Postdoctoral Reearch Training and Education in Geroscience (10 of 11) RL9

拟议的研究培训和教育计划旨在为NRSA和非NRSA做准备 博士后学员的职业生涯在新兴领域的“老年科学”<$the综合，跨学科 研究衰老和与年龄有关的疾病。巴克年龄研究所的独特定位， 在这一领域提供基础广泛的培训和教育，从而使其参与者做好准备， 有助于我们理解衰老的生物学及其伴随的健康后果。一些关键 巴克研究所在这方面的资产是其对老龄化研究的强大机构关注， 研究问题的跨学科方法，先进的技术基础设施，优秀的教师 拥有多样化的科学和临床专业知识以及之前的教学经验，以及无与伦比的区域 研究环境和设施的旧金山弗朗西斯科湾区。巴克研究所致力于 在老龄化研究方面，努力和资源用于培训初级科学家，特别是博士后研究员。在 除了在巴克研究所教职员工的实验室工作外，这些研究员还可以获得 教学课程，旨在更好地装备他们在学术或 生物技术环境，以及职业发展技能，包括研究道德的实际指导， 科学报告、撰写资助文件和教学。这个博士后培训计划的具体目标是： AIM 1.为博士后学员提供老年科学跨学科的实验室经验 衰老和与年龄有关的疾病的综合研究。 AIM 2.为博士后学员提供老年科学固有学科的教学， 实践指导，这将有助于他们的科学职业发展。

The proposed program in research training and education is designed to prepare NRSA and non-NRSA postdoctoral trainees for careers in the emerging field of "geroscience" ¿ the integrated, interdisciplinary study of aging and age-related diseases. The Buck Institute for Age Research is uniquely positioned to provide broad-based training and education in this field, and thereby ready its participants to make important contributions to our understanding of the biology of aging and its attendant health consequences. Some key assets of the Buck Institute in this regard are its strong institutional focus on aging research, highly interdisciplinary approach to research problems, advanced technologic infrastructure, outstanding faculty with diverse scientific and clinical expertise and prior teaching experience, and the unsurpassed regional research environment and facilities of the San Francisco Bay Area. The Buck Institute has devoted major effort and resources to the training of junior scientists, especially postdoctoral fellows, in aging research. In addition to working in the laboratories of Buck Institute faculty members, these fellows have access to didactic courses designed to better equip them for independent careers in aging research in academic or biotechnology settings, as well as practical instruction in career-development skills including research ethics, scientific presentations, grant writing and teaching. This postdoctoral training program's Specific Aims are to: AIM 1. Provide postdoctoral trainees with interdisciplinary laboratory experience in geroscience ¿ the integrated study of aging and age-related diseases. AIM 2. Provide postdoctoral trainees with didactic teaching in disciplines inherent to geroscience and practical instruction that will assist in their scientific career development.
