项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application seeks support for an MD/PhD Program in Medicine, the Social Sciences, and Aging at the University of Chicago (UC). The program builds on institutional strength in aging, the social sciences, and interdisciplinary research and its integration into the professions, including medicine. The proposed program will produce MD/PhD graduates trained in medicine, a quantitative social science or related profession (Economics, Sociology, Psychology, Comparative Human Development, Conceptual and Historical Studies in Science, Business, Public Policy, and Social Service Administration), and interdisciplinary approaches to aging research. Training in aging research will include theories and epidemiology of aging, policy issues for older adults, and health services and outcomes research methods, and exposure to health care institutions. The proposed program builds on UC's 25-year history of national leadership in training MD/PhDs in the social sciences. Our training record has been exceptional, training more MD/PhDs in these areas than any other institution with excellent placement and scientific impact. Our experience has also taught us the potential pitfalls of such programs, including the difficulty of recruiting applicants able to meet the exceptionally competitive admission standards of both our medical school and our PhD programs, and the difficulty of ensuring that trainees supported by the program focus on aging. To address these challenges, we propose an approach with 2 tracks: 1) The Pritzker School of Medicine (PSOM) Track for students who will receive their MD at UC's PSOM and their PhD at UC, and 2) the National Track for students who may receive their MD at any US medical school and their PhD at UC. Institutional support will allow us to matriculate an average of 1 trainee per year into each of these tracks, for a total of 2 per year. Eligibility criteria for NIA support tha include demonstrated commitment to research in the social sciences and aging, and alternative training options outside this program for MD/PhD trainees not interested in aging, will help ensure that NIA funds only support trainees focused on aging. Trainees' focus on aging will also be enhanced by their participation in seminars in which they present their work to their colleagues and program leaders and by their close supervision by an interdisciplinary mentorship team that includes at least 1 NIA-funded researcher and 1 practicing geriatrician.

描述（由申请人提供）：此申请寻求医学，社会科学和老龄化在芝加哥（UC）大学的MD/博士课程的支持。该计划建立在老龄化，社会科学和跨学科研究及其融入专业，包括医学的机构实力。拟议的计划将产生医学，定量社会科学或相关专业（经济学，社会学，心理学，比较人类发展，科学，商业，公共政策和社会服务管理的概念和历史研究），以及跨学科的方法来老龄化研究的MD/博士毕业生。老龄化研究的培训将包括老龄化的理论和流行病学，老年人的政策问题，卫生服务和成果研究方法，以及接触卫生保健机构。拟议的计划建立在UC在社会科学领域培养MD/PhD的25年国家领导历史的基础上。我们的培训记录是特殊的，在这些领域培养更多的MD/PhD比任何其他机构具有良好的安置和科学影响。我们的经验也告诉我们这些项目的潜在缺陷，包括很难招募到符合条件的申请人。我们的医学院和博士课程的入学标准极具竞争力，而且很难确保该项目支持的学员专注于老龄化。为了应对这些挑战，我们提出了一种具有两条轨道的方法：1）普利兹克医学院（PSOM）轨道，适用于将在UC的PSOM获得医学博士学位并在UC获得博士学位的学生，以及2）国家轨道，适用于可能在任何美国医学院获得医学博士学位并在UC获得博士学位的学生。机构的支持将使我们能够录取平均1实习生，每年都有两个这样的主题，每年总共有两个。NIA支持的资格标准包括对社会科学和老龄化研究的承诺，以及对老龄化不感兴趣的MD/PhD学员在该计划之外的替代培训选择，将有助于确保NIA资金只支持专注于老龄化的学员。学员对老龄化的关注也将通过他们参加研讨会来提高，在研讨会上，他们向同事和项目负责人介绍了自己的工作，并通过跨学科导师团队的密切监督来提高，该团队至少包括1名NIA资助的研究人员和1名执业老年医学家。
