摘要-南加州大学巴克研究所内森休克中心整体 老龄化领域的生物学正处于拐点；30年来的发现揭示了这一点 衰老和寿命决定的机制。直到最近，这些研究还被认为是 现象学，但老年科学家现在正在改变我们研究慢性病的方式 以及医学实践本身。为了这种转变是可持续的，老龄化领域的基础生物学 必须扩大规模。对这一扩张至关重要的是对下一代地球科学家的培训。在这里，我们呈现 一项创新的活动方案，重点是培训，旨在克服这些问题 挑战。这包括许多研究休假、一项试点项目计划和一项代金券资助 向外部调查人员开放老龄化研究无与伦比的技术平台的机制。

ABSTRACT- USC-Buck Institute Nathan Shock Center Overall The biology of aging field is at an inflection point; driven by 30 years of discoveries that have revealed mechanisms of aging and lifespan determination. Until recently, these studies were deemed phenomenological, but geroscientists are now transforming the way we approach the study of chronic diseases and the practice of medicine itself. For this transformation to be sustainable, the basic biology of aging field must expand. Critical for this expansion, is the training of the next generation of geoscientists. Here we present an innovative program of activities, with a strong emphasis on training, designed to overcome these challenges. This includes many Research Sabbaticals, a pilot project scheme and a voucher funding mechanism to open outside investigators to an unmatched technology platform for aging research.
