DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The goal of this Academic Career Leadership Award is to develop a Program in Palliative Care Research at the University of Colorado at Denver and Health Sciences Center (UCDHSC). The Program will increase capacity for aging-related palliative care research at UCDHSC by formalizing critical connections and facilitating collaborations across disciplines, divisions, departments and institutions and providing necessary infrastructure, mentoring, and content and methodologic expertise. These collaborative research relationships will spark new and innovative approaches to improving care for an aging population with an increasing burden of serious advanced illness. The candidate, Jean S. Kutner, MD, MSPH, and the institution are uniquely qualified and situated to realize these goals. By leveraging the resources of the K07 award, current and new institutional resources, her demonstrated success within her academic division of building capacity in aging research and her established skills in leadership and program building, Dr. Kutner and the UCDHSC are poised to increase the visibility, overall research support and academic capacity for palliative care research at UCDHSC, as well as regionally and nationally. The proposed research plan focuses on behavioral research related to care for older adults with serious advanced illness, incorporating diverse disciplines, methodologies, approaches and populations. This goal of expanding and promoting interdisciplinary clinical research in geriatric palliative care will be attained by: 1) Providing infrastructural support, mentorship and a venue for collaboration for both established and new investigators; 2) Increasing active engagement in palliative care research among students, trainees, faculty and the community; and 3) Identifying gaps in the current evidence base and addressing research priorities relative to care of older adults with serious advanced illness. The expected outcome of this award is a sustainable Program in Palliative Care research that increases the number and diversity of faculty and trainees actively participating in palliative care research. Relevance: Although death occurs far more commonly in older adults than in any other age group, research in palliative care has predominantly focused on younger adults, especially those with cancer. The proposed geriatric palliative care research program seeks to improve research in and care for older adults with advanced illness to meet the needs of this growing population.

描述（由申请人提供）：这个学术职业领导奖的目标是在丹佛的科罗拉多大学和健康科学中心（UCDHSC）开发一个姑息治疗研究项目。该计划将通过正式化关键连接和促进跨学科，部门，部门和机构的合作，并提供必要的基础设施，指导，内容和方法专业知识，提高UCDHSC与老龄化相关的姑息治疗研究能力。这些合作研究关系将激发新的创新方法，以改善对严重晚期疾病负担日益加重的老龄化人口的护理。候选人Jean S.库特纳，医学博士，MSPH，和该机构是唯一合格的，并位于实现这些目标。通过利用K 07奖的资源，当前和新的机构资源，她在老龄化研究能力建设的学术部门中取得了成功，她在领导和项目建设方面的既定技能，库特纳博士和UCDHSC准备提高知名度，整体研究支持和学术能力在UCDHSC姑息治疗研究，以及区域和国家。拟议的研究计划侧重于与严重晚期疾病老年人护理相关的行为研究，结合不同的学科，方法，方法和人群。扩大和促进老年姑息治疗跨学科临床研究的目标将通过以下方式实现：1）为现有和新的研究人员提供基础设施支持，指导和合作场所; 2）增加学生，学员，教师和社区积极参与姑息治疗研究;以及3）确定现有证据基础中的差距，并解决与严重晚期疾病老年人护理相关的研究优先事项。该奖项的预期成果是姑息治疗研究的可持续计划，增加了积极参与姑息治疗研究的教师和学员的数量和多样性。相关性：虽然老年人的死亡率远远高于其他任何年龄组，但姑息治疗的研究主要集中在年轻人身上，特别是那些患有癌症的人。拟议的老年姑息治疗研究计划旨在改善研究和照顾老年人与先进的疾病，以满足这一不断增长的人口的需求。
