项目摘要

Family caregiving for older adults is increasingly recognized as an impending public health crisis due to our growing aging population and changing family characteristics. To achieve innovative solutions for the grand challenges family caregivers face, academic entities, who have formerly operated separately, must coalesce to share research approaches and expertise. The purpose of this K07 application, led by Dr. Lee Ellington, is to build the Research Collaborative for Family Caregivers of Older Adults at the University of Utah and Utah Health Sciences to ultimately support the health and wellbeing of family caregivers caring for older adults. The Collaborative is designed to transcend traditional academic boundaries using a bridging infrastructure to harness, connect and amplify existing strengths of five campus entities joining for the first time. These entities include the Center for Alzheimer’s Care, Center on Aging, Center for Health Outcomes and Population Equity in Cancer, Consortium for Families and Health Research, and the College of Nursing (5Cs). Each is committed to starting new endeavors and expanding existing partnerships for caregiving science of older adults through Collaborative activities. Each brings a unique cadre of researchers, trainees and junior faculty, and has a distinct domain or focus that allows for rich cross-fertilization. In addition to collaborating with the 5Cs, Dr. Ellington will partner with a strong, existing University mentorship program to select and provide value-added mentorship and training to 10 Caregiver Scholars fostering their potential to become leaders of interdisciplinary research teams improving support for family caregivers of older adults. Finally, she will create new caregiving-related curricula, which will be delivered through CCTS and the Interprofessional Education Program. These curricula streams will have a wide reach at the University and Health Sciences, educating and training both emerging researchers and the next generation of health care professional about caregiving for older adults. Drawing from her current leadership experiences and enhanced by additional professional development activities, Dr. Ellington is poised to achieve the following aims: 1) Leverage existing entities across the University of Utah and Utah Health Sciences to establish an environment for interdisciplinary faculty to share, collaborate, and advance research for family caregiving across mental and physical health conditions and disabilities for older adults; 2) Partner with an established mentorship program at the University of Utah and Utah Health Sciences to expand capacity and training to promising junior caregiving scientists who actively participate in Collaborative programmatic activities; and 3) Develop and evaluate new curricula on family caregiving for older adults to reach new investigators including emerging clinician scientists and future health care providers. The Collaborative will increase the pool of investigators and promote the capacity and quality of research; thus, elevating the University’s commitment to caregiving and aging science for the health and wellbeing of caregivers of older adults for our state, our region and our nation.

由于我们的人口老龄化和家庭特征不断变化。为大盛大实现创新的解决方案挑战家庭护理人员面临的挑战，以前曾单独运作的学术实体必须合并分享研究方法和专业知识。李·埃灵顿（Lee Ellington）博士领导的此K07应用程序的目的是在犹他大学和犹他州的老年人家庭护理人员中建立研究合作健康科学最终支持家庭照顾者照顾老年人的健康和福祉。这协作旨在使用桥接基础设施超越传统的学术界限线程，连接和扩大五个校园实体的现有优势，首次加入。这些实体包括阿尔茨海默氏症护理中心，衰老中心，健康成果和人口中心癌症的公平性，家庭和健康研究财团以及护理学院（5C）。每个都是致力于开始新的努力并扩大现有的伙伴关系成人通过协作活动。每个人都带来了独特的研究人员，学员和初级教师的干部，并具有独特的领域或焦点，可以进行丰富的交叉施用。除了与 5CS，埃灵顿博士将与一项强大的现有大学精力计划合作，以选择和提供增值的精通和对10名看护人学者的培训，促进了他们成为领导者的潜力跨学科研究团队改善对老年人家庭护理人员的支持。最后，她会创造新的与护理相关的课程，该课程将通过CCT和跨专业教育提供程序。这些课程流将在大学和健康科学领域范围内，教育和培训新兴研究人员和下一代医疗保健专业人员老年人。从她目前的领导经验中汲取灵感，并通过其他专业人士来增强开发活动，埃灵顿博士被毒死以实现以下目的：1）利用现有实体在犹他大学和犹他州的卫生科学中，建立了跨学科教师的环境分享，协作和进步在精神和身体健康状况的家庭护理方面进行研究和老年人的残疾； 2）与犹他大学的既定精神计划合作和犹他州的健康科学，将能力和培训扩大到有前途的初级照料科学家参加协作计划活动； 3）开发和评估有关家庭的新课程照顾老年人接触新的研究人员，包括新兴临床科学家和未来健康护理提供者。该协作将增加调查人员的库，并促进研究;因此，提升大学对健康和衰老科学的承诺以及对我们州，我们地区和我们国家的老年人照顾者的福祉。
