DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The proposed program has been designed to increase the national capacity for conducting high quality aging research in social work, thereby enhancing the health status of older adults. Thirty junior and mid-career faculty from bachelor's and master's programs in social work will receive advanced training with the goal of enhancing their ability to develop an active research agenda and integrating teaching and research on aging in their curriculum. We are committed to attracting and retaining a critical mass of women, minorities, and disabled faculty members. Program objectives include: (1) to increase social work faculty's knowledge, skills, and motivation for pursuing an active program of aging research. (2) To provide participants an opportunity to interact intensively with senior investigators and to promote the development of networking relationships among them. (3) To increase participants' awareness of NIA support available for conducting social work research in aging. (4) To increase the number of strong grant applications that social work faculty submit to the National Institute on Aging. The program will be promoted through a collaborative liaison with the Society for Social Work Research, Council for Social Work Education, and Gerontological Society of America. Program design includes an initial institute, ongoing consultation during the intervening year, a mid-year meeting, and a follow-up institute. Topics include Research Design, Measurement, and Analysis (Aloen Townsend), Evaluation of Interventions (Susan Hughes), Elder Mistreatment (Gregory Paveza), Caregiving and Disabilities (Marsha Seltzer), Ethnicity and Aging (Peggye Dilworth-Anderson), Preparing Grant Applications (Chandra Mehrotra), and NIA Support Available for Aging Research (NIA staff). A systematic evaluation will be conducted to monitor implementation of proposed activities and to determine their effectiveness in achieving the intended outcomes. The co-directors and the participants will disseminate their NIA-supported activities via conference presentations, publications, and Web sites.

描述(由申请人提供)：该计划旨在提高国家在社会工作中进行高质量老龄化研究的能力，从而改善老年人的健康状况。30名社会工作学士和硕士课程的初级和中期教师将接受高级培训，目标是提高他们制定积极研究议程的能力，并将老龄问题的教学和研究纳入其课程。我们致力于吸引和留住相当数量的女性、少数民族和残疾教职员工。课程目标包括：(1)增加社会工作教师的知识、技能和动力，以从事积极的老龄研究项目。(2)为参与者提供与高级调查人员深入互动的机会，并促进他们之间发展网络关系。(3)提高参与者对开展老龄社会工作研究的NIA支持的认识。(4)增加社会工作学院向国家老龄研究所提交的强有力的补助金申请数量。该计划将通过与社会工作研究学会、社会工作教育理事会和美国老年学会的合作联系来促进。项目设计包括一个初始研究所、其间一年中的持续咨询、年中会议和后续研究所。主题包括研究设计、测量和分析(Aloen Townsend)、干预措施评估(Susan Hughes)、老年人虐待(Gregory Paveza)、照顾和残疾(Martha Seltzer)、种族与老龄化(Peggye Dilworth-Anderson)、准备拨款申请(Chandra Mehrotra)，以及NIA为老龄研究提供的支持(NIA工作人员)。将进行系统评价，以监测拟议活动的执行情况，并确定其在实现预期成果方面的效力。联席主任和与会者将通过会议报告、出版物和网站宣传他们由NIA支持的活动。
