Einstein's Nathan Shock Center of Excellence in Basic Biology of Aging

爱因斯坦-内森休克中心（Einstein-Nathan Shock Center）的研发核心利用资源， 允许资助18个试点和3个可行性研究（P&F）和3个核心技术开发奖。的 其中，5项P&F研究获得了NIH的资助，5项研究尚未获得资助（其中一些研究的得分很高）; 此外，2013年之前供资的研究产生了11份出版物。这些P&F研究旨在 将继续加强和支持Einstein和布朗大学“mini-NSC”的E-NSC科学。我们 已经扩大了核心，以确定新的教师谁有潜力“转换”到老龄化研究， 通过赠款申请提供持续的指导，并协助初级教师和新的研究人员， 老化研究我们还为P&F资助的接受者提供老化生物学方面的正规教育， 任何想从部分或全部正式研究生课程中受益的人。我们认为，这些活动 核心加强E-NSC社区，吸引新的研究人员进行与衰老相关的研究，并成功地 促进老龄化相关领域的新研究努力。衰老研究是爱因斯坦 科学界，正如该机构承诺每年提供高达15万美元的匹配 试点赠款。这将允许在任何给定的国家为最多3至5个P&F项目和3个小型P & F提供资金。 一年，并提供较小的金额，研究人员在这一下一个赠款期间的研究资源核心使用， 在正式的P&F申请之前获得初步数据。

The Research Development Core of the Einstein- Nathan Shock Center (E-NSC) has leveraged resources to allow funding of 18 pilot and 3 feasibility (P&F) studies and 3 awards for development of Core technologies. Of these, 5 P&F studies led to NIH funding and 5 have pending funding (some with outstanding scores); in addition, 11 publications, resulted from studies funded before 2013. These P&F studies are designed to and will continue to enhance and support E-NSC science at Einstein and at the Brown University `mini-NSC'. We have expanded the Core to identify new faculty who have potential for `conversion' to aging research and provide continuous mentoring through grant applications and to assist junior faculty and investigators new to aging research. We also provide formal education in the biology of aging to recipients of P&F funding and anyone who wants to benefit from part or all of the formal graduate course. We believe that activities of this Core strengthen the E-NSC community, attract new investigators to aging-related research, and successfully promote new research endeavors in aging-related areas. Aging research is a key component of the Einstein scientific community, as shown by the Institution's commitment to provide up to $150,000 annually in matching funds for pilot grants. This will permit the funding of up to 3 to 5 P&F projects and 3 mini-P&Fs in any given year and provide smaller amounts to investigators in this next grant period for Research Resource Core use to obtain preliminary data before formal P&F application.
