 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The proposed T35 program will provide annual financial support to fourteen medical students to spend nine weeks during the first summer of medical school working on aging-related research. The program's objectives are: (1) provide students with a pre-selected list of mentors and aging related research projects; (2) get medical students interested in principles of clinical care for of older adults and in geriatric medicine; () run a high quality program that identifies highly qualified students, assures strong mentorship, and optimizes the probability that research will lead to presentations and publications; and (4) acquire data that can be used to judge the success of the program for improvement. The Medical Student Training in Aging Research (MSTAR) program will coordinate with the American Federation for Aging Research (AFAR) so that students from other medical schools can participate, although most students are expected to be from the NYUSOM. An experienced Geriatrician and researcher will be the Program Director (PD) assisted by an Associate Program Director (APD) familiar with career mentoring for medical students, geriatric curriculum development, and the NYUSOM's new curriculum that emphasizes research. An internal advisory board (IAB) will advise the Program Director (PD) on selection of mentors, projects, and once per year an external advisory board (EAB) will review the program. Each year the PD and the IAB will select experienced researchers who are also successful mentors and solicit from them aging research projects for students. These researchers will work closely with students to ensure the successful implementation of a research project suitable for abstract, presentation and publication. Students will also have faculty mentors in geriatrics who will sometimes be the research mentors, but if the research mentor is not closely involved with clinical geriatrics; the faculty mentor will be the PD, APD, or an appropriate member of the IAD. The students' research experiences will begin with an informational session to explain the program and distribute the list of approved mentors and projects. Research mentors will interview and select a student for each project. Selected students will write a proposal with the mentor's guidance and submit to the PD and APD for approval. During the first month students will have weekly lunch meetings with research mentors to discuss their research; and during the last 5 weeks, the students will present journal articles or works-in-progress. Students will also have another interactive didactic session each week; five related to research and four to geriatrics/aging. Students will also have the opportunity for clinical experiences appropriate for rising M2's. Students will be required to submit an abstract for the AGS Annual meeting, the same abstract for NYUSOM Internal Medicine (IM) Research Day and a special research day for the T35. Students will also be strongly encouraged to attend the AGS annual meeting to present their research. To track the success of the program, students and mentors will be surveyed at the end of the program regarding their experience and how the program can be improved.

 拟议的T35计划将为14名医学院学生提供年度财政支持，让他们在医学院的第一个夏天花9周时间从事与衰老相关的研究。该方案的目标是：（1）为学生提供一个预先选择的导师和老龄化相关的研究项目名单;（2）让医学生对老年人和老年医学的临床护理原则感兴趣;（3）运行一个高质量的程序，识别高素质的学生，确保强大的导师，并优化研究将导致演示和出版物的概率;以及（4）获取可用于判断改进方案成功的数据。医学生老龄化研究培训（MSTAR）计划将与美国老龄化研究联合会（AFAR）协调，以便来自其他医学院的学生可以参加，尽管大多数学生预计将来自NYUSOM。一名经验丰富的老年医学专家和研究人员将担任项目主任（PD），由一名熟悉医学生职业指导、老年医学课程开发和强调研究的NYUSOM新课程的副项目主任（APD）协助。内部咨询委员会（IAB）将就导师和项目的选择向项目总监（PD）提供建议，外部咨询委员会（EAB）将每年审查一次项目。每年，PD和IAB将选择经验丰富的研究人员谁也是成功的导师，并从他们那里为学生征求老化研究项目。这些研究人员将与学生密切合作，以确保成功实施适合摘要，演示和出版的研究项目。学生也将有教师在老年医学导师谁有时会是研究导师，但如果研究导师不密切参与临床老年医学;教师导师将PD，APD，或IAD的适当成员。学生的研究经验将开始与信息会议，以解释该计划，并分发批准的导师和项目的名单。研究导师将面试并为每个项目选择一名学生。被选中的学生将在导师的指导下撰写一份提案，并提交给PD和APD批准。在第一个月，学生将与研究导师每周午餐会议，讨论他们的研究;在最后5周，学生将提出期刊文章或正在进行的工作。学生每周还将有另一个互动教学会议;五个与研究有关，四个与老年医学/衰老有关。学生还将有机会获得适合M2上升的临床经验。学生将被要求提交AGS年会的摘要，NYUSOM内科（IM）研究日的相同摘要和T35的特殊研究日。我们也强烈鼓励学生参加AGS年会，展示他们的研究成果。为了跟踪计划的成功，学生和导师将在计划结束时接受调查，了解他们的经验以及如何改进计划。
