RESEARCH CAREER DEVELOPMENT CORE

耶鲁大学研究职业发展核心（RCDC）的总体目标是识别和培训一支骨干队伍 初级研究人员将成为衰老研究的未来领导者，具有设计/进行所需的技能 多因素老年健康状况的生物学、转化和临床研究。具体目标 是：（1）促进选定的初级教师的职业发展和研究技能的获取 通过提供薪资、基础设施/技术和其他职业发展支持； (2) 提供 并促进初级教师优先获得资源核心的设计专业知识和服务， 针对多因素老年健康状况的研究的开展和分析； (3) 促进 培养转化研究技能（基础“临床”基础；临床“实践”），解决以下问题 我们关注多因素老年健康状况； (4) 发现并创造机会 跨学科研究； (5) 赞助每年一次的初级教师务虚会，提供强化培训和 支持研究职业发展； (6) 提供并便利老年人参与教育活动 本地和国家研究； (7) 增加获得其他职业发展资源的机会，例如 协议制定、资金来源信息、赠款资源库、合适的导师和 合作者、适当的研究人群和老年仪器目录。正如这些目标所反映的那样， 下一个资助周期将更加重视转化和跨学科研究。 Thomas Gill 博士是一位由 NIH 资助的临床研究员，因其在功能性方面的工作而享有国际声誉。 衰退和残疾，以及经过验证的领导和指导能力，将领导 RCDC。对于第一个 今年，4位杰出候选人，代表不同学科、不同背景和 兴趣，已选择：Sarwat Chaudhry，医学博士（普通医学）、Manisha Juthani-Mehta，医学博士 （传染病）、Arthur Simen 医学博士、博士（分子精神病学和人类遗传学）和 Ji Li 博士 （心脏病学）。美国老年人独立中心 (OAIC) 的成功更新将使我们能够建立 我们在过去 15 年中建立了许多成功的程序，并将继续 解决缺乏具备最佳技能和培训的临床、转化和基础科学研究人员的问题 严格研究多因素老年健康状况的病因、预后和管理。

The overall goal of the Yale Research Career Development Core (RCDC) is to identify and train a cadre of junior investigators who will be future leaders in aging research, with the skills necessary to design/conduct biological, translational, and clinical studies of multifactorial geriatric health conditions. The specific aims are: (1) to promote the career development and acquisition of research skills of selected junior faculty through the provision of salary, infrastructure/technical, and other career development support; (2) to provide and facilitate priority access by junior faculty to the resource cores' expertise and services for the design, conduct, and analysis of studies addressing multifactorial geriatric health conditions; (3) to promote the development of skills for translational research (basic ¿¿clinical ¿¿basic; clinical ¿> practice) that addresses our focus on multifactorial geriatric health conditions; (4) to identify and foster opportunities for interdisciplinary research; (5) to sponsor a yearly junior faculty retreat that provides intensive training and support in research career development; (6) to provide and facilitate access to educational activities in aging research locally and nationally; and (7) to enhance access to other career development resources, such as protocol development, information on funding sources, grant resource library, suitable mentors and collaborators, appropriate study populations, and geriatric instrument catalog. As reflected in these aims, there will be a greater emphasis during the next funding cycle on translational and interdisciplinary research. Dr. Thomas Gill, an NIH-funded clinical investigator with international stature for his work on functional decline and disability and with proven leadership and mentorship abilities, will lead the RCDC. For the first year, 4 candidates of outstanding promise, representing different disciplines with diverse backgrounds and interests, have been selected: Sarwat Chaudhry, MD (General Medicine), Manisha Juthani-Mehta, MD (Infectious Disease), Arthur Simen, MD, PhD (Molecular Psychiatry and Human Genetics), and Ji Li, PhD (Cardiology). Successful renewal of the Older Americans Independence Center (OAIC) will allow us to build on many of the successful procedures that we have established over the past 15 years and to continue to address the scarcity of clinical, translational and basic science investigators with optimal skills and training to rigorously study the etiology, prognosis and management of multifactorial geriatric health conditions.
