DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Over the last five years, the Cornell Institute for Translational Research on Aging (CITRA) has developed innovative approaches to facilitate translational research on aging in community settings. In this renewal, the Center seeks to apply this extensive body of work to promoting translational research on the topic of pain and pain management in later life. This theme is of critical importance for translational efforts, because pain is a highly prevalent, costly, and frequently disabling disorder in later life and causes substantial suffering. Successful solutions to the problem of later-life pain will require moving basic behavioral and social science findings more rapidly into programs, practices, and policies targeting older adults. The specific aims of the Center will be to: 1) Translate the findings of basic behavioral and social science research into treatments, intervention programs, and policies that improve the health and well-being of older adults who suffer from or are at increased risk for pain; 2) Promote translation of evidence-based practices, treatments, and interventions across diverse venues to improve the management of pain; 3) Develop and test innovative methods, tools, and strategies that facilitate successful translation of evidence into practice; 4) Maintain and expand an effective infrastructure for conducting translational research on aging and pain, taking advantage of the diverse, multicultural environment of New York City; and 5) Leverage the substantial intellectual, fiscal, clinical, and other resources of the academic collaborators in this application, thereby achieving results that would not be attainable by any one institution alone. To accomplish these aims, we will expand our Roybal Center, which currently includes the strengths and expertise of Cornell University's Medical College and its social and behavioral science faculty, to partnership with Columbia University's Mailman School of Public Health. Further, we will fully integrate two major Cornell-affiliated academic institutions into the Center that have extensive academic expertise and resources devoted to pain and pain management: Memorial Sloan Kettering (Oncology and Palliative care) and the Hospital for Special Surgery (Arthritis and Rehabilitation). This expansion of the Cornell Roybal Center will be called The Cornell-Columbia Institute for Translational Research on Aging (C-CITRA). This unique partnership brings together two of the most prominent institutions in the field of gerontology and geriatrics, both of which have a long history of translational research activities, extensive community partnerships, and large pools of potential affiliates and mentees.

描述（由申请人提供）：在过去五年中，康奈尔大学衰老研究所（Citra）开发了创新的方法，以促进社区环境中衰老的转化研究。在此续约中，该中心试图将这项广泛的工作应用于促进后来生活的疼痛和疼痛管理主题的转化研究。对于翻译工作而言，这个主题至关重要，因为疼痛是一种高度普遍，昂贵且经常使晚期致残的疾病，并造成巨大的痛苦。解决后期疼痛问题的成功解决方案将需要将基本的行为和社会科学发现更快地转化为针对老年人的计划，实践和政策。该中心的具体目的是：1）将基本行为和社会科学研究的发现转化为治疗，干预计划和政策，以改善患有或面临疼痛风险增加的老年人的健康和福祉； 2）促进各种场所跨越基于循证的实践，治疗和干预措施的翻译，以改善疼痛的管理； 3）开发和测试创新的方法，工具和策略，以促进证据成功地转化为实践； 4）利用纽约市多样化的多元文化环境，维护和扩展有效的基础设施，用于进行老化和疼痛的转化研究； 5）利用学术合作者在本申请中的实质性智力，财政，临床和其他资源，从而实现了仅任何一个机构就无法实现的结果。为了实现这些目标，我们将扩大我们的皇家中心，该中心目前包括康奈尔大学医学院及其社会和行为科学教师的优势和专业知识，以与哥伦比亚大学的邮政公共卫生学院合作。此外，我们将将两个主要的康奈尔大学附属学术机构完全整合到该中心，这些机构具有广泛的学术专业知识和专门用于疼痛和疼痛管理的资源：纪念Sloan Kettering（肿瘤学和姑息治疗）和特殊外科医院（关节炎和康复）。康奈尔皇家中心的这种扩张将被称为康奈尔 - 哥伦比亚衰老转化研究所（C-Citra）。这种独特的合作伙伴关系汇集了老年病和老年医学领域中最杰出的两个机构，这两者都有悠久的转化研究活动，广泛的社区伙伴关系以及大量潜在分支机构和受训者的历史。
