DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This is the second competing renewal of the Yale Training Program in Geriatric Clinical Epidemiology and Aging-Related Research. The objective of the Yale Program is to develop a cadre of physician scientists and PhD investigators with expertise in geriatric clinical epidemiology and/or translational aging research who will be equipped to address the myriad of unanswered questions concerning the diagnosis, etiology, treatment, management, prevention, and prognosis of the health problems experienced by the ever increasing number of older persons. We will accomplish this objective by providing highly qualified physicians, who are already well trained in geriatrics and/or subspecialties with age-related relevance, and outstanding PhD-trained investigators with 2 to 3 years of rigorous research training. Our trainees will develop skills in each of 8 essential areas: 1) formulation of significant and focused research questions and hypotheses; 2) design of observational and/or experimental studies to address focused research questions; 3) techniques for successful execution of specific study designs; 4) project and/or laboratory management; 5) critical analysis of the scientific literature, including research methods and data quality; 6) interpretation of findings; 7) verbal and written communication of scientific methods and findings; and 8) development and implementation of strategies for research support. These skills will be developed through a training experience that includes both didactic and experiential components. The didactic curriculum includes courses offered through the Clinical Scholars Program, Investigative Medicine Program and School of Public Health, coupled with several high quality aging- specific training venues at Yale and "off site". The central component of the Yale Program is a mentored research experience, which includes structured meetings with Program Faculty in geriatrics/gerontology and at least one supervised research project tailored to the trainee's experiences and interests, with the goal of producing one or more first-authored, peer-reviewed publications and a grant application to support further research. The Yale Program has successfully recruited and retained a full complement of outstanding trainees during each of the first 9 years, and has successfully placed many of its graduates in tenure-track, research- intensive positions at top-tier academic institutions. For the next five years, we request full funding for the five postdoctoral positions that had been previously approved.

描述(由申请人提供)：这是耶鲁大学老年临床流行病学和老龄化相关研究培训计划的第二次竞争性更新。耶鲁计划的目标是培养一支在老年临床流行病学和/或翻译性衰老研究方面具有专业知识的内科科学家和博士研究人员队伍，他们将有能力解决与越来越多的老年人所经历的健康问题的诊断、病因、治疗、管理、预防和预后有关的无数悬而未决的问题。我们将通过提供已经在老年病学和/或与年龄相关的次级专科方面接受过良好培训的高素质医生和经过2至3年严格研究培训的优秀博士培训人员来实现这一目标。我们的学员将在8个基本领域中的每一个方面发展技能：1)提出重要的和重点的研究问题和假设；2)设计观察性和/或实验研究以解决重点研究问题；3)成功执行特定研究设计的技术；4)项目和/或实验室管理；5)科学文献的批判性分析，包括研究方法和数据质量；6)研究结果的解释；7)科学方法和发现的口头和书面交流；以及8)研究支持战略的制定和实施。这些技能将通过包括授课和体验两部分的培训经验来发展。教学课程包括通过临床学者计划、调查医学计划和公共卫生学院提供的课程，以及耶鲁大学和“非现场”的几个高质量的专门针对衰老的培训场所。耶鲁计划的核心部分是指导研究体验，其中包括与老年医学/老年学计划学院的有组织的会议，以及至少一个根据受训者的经历和兴趣定制的受监督的研究项目，目的是制作一份或多份首创、同行评议的出版物和一份赠款申请，以支持进一步的研究。在最初的9年里，耶鲁项目每年都成功地招聘和留住了一批优秀的实习生，并成功地将许多毕业生安排在顶级学术机构的终身教职轨道上，担任研究密集型职位。在接下来的五年里，我们要求为之前批准的五个博士后职位提供全额资金。
