DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The proposed training program in "Aging Health and Health Services Research" will be implemented within an environment rich in research resources and a proven track record of advanced training in research methods with application to aging, chronic illness and health care delivery systems. The Brown University Department of Community Health has a long established commitment to studies of health services in the elderly and chronically ill populations. The Department of Community health has 20 tenured, tenure-track, or fixed term faculty, 10 faculty members with joint appointments (Sociology, Economics, Medicine, etc.), 30 research faculty, and 56 volunteer faculty (from the state's Department of Health, Department of Mental Health, Rehabilitation and Hospitals as well as from Community Service Agencies). The 50 full-time and research faculty are Pl's on over 70 grants and research contracts with an annual budget in excess of 25 million dollars. These grants currently support nearly a dozen graduate students. This proposal seeks funding for 4 traineeships per year that would allow us to recruit the best students as fellows in their first two to three years of graduate studies. The proposed project addresses all 4 of the major goals of the NIA Strategic Plan for research, by educating well trained researchers, with multi-disciplinary experience and a broad understanding of the biological, social, health, service and policy aspects of aging. At the same time, they will be knowledgeable and highly skilled in the traditional and emerging methodologies for analyzing the highly complex and nested data that characterize the new era of Epidemiology. The training grant has five specific aims: 1) Recruit high quality doctoral students into aging research; 2) Provide training in substantive topics relevant to health services research in aging; 3) Provide education in epidemiological methods and statistical approaches with applications to aging research; 4) Provide research experiences in ongoing epidemiological and health services research projects; and, 5) Prepare students for academic and research careers as independent scientists. These aims will be accomplished by a combination of prescribed courses, mandatory seminars, journal clubs and training program meetings as well as applied research experiences working with any one of the numerous funded faculty.

描述(由申请人提供)：“老龄健康与健康服务研究”的培训计划将在一个拥有丰富研究资源的环境中实施，并在研究方法应用于老龄化、慢性病和医疗保健提供系统方面提供经过验证的高级培训记录。布朗大学社区健康系长期以来一直致力于老年人和慢性病人群健康服务的研究。社区卫生系有20名终身教员、终身教职或定期教职教员、10名联合聘任教员(社会学、经济学、医学等)、30名研究教员和56名志愿教员(来自州卫生局、心理健康、康复和医院以及社区服务机构)。这50名全职和研究人员拥有70多项助学金和研究合同，年度预算超过2500万美元。这些助学金目前资助了近12名研究生。这项提议寻求为每年4个实习生提供资金，这将使我们能够在研究生学习的头两到三年招募最好的学生作为研究员。 拟议的项目通过培养训练有素、具有多学科经验并对老龄化的生物、社会、健康、服务和政策方面有广泛了解的研究人员，实现了NIA研究战略计划的所有4个主要目标。与此同时，他们将在分析高度复杂和嵌套的数据的传统和新兴方法方面拥有丰富的知识和高度熟练的技能，这些数据是新时代流行病学的特征。培训补助金有五个具体目标：1)招募高质量的博士生从事老龄研究；2)提供与老龄卫生服务研究相关的实质性主题的培训；3)提供流行病学方法和统计学方法的教育，并将其应用于老龄研究；4)提供正在进行的流行病学和卫生服务研究项目的研究经验；以及5)为学生作为独立科学家的学术和研究生涯做好准备。这些目标将通过指定课程、必修研讨会、期刊俱乐部和培训计划会议以及与众多资助教师中的任何一位合作的应用研究经验来实现。
