）的工作人员和资源进行教学，这些医院在整个社区都有大量的老龄化和健康相关联系。作为一种教学工具，旨在说明跨学科研究的潜力和价值，在研讨会期间，学生将被分为由不同学科的学生组成的解决方案小组。这些解决方案小组将被要求合作，为我们提出的八个教学模块中的每个模块提出的关键问题提供答案。
