DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The objective of the Pitt Clinical Research Training Program in Geriatrics and Gerontology is to produce a new generation of clinical investigators with the knowledge, skills and experience to succeed as patient-oriented aging researchers. Such investigators are greatly needed because they bring a unique and essential perspective to research to improve the health of the older adult. The University of Pittsburgh offers an outstanding milieu for this training, with exceptional depth and breadth of well-funded, multidisciplinary aging research, experienced and involved mentors, comprehensive resources for training in patient oriented research and a novel Concentration in Aging Research Methods. The training program is built on a well defined structure with five main areas of competency; 1) patient- oriented research methods, 2) aging and geriatrics, 3) aging research methods, 4) professional skills and 5) topical expertise. To achieve competency in these areas, we employ the following training strategies: 1) an individual career plan, 2) formal didactics, 3) seminars and workshops, 4) a mentoring team, 5) experiential learning and 6) scheduled oversight and mutual feedback. The training program focuses on three levels of trainees; 1) a postdoctoral program for physicians, pharmacists and physical therapists, 2) a one year predoctoral training program integrated into the Pitt School of Medicine's 5-year MD/MS in Clinical Research dual degree program, and 3) a short term summer training program for medical, physical therapy and pharmacy doctoral students. Relevance In order to improve the health of older adults through research, some members of the research team must know how the aging process affects health, disease and functional abilities. Such researchers can design and carry out research studies that are uniquely tailored to the needs and concerns of older adults. This training grant is designed to produce a new generation of researchers to fill this role.

描述（由申请人提供）：皮特老年医学和老年学临床研究培训计划的目标是培养新一代的临床研究人员，他们具有知识，技能和经验，能够成功地成为以患者为导向的老龄化研究人员。这样的研究人员是非常需要的，因为他们带来了一个独特的和必要的角度来研究，以改善老年人的健康。匹兹堡大学为这种培训提供了一个出色的环境，具有资金充足，多学科老龄化研究的特殊深度和广度，经验丰富和参与的导师，全面的资源，用于以患者为导向的研究和新颖的集中在老龄化研究方法。培训计划建立在一个明确的结构上，有五个主要能力领域：1）以患者为导向的研究方法，2）老龄化和老年医学，3）老龄化研究方法，4）专业技能和5）专题专业知识。为了达到这些领域的能力，我们采用以下培训策略：1）个人职业规划，2）正式教学法，3）研讨会和讲习班，4）指导团队，5）体验式学习和6）定期监督和相互反馈。培训计划侧重于三个层次的学员; 1）医生，药剂师和物理治疗师的博士后课程，2）为期一年的博士前培训计划整合到医学的皮特学校的5年MD/MS临床研究双学位课程，和3）短期暑期培训计划医学，物理治疗和药学博士生。为了通过研究改善老年人的健康，研究团队的一些成员必须知道衰老过程如何影响健康，疾病和功能能力。这些研究人员可以设计和开展专门针对老年人需求和关切的研究。这项培训补助金旨在培养新一代研究人员来填补这一职位。
