Roybal Center Administrative Core

管理和行政核心项目总结。 杜克·罗伊巴尔中心的总体目标是促进跨学科研究的发展 为老年人开发和测试创新的行为和社会干预措施。这些干预措施将 解决我们的主题，即改善移动性，以增强职能独立性并增加与 有意义的活动和参与。管理和行政核心(MAC)将有助于实现这一目标 目标通过指导中心的总体方向，作为中心的沟通和决策 集线器。MAC的目的有三个方面。首先，它将设立和指导中心的总体方向和 通过与NIA资助的Roybal Pilot Core高度整合的方式分配其资源 杜克大学人口统计学和经济老龄化与老年美国独立(胡椒)中心，咨询 委员会、其他罗伊巴尔中心和罗伊巴尔协调中心。其次，它将利用Center 阶段模式各级的资源和专门知识，以提供经验式学习结构 设计、提炼、测试和实施转化性行为干预所需的实用研究技能 专注于提高移动性，并促进现有和 跨学科的初级研究人员。第三，互委会将密切监测进程和结果指标 资助的试点项目和中心活动的进展情况。MAC核心旨在： 目标1：协调和监督中心的行政职能，以建立和维持 集中的研究资源和稳定的研究基础设施，以促进翻译行为 旨在提高老年人行动能力和功能的干预研究。 目标2：在阶段模式的各级优化使用中心的资源和专门知识，以促进、 监督和加快试点研究，并提供一个跨学科的丰富环境。这 丰富的环境包括以社会认知理论为指导的体验式学习，以培养 开发设计、改进、测试和实施新的行为干预措施所需的技能 增强机动性。 目标3：利用中心以研究为导向的程序评估资助的试点项目和中心活动 成果指标，进行数据驱动的改进，并每年报告总体效果和 提高中心、其核心和资助的试点项目的效率。 MAC将以旨在催化实践技能的体验式学习的方式运行 需要进行跨学科研究，以开发和测试针对老年人的创新干预措施 成年人。我们的方法可以作为全国基于技能的研究培训的典范，为研究人员提供 开发有效和可翻译的行为干预措施，以增强老年人的行动能力。

MANAGEMENT AND ADMINISTRATIVE CORE PROJECT SUMMARY. The overall goal of the Duke Roybal Center is to catalyze the development of cross-disciplinary research to develop and test innovative behavioral and social interventions for older adults. These interventions will address our theme of improving mobility to enhance functional independence and increase engagement with meaningful activities and participation. The Management and Administrative Core (MAC) will contribute to this goal by guiding the overall direction of the Center, serving as a central communication and decision-making hub. The purpose of the MAC is threefold. First, it will set up and guide the overall direction of the Center and allocation of its resources by operating in a highly integrated fashion with the Roybal Pilot Core, NIA-funded Demography and Economics of Aging and Older American Independence (Pepper) Centers at Duke, Advisory Committee, other Roybal Centers and the Roybal Coordinating Center. Second, it will leverage Center resources and expertise at all levels of the Stage Model to provide a structure for experiential learning of the practical research skills needed to design, refine, test, and implement translational behavioral interventions focused on improving mobility, and foster new research collaborations and proposals among established and junior researchers across disciplines. Third, the MAC will closely monitor the process and outcome indicators of advancement for funded pilot projects and Center activities. The MAC Core aims to: Aim 1: Coordinate and oversee the administrative functions of the Center in order to establish and maintain centralized research resources and a stable research infrastructure to advance translational behavioral intervention research to enhance mobility and functioning in older adults. Aim 2: Optimize the use of Center resources and expertise at all levels of the Stage Model to facilitate, monitor, and accelerate pilot research and provide an enriched environment that crosses disciplines. This enriched environment includes experiential learning informed by Social Cognitive Theory to foster the development of skills needed to design, refine, test, and implement novel behavioral interventions for enhancing mobility. Aim 3: Evaluate funded pilot projects and Center activities with the Center’s research-driven process and outcome indicators, make data-driven improvements, and annually report the overall effectiveness and efficiency of the Center, its Cores, and funded pilot projects. The MAC will operate in ways that are designed to catalyze experiential learning in the practical skills necessary for conducting cross-disciplinary research to develop and test innovative interventions for older adults. Our approach may serve as a national model for skills-based research training for researchers to develop effective and translatable behavioral interventions to enhance mobility in older adults.
