This is the first competing renewal of the Yale Research Training Program in Geriatric Clinical Epidemiology. The objective of the Yale Program is to develop a cadre of physician scientists and PhD investigators with expertise in geriatric clinical epidemiology who will be equipped to address the myriad of unanswered questions concerning the diagnosis, treatment, management, prevention, and prognosis of the health problems experienced by the ever increasing number of older persons. We will accomplish this objective by providing highly qualified physicians, who are already well trained in geriatrics and/or subspecialties with age-related relevance, and outstanding PhD-trained investigators with 2 to 3 years of rigorous research training. Our trainees will develop skills in each of seven essential areas: 1) formulation of significant and focused research questions and hypotheses; 2) design of observational and experimental studies to address focused research questions; 3) techniques for successful execution of specific study designs; 4) critical analysis of the scientific literature, including research methods and data quality; 5) interpretation of findings; 6) verbal and written communication of scientific methods and findings; and 7) development and implementation of strategies for research support. These skills will be developed through a training experience that includes both didactic and experiential components. The didactic curriculum includes a series of modules offered through the Robert Wood Johnson Clinical Scholars Program, key courses offered through the K30-sponsored Investigative Medicine Program, and advanced courses offered through the School of Public Health. The central component of the Yale Program is a mentored research experience, which includes structured meetings with Program Faculty in geriatrics/gerontology and a supervised research project tailored to the trainee's experiences and interests, with the goal of producing one or more first-authored, peer-reviewed publications and a grant application to support further research. Trainees have the option of obtaining an MPH or a PhD. During the initial funding cycle, the Yale Program has successfully recruited and retained a full complement of highly qualified MD and PhD trainees and has started to export its graduates to tenure-track, research-intensive positions at top-tier academic institutions. We request continued funding for five postdoctoral positions per year for the next five years.

这是耶鲁大学老年临床流行病学研究培训计划的第一次竞争性更新。 耶鲁计划的目标是培养一批医生科学家和博士研究人员， 在老年临床流行病学的专业知识，谁将有能力解决无数的悬而未决的问题， 关于诊断、治疗、管理、预防和预后的问题 越来越多的老年人遇到的问题。我们将通过以下方式实现这一目标： 提供高素质的医生，谁已经在老年医学和/或亚专科受过良好的培训， 与年龄相关的相关性，以及经过2至3年严格研究的优秀博士培训的研究人员 训练我们的学员将在七个基本领域中培养技能：1）制定重要的， 重点研究问题和假设; 2）观察和实验研究的设计，以解决 重点研究问题; 3）成功执行特定研究设计的技术; 4）关键 分析科学文献，包括研究方法和数据质量; 5）解释研究结果; 6)科学方法和发现的口头和书面交流;以及7）发展和 实施研究支持战略。这些技能将通过培训得到发展 经验，包括教学和经验的组成部分。教学课程包括 通过罗伯特·伍德约翰逊临床学者计划提供的一系列模块，提供的关键课程 通过K30赞助的调查医学计划，以及通过 公共卫生学院。耶鲁计划的核心组成部分是一个指导性的研究经验， 其中包括与老年医学/老年学课程教师的结构化会议和监督 根据受训者的经验和兴趣量身定制的研究项目，目标是产生一个或多个 第一作者，同行评审的出版物和资助申请，以支持进一步的研究。学员 获得公共卫生硕士或博士学位的选择。在最初的资助周期中，耶鲁计划成功地 招募并保留了一批高素质的MD和PhD学员，并已开始出口 它的毕业生在顶级学术机构的终身制，研究密集型职位。我们要求 在未来五年内，每年继续资助五个博士后职位。
