The Wayne State University training program in aging and urban health is seeking funds to continue its exceptional pre-doctoral research training program. The rationale for continuing this NIH supported training program is to further our success in training pre-doctoral students, across.avariety of disciplines, on the study of aging and urban health, with a focus on health disparities, functional independence, cognitive neuroscience as well as health and health care over another 5 year period. Our model of using mentoring teams and "pseudo joint appointments" has enabled our trainees to develop a strong professional "fit" with gerontology. This is illustrated by the fact that all 17 of our graduates from 2001-present hold positions in aging and health research at top universities or research programs (e.g. Duke University, University of Michigan, University of California-Davis, University of Louisville, North Carolina State University, City University of London, University of Manchester, University of Miami, Research Triangle Institute). The NIA's investments have led to exceptional success by trainees: 72 publications, 103 regional and national presentations, over 50 university and national awards. From 2001-2004-05, for each slot, the NIA awarded (20 over first four years), we have been able to award an additional 53 slots through university commitments and training faculty research grants. Indeed,one of the keys to an exceptional training setting is the presence of hihgly skilled funded researchers. Our 21 training faculty hold over $30,000,000 in grant funding, a doubling from our first application five years ago. Program Excellence is demonstrated by (1) Trainee achievement, (2) Faculty achievement, (3) Program achievement, and by (4) Demonstrating growth in its reputation and widespread impact across campus, in the community, and nationally. Lay description: Behavioral, social and cognitive neuroscience research holds significant promise for better understanding chronic disease, health promotion and health-related behaviors among older adults. This is particularly true for urban older adults, who suffer significantly increased morbidity and mortality due to health disparities across a spectrum of diseases and conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, obesity, and a variety of physical and cognitive disabilities. Our training program will prepare researchers to be able to design and apply research findings to this population.

韦恩州立大学老龄化和城市健康培训项目正在寻求资金以继续其 特殊的博士前研究培训计划。继续 NIH 支持的培训的理由 该计划旨在进一步推动我们在跨学科的博士前学生培训方面取得成功 研究老龄化和城市健康，重点关注健康差异、功能独立性、认知 神经科学以及健康和医疗保健领域将在接下来的五年内开展。我们使用指导的模式 团队和“伪联合任命”使我们的学员与他们建立了很强的专业“契合度” 老年学。 2001 年至今，我们所有 17 名毕业生都在 顶尖大学或研究项目（例如杜克大学、美国大学）的老龄化与健康研究 密歇根大学、加州大学戴维斯分校、路易斯维尔大学、北卡罗来纳州立大学城市分校 伦敦大学、曼彻斯特大学、迈阿密大学、三角研究所）。 NIA 的 投资使学员取得了非凡的成功：72 种出版物、103 种地区和国家 演讲，超过 50 个大学和国家奖项。从 2001 年至 2004 年 5 月，NIA 为每个插槽授予 （前四年 20 个），我们通过大学承诺额外授予 53 个名额 和培训教师研究补助金。事实上，卓越培训环境的关键之一就是存在 受资助的高技能研究人员。我们的 21 名培训教师拥有超过 30,000,000 美元的赠款资金， 比我们五年前的第一次申请翻了一番。卓越计划由 (1) 名实习生证明 成就，(2) 教师成就，(3) 项目成就，以及 (4) 展示其发展 在校园、社区和全国范围内享有盛誉和广泛影响。 简单描述：行为、社会和认知神经科学研究为更好地实现这一目标提供了重要前景 了解老年人的慢性病、健康促进和健康相关行为。这是 对于城市老年人尤其如此，他们的发病率和死亡率显着增加，原因是 糖尿病、高血压、肥胖症等一系列疾病和病症的健康差异 各种身体和认知障碍。我们的培训计划将使研究人员能够 设计研究成果并将其应用于这一人群。
