RESEARCH CAREER DEVELOPMENT CORE

耶鲁大学研究职业发展核心（RCDC）的总体目标是确定和培养一个干部， 初级研究人员谁将是未来的领导者在老龄化研究，与必要的技能，设计/进行 多因素老年健康状况的生物学、转化和临床研究。具体目标 （1）促进选定的初级教师的职业发展和获得研究技能 通过提供工资、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， 开展和分析针对多因素老年健康状况的研究;（3）促进 发展转化研究的技能（基础<$<$临床<$基础;临床<$>实践）， 我们的重点是多因素老年健康状况;（4）确定和促进机会， 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， 支持研究职业发展;（6）提供并促进老年人参加教育活动 地方和国家研究;（7）增加获得其他职业发展资源的机会，如 方案制定，资金来源信息，赠款资源库，合适的导师， 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， 在下一个资助周期，将更加重视转化和跨学科研究。 博士托马斯吉尔，一个国家卫生研究院资助的临床研究人员与国际地位，他的工作，功能 残疾和残疾，并证明领导和辅导能力，将领导区域合作与发展中心。第一 今年，4名候选人的杰出承诺，代表不同学科，不同的背景和 兴趣，已被选中：Sarwat Chaudhry，医学博士（全科医学），Manisha Juthani-Mehta，医学博士 （传染病），亚瑟西蒙，医学博士，博士（分子精神病学和人类遗传学），和李季，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年中建立的许多成功程序，并将继续 解决临床、转化和基础科学研究人员的短缺问题，这些研究人员具有最佳技能和培训， 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.
