DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Center on Aging and the Life Course at Purdue University seeks support for an interdisciplinary, pre- doctoral research training program. The proposed institutional National Research Service Award (NRSA) is designed to build upon recent institutional developments at Purdue University by strengthening interdisciplinary graduate education and training on aging and the life course. The program enhances graduate education and training in gerontology by emphasizing an approach to the subject that is interdisciplinary in nature and focuses on the process of aging. Our long-term aim is to help infuse more attention to life course processes, timing.and environmental context for understanding the aging process. Specific aims include: 1. To recruit, train, and mentor a diverse array of pre-doctoral students for sucessful research careers in aging. 2. To enhance interdisciplinary graduate education on aging using the essential principles of gerontology (e.g., multifaceted aspects of change, life course analysis). 3. To foster responsible conduct of research on aging and the life course through professional development and mentoring. 4. To equip pre-doctoral studetns to engage in meaningful interdisciplinary initiatives related to their disciplinary expertise. Specific mechanisms to achieve the training aims include: interdisciplinary curriculum, research seminar, symposium series, Training Advisory Board, participation in summer intensive courses, minority student recruitment, and training in the responsible conduct of research. The success of the traiing program will be measured by multiple performance indicators for each specific aim. RELEVANCE: The project will enhance the training of doctoral students interested in aging and public health by emphasizing a long-term and interdisciplinary view of the aging process. Our aim is to augment the professional development of these students to become effective members of interdisciplinary research teams.

描述（由申请人提供）：普渡大学的老龄化和生活课程中心寻求支持跨学科的博士研究培训计划。拟议的机构国家研究服务奖（NRSA）旨在通过加强跨学科的研究生教育以及对老龄化和生活课程的培训来建立普渡大学最近的机构发展。该计划通过强调一种本质上是跨学科的学科方法，从而增强了研究生教育和培训，并着重于衰老的过程。我们的长期目标是帮助更多地关注生活课程过程，时机和了解老化过程的环境环境。具体目的包括：1。招募，培训和指导各种各样的博士前学生，以实现衰老的成功研究职业。 2。为了增强跨学科研究生教育，使用老年学的基本原理（例如，变化的多方面方面，生活课程分析）。 3。通过专业发展和指导来促进负责任的研究和生活课程的研究。 4.为了配备博士前的锻炼，以参与与其学科专业知识相关的有意义的跨学科计划。实现培训目的的具体机制包括：跨学科课程，研究研讨会，研讨会系列，培训顾问委员会，夏季强化课程，少数族裔学生招聘以及负责任的研究进行培训。 Traiing程序的成功将通过每个特定目标的多个绩效指标来衡量。 相关性：该项目将通过强调对衰老过程的长期和跨学科观点来增强对老龄化和公共卫生感兴趣的博士培训。我们的目标是增加这些学生的专业发展，以成为跨学科研究团队的有效成员。
