DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The candidate is a junior scholar who has been actively committed to the study of marriage and health links. The motivation for this project is to utilize the proposed biomedical training along with the candidate's accrued knowledge and research experience in marriage and health to develop an innovative, integrative approach to understand the biological process of marital relationships that affect health. A K01 Mentored Research Scientist Development Award in Aging Research will enable the candidate to achieve the following career goals: 1) to apply the interdisciplinary biodemographic training gained during the award period in promoting scientific understanding of the underlying biological mechanisms linking marital relationship and health; 2) to develop an interdisciplinary model for studying the interactions of biological and social processes through which marital relationships affect health over the life course; and 3) to initiate interdisciplinary dialogue and program development for training scholars in the social and biological interactions that contribute to marital links to health. The scientific environment is ideal to strengthen this research. Committed mentor faculty and support staff, excellent computing and IT resources, and recognized academic excellence combine to support the candidate's success. The training plan incorporates both introductory and more advanced levels of coursework on human physiology, human biology of cardiovascular system, biodemography and biomedical research methods. The mentors, biodemographer Linda Waite and biomedical scientist Donna Wang will supervise the candidate's training and scholarly development. The consulting team, composed of a social psychologist (Professor Clifford Broman), a biological anthropologist (Professor Thomas McDade), a biological psychologist (Professor Joseph Lonstein) and a biostatistician (Professor Wenjiang Fu) will provide guidance and advice on various theoretical, methodological and research design issues. Through the training, the candidate will gain the biological science expertise that is necessarily to achieve the following specific project aims: Aim 1) to examine how marital biography is related to biological risks as reflected in cardiovascular function among older adults; Aim 2) to assess how marital quality is related to biological risks as reflected in cardiovascular function among older adults; Aim 3) to develop a dyadic model to study how spouses' cardiovascular biological risks are related to each other; and Aim 4) to explore age and gender differences in Aims 1-3. The expected outcomes will set the stage for advancing biodemographic approaches to integrate demographic and biological theory and methods and provide an innovative tool for studying other biological responses to marriage and other marriage-like relationships (e.g., same-sex and different-sex cohabitation) at the R01 level. The analysis will draw upon two national longitudinal datasets from the National Social Life, Health, and Aging Project (NSHAP) and the Health and Retirement Study (HRS)-both are NIA supported datasets. A multilevel mixed effects model and the Actor-Partner Interdependence Model will be applied to address the research aims. This award will establish the candidate as an independent investigator in biodemography with the knowledge and skills to communicate across disciplines about the marital links to health.

描述（由申请人提供）： 候选人是一位积极致力于婚姻与健康联系研究的初级学者。该项目的动机是 利用拟议的生物医学培训以及候选人在婚姻和健康方面积累的知识和研究经验，开发一种创新的综合方法来了解影响健康的婚姻关系的生物过程。衰老研究领域的 K01 指导研究科学家发展奖将使候选人能够实现以下职业目标：1）应用在奖励期间获得的跨学科生物人口统计学培训，促进对婚姻关系与健康之间的潜在生物机制的科学理解； 2）开发一个跨学科模型来研究生物和社会过程的相互作用，婚姻关系通过这些相互作用影响整个生命过程的健康； 3) 启动跨学科对话和项目开发，培训学者了解有助于婚姻与健康的社会和生物相互作用。科学环境是加强这项研究的理想环境。忠诚的指导教师和支持人员、卓越的计算和 IT 资源以及公认的卓越学术成就相结合，为候选人的成功提供支持。培训计划包含人体生理学、心血管系统人类生物学、生物人口学和生物医学研究方法的入门级和高级课程。导师生物人口学家 Linda Waite 和生物医学科学家 Donna Wang 将监督候选人的培训和学术发展。由社会心理学家（Clifford Broman教授）、生物人类学家（Thomas McDade教授）、生物心理学家（Joseph Lonstein教授）和生物统计学家（傅文江教授）组成的咨询团队将就各种理论、方法和研究设计问题提供指导和建议。通过培训，候选人将获得实现以下具体项目目标所必需的生物科学专业知识： 目标 1) 研究婚姻传记与老年人心血管功能所反映的生物风险之间的关系；目标 2) 评估婚姻质量与老年人心血管功能所反映的生物风险之间的关系；目标 3) 开发一个二元模型来研究配偶的心血管生物风险如何相互关联；目标 4) 探讨目标 1-3 中的年龄和性别差异。预期结果将为推进生物人口学方法奠定基础，以整合人口学和生物学理论和方法，并为研究 R01 水平上对婚姻和其他类婚姻关系（例如同性和异性同居）的其他生物反应提供创新工具。该分析将利用来自国家社会生活、健康和老龄化项目 (NSHAP) 和健康与退休研究 (HRS) 的两个国家纵向数据集——两者都是 NIA 支持的数据集。将应用多级混合效应模型和参与者-合作伙伴相互依赖模型来实现研究目标。该奖项将使候选人成为生物人口学领域的独立调查员，具备跨学科沟通婚姻与健康关系的知识和技能。
