 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): In this application, the David Geffen School of Medicine at the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) is partnering with the University of California San Francisco School of Medicine (UCSF), and the University of Washington (UW) to seek continued support for a formal 8-12 week program of training in aging research for medical students to: - Expose them, early in their training, to the excitement of a research career - Support their first steps in developing a research career in areas important to the NIA - Increase the pool of physician scientists engaged in areas of research necessary to continue the mission of the NIA. With UCLA as the core site, our three institutions are particularly well suited to reac these objectives. All three of our programs have: 1) funding from the John A. Hartford Foundation as Centers of Excellence; 2) outstanding faculty who conduct NIA-funded research in aging; and 3) experience training others to conduct aging research. To meet the objectives outlined above, we will rely on methods we have been using successfully over the past 20 years to identify research mentors, match medical students with these mentors, monitor students' research progress, facilitate this progress when needed, teach essential general research skills (including the responsible conduct of research), and provide a forum for presentation of students' research and discussion of ideas. In addition, we will offer small group discussion of common topics in clinical geriatrics, career options in aging, and the opportunity to observe and to participate in the clinical care of geriatric patients in a variety of settings. By accomplishin the aims outlined in this proposal, this program will encourage and support medical students' interest in aging research and geriatrics, and to develop a new cadre of physician scientists who will be able to address key issues related to the research priorities of the NIA. This program will also aim to enhance the research programs in aging at the participating institutions and to foster collaboration in medical student research training in aging among UCLA, UCSF and UW.

 描述（由申请人提供）：在本申请中，加州大学洛杉矶分校（UCLA）的大卫Geffen医学院与加州大学弗朗西斯科医学院（UCSF）和华盛顿大学（UW）合作，寻求继续支持医学生的正式8-12周老龄化研究培训计划：- 在他们的培训早期，让他们接触到研究事业的兴奋-支持他们在对NIA重要的领域发展研究事业的第一步-增加从事继续NIA使命所需研究领域的医生科学家的数量。以加州大学洛杉矶分校为核心，我们的三个机构特别适合实现这些目标。我们的三个项目都有：1）来自约翰A。哈特福德基金会作为卓越中心; 2）杰出的教师谁进行国家情报局资助的研究老龄化;和3）经验培训他人进行老龄化研究。为了实现上述目标，我们将依靠我们在过去20年中成功使用的方法来确定研究导师，将医学生与这些导师相匹配，监控学生的研究进展，在需要时促进这一进展，教授基本的一般研究技能（包括负责任的研究行为），并提供一个论坛，用于介绍学生的研究和讨论想法。此外，我们还将提供临床老年医学常见主题的小组讨论，老龄化的职业选择，以及观察和参与各种环境中老年患者临床护理的机会。通过在本提案中概述的目标，该计划将鼓励和支持医学生对老龄化研究和老年医学的兴趣，并培养一批新的医生科学家，他们将能够解决与NIA研究优先事项相关的关键问题。此程序将 还旨在加强参与机构的老龄化研究计划，并促进加州大学洛杉矶分校、加州大学旧金山分校和华盛顿大学之间在老龄化医学生研究培训方面的合作。
