ABSTRACT The candidate, a Professor of Medicine and Clinical and Translational Research at the University of Pittsburgh, is applying for a K07 to establish a new and novel program, the Long-term Care Research Network (LTCRN). Long-term care (LTC) residents are the most frail and immobile, have the greatest co-morbidity and cost burden to the health care system -- yet little clinical research involves these residents, and practice guidelines for healthy elderly may not be relevant. The long-term objective of this comprehensive program of clinical investigation and training is to enhance the health of older adults residing in long-term care facilities by engaging researchers in relevant and collaborative, multidisciplinary research programs across the University of Pittsburgh. The short-term objective of the program is to build the infrastructure necessary to accomplish the following four interrelated specific aims: 1) Establish a centralized and integrated program at the University of Pittsburgh and University of Pittsburgh Medical Center (UPMC) bringing together multidisciplinary collaborative investigators who focus on LTC research to improve health for these patients, 2) Develop a dual recruitment model to facilitate access to both LTC residents and facilities in the greater Pittsburgh area who are willing to participate in clinical research, 3) Provide a LTC mobile laboratory to enhance clinical research that will be performed on site at each LTC facility, and 4) Promote recruitment and training for young investigators interested in LTC research to provide a better understanding of specific LTC research needs. She will accomplish these goals by developing the LTCRN at the University of Pittsburgh, leveraging the considerable resources of the UPMC Aging Institute, The Division of Geriatrics and Gerontology, The Clinical Translational Science Institute and Institute for Clinical Research Education, The Claude Pepper Older American Independence Center (of which she is the PI), the many training programs at the university including her own T32 in Geriatrics and Gerontology, UPMC Senior Communities and the many established senior investigators who are currently engaged in clinical research in the LTC setting. Novel components of this K07 include the development of an umbrella program to bring multidisciplinary investigators together to collaborate, a LTC participant and facility registry, a mobile laboratory to allow investigators to provide on-site evaluations and a personalized training program for both mentees and mentors. The candidate's background as the PI of the Pepper Center and Director of the Pepper training core, NIA funding in LTC research, institutional support, and 10 years of a K24 mentoring award, provides her with the leadership skills, research expertise and experience for a successful and sustainable program.

摘要 这位候选人是哥伦比亚大学医学、临床和转化研究教授， 匹兹堡，正在申请K 07建立一个新的和新颖的计划，长期护理研究 网络（LTCRN）。长期护理（LTC）居民是最虚弱、最不动的，拥有最大的 共病和医疗保健系统的成本负担-但很少有临床研究涉及这些 居民和健康老年人的实践指南可能不相关。的长期目标 这项临床调查和培训的综合方案是为了提高老年人的健康， 居住在长期护理设施的成年人，通过让研究人员参与相关和协作， 匹兹堡大学的多学科研究项目。的短期目标 该计划旨在建立必要的基础设施，以实现以下四个相互关联的目标 具体目标：1）在匹兹堡大学建立一个集中和综合的计划， 匹兹堡大学医学中心（UPMC）汇集了多学科的合作 研究人员专注于LTC研究，以改善这些患者的健康，2）开发一个双重的 招募模式，以促进获得LTC居民和设施在大匹兹堡 3）提供LTC移动的实验室，以提高 将在每个LTC机构现场进行的临床研究，以及4）促进招募和 为对长期培训研究感兴趣的年轻研究人员提供培训， LTC的具体研究需求。她将通过开发LTCRN来实现这些目标， 匹兹堡大学，利用UPMC老龄化研究所的大量资源， 临床转化科学研究所和老年医学研究所 临床研究教育，克劳德佩珀老年美国独立中心（其中 她是PI），大学的许多培训项目，包括她自己的T32老年医学， 老年学，UPMC高级社区和许多建立的高级调查人员， 目前在LTC环境中从事临床研究。该K 07的新组件包括 制定一项总括计划，将多学科研究人员聚集在一起进行合作， LTC参与者和机构登记处，一个移动的实验室，允许研究者在现场提供 为学员和导师提供评估和个性化的培训计划。候选人的 背景作为胡椒中心的PI和胡椒培训核心的主任，NIA的资金在 LTC的研究，机构的支持，以及10年的K24指导奖，为她提供了 领导技能，研究专业知识和经验，一个成功的和可持续的计划。
