The Wayne State University training program in aging and urban health is seeking funds to continue its exceptional pre-doctoral research training program. The rationale for continuing this NIH supported training program is to further our success in training pre-doctoral students, across.avariety of disciplines, on the study of aging and urban health, with a focus on health disparities, functional independence, cognitive neuroscience as well as health and health care over another 5 year period. Our model of using mentoring teams and "pseudo joint appointments" has enabled our trainees to develop a strong professional "fit" with gerontology. This is illustrated by the fact that all 17 of our graduates from 2001-present hold positions in aging and health research at top universities or research programs (e.g. Duke University, University of Michigan, University of California-Davis, University of Louisville, North Carolina State University, City University of London, University of Manchester, University of Miami, Research Triangle Institute). The NIA's investments have led to exceptional success by trainees: 72 publications, 103 regional and national presentations, over 50 university and national awards. From 2001-2004-05, for each slot, the NIA awarded (20 over first four years), we have been able to award an additional 53 slots through university commitments and training faculty research grants. Indeed,one of the keys to an exceptional training setting is the presence of hihgly skilled funded researchers. Our 21 training faculty hold over $30,000,000 in grant funding, a doubling from our first application five years ago. Program Excellence is demonstrated by (1) Trainee achievement, (2) Faculty achievement, (3) Program achievement, and by (4) Demonstrating growth in its reputation and widespread impact across campus, in the community, and nationally. Lay description: Behavioral, social and cognitive neuroscience research holds significant promise for better understanding chronic disease, health promotion and health-related behaviors among older adults. This is particularly true for urban older adults, who suffer significantly increased morbidity and mortality due to health disparities across a spectrum of diseases and conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, obesity, and a variety of physical and cognitive disabilities. Our training program will prepare researchers to be able to design and apply research findings to this population.

韦恩州立大学的老龄化和城市健康培训项目正在寻求资金，以继续其 卓越的博士前研究培训计划。继续进行NIH支持培训的理由是 该计划是为了进一步我们在培养博士前学生的成功，跨。 研究老龄化和城市健康，重点是健康差距，功能独立，认知 神经科学以及健康和医疗保健在另一个5年的时间。我们使用指导的模式 团队和“伪联合任命”使我们的学员能够发展出强大的专业“适合”， 老年学这一事实表明，我们所有的17名毕业生从2001年至今的职位， 顶尖大学或研究项目（如杜克大学、密歇根大学、 密歇根大学、加州大学戴维斯分校、路易斯维尔大学、北卡罗来纳州、州立大学、城市大学 伦敦大学、曼彻斯特大学、迈阿密大学、三角研究所）。NIA的 投资使受训人员取得了非凡的成功：72份出版物，103份区域和国家出版物， 演讲，超过50个大学和国家奖项。从2001-2004-05年度起，国家投资管理局为每个时段颁发了 (20在头四年），我们已经能够通过大学承诺授予额外的53个名额 和培训教师研究赠款。事实上，一个特殊的培训环境的关键之一是存在 高技能的资助研究人员。我们的21个培训教师持有超过30，000，000美元的赠款资金， 比五年前的第一次申请翻了一倍卓越的计划表现在：（1）培训生 （2）教师成就，（3）计划成就，以及（4）展示其增长 在校园，社区和全国范围内的声誉和广泛的影响。 行为，社会和认知神经科学研究为更好地实现人类的目标提供了重要的希望。 了解老年人的慢性病、健康促进和健康相关行为。这是 城市老年人尤其如此，他们的发病率和死亡率因下列原因而显著增加： 在一系列疾病和病症，如糖尿病，高血压，肥胖症， 各种身体和认知障碍。我们的培训计划将使研究人员能够 设计并将研究成果应用于这一人群。
