研发核心：苏珊·布鲁克斯，总监 RDC的目标是通过研究务虚会和试点拨款奖励相结合的方式，支持促进密歇根大学教职员工科学家进行生物衰老研究的环境。RDC还将于2010年7月开始一项计划，根据内森休克中心RFA的建议，直接支持新招聘的初级教员的研究计划。促进生物老年学家和相关领域专家之间的合作是RDC的重要组成部分，我们的研究务虚会是明确组织的，以吸引当地和访问学者的兴趣，这些学者本身可能在老龄化研究中并不成立。试点助学金针对的是处于教师职业生涯早期阶段的科学家，但偶尔也会向对老龄化研究有新兴趣的职业生涯中期的研究人员颁发奖项。

Research Development Core: Susan Brooks, Director The goal of the RDC is to support an environment that promotes biological aging research by UM faculty scientists, through a combination of research retreats and pilot grant awards. The RDC will also begin, in July 2010, a program involving direct support of research programs of newly recruited junior faculty members, as suggested in the Nathan Shock Center RFA. Promoting collaboration between biogerontologists and experts in cognate fields is an important part of the RDC, and our research retreats are organized explicitly to attract the interest of local and visiting scholars who might not themselves be established in aging research. Pilot grants are targeted at scientists in the early stages of their faculty careers, but occasional awards may be made to mid-career researchers with a new interest in aging research.
