The overarching goal of the UNC-CH Summer Research Training in Aging for Medical Students (UNC-CH MSTAR) Program, funded since 2010, is to continue to serve as a national resource for preparing early career medical and osteopathic students to design, conduct, analyze, and present independent research in the broad field of aging. The program intent is to recruit physicians into a lifelong career in aging research. Our vision is to expand the pipeline of potential physician scientists, who will address the gaps in knowledge that can be translated into treatment for the multiple diseases and disabilities affecting older adults. Our specific aims are: Aim 1. Match the incoming UNC-CH MSTAR trainees to carefully selected, outstanding, funded faculty mentors, who will help nurture a growing interest in geriatrics/gerontology research by role modeling. Aim 2. Provide an understanding of the nature of geriatrics/gerontology research, including topics on ethics and responsible conduct of research, delivered by lecture and case presentations. Aim 3. Evaluate yearly the UNC-CH MSTAR program to determine the success of the program, and track outcomes to institute improvements. Aim 4. Select fifteen (12 NIA funded) medical and osteopathic pre-doctoral trainees per year, who will dedicate 2 to 3 summer months to work on an aging-related research project in areas relevant to the NIA mission. Aim 5. Ensure a more diverse group of UNC-CH MSTAR trainees by expanding recruitment efforts. We will recruit 15 pre-doctoral trainees, 12 to be funded by NIA and 3 by UNC-CH. Training will be based in the UNC-CH Center for Aging and Health in collaboration with the Schools of Medicine, Nursing, Pharmacy, Public Health, Social Work, and the College of Arts and Sciences. Trainees will be chosen from a diverse pool of mostly rising second year medicine and osteopathic students through expanded recruitment efforts. They will be carefully matched with faculty mentors across UNC-CH who conduct funded genetic, biological, clinical, behavioral, social, and economic research related to the aging process, disease and conditions associated with aging, health services and other needs specific to older Americans. Trainees will participate in a mentored research project and attend weekly structured didactic seminars. Faculty mentors and UNC-CH MSTAR leaders will evaluate student performance during the fifth week of training and at the end of the summer experience. Research guidance will be provided by research mentors and UNC-CH MSTAR leaders. Trainees will gain the skills to responsibly conduct research and build an appreciation for the complex issues regarding the scope and impact of aging research through reviews of the relevant literature, development of research initiatives, data analysis, preparation of abstracts and manuscripts, and research presentations. UNC-CH remains fully committed to providing a strong foundation for medical and osteopathic student trainees to build academic careers that advance aging research.

自2010年以来资助的UNC-CH医学生夏季研究培训（UNC-CH MSTAR）计划的总体目标是继续作为国家资源，为早期职业医学和骨科学生做好准备，以设计，进行，分析和展示广泛的老龄化领域的独立研究。该计划的目的是招募医生进入老龄化研究的终身职业。我们的愿景是扩大潜在的医生科学家的管道，他们将解决知识的差距，可以转化为对影响老年人的多种疾病和残疾的治疗。我们的具体目标是：目标1。将即将到来的UNC-CH MSTAR学员与精心挑选的优秀资助教师导师相匹配，他们将通过角色建模帮助培养对老年医学/老年学研究日益增长的兴趣。目标二。提供老年医学/老年学研究的性质的理解，包括道德和负责任的研究行为的主题，通过讲座和案例介绍交付。目标3.每年评估UNC-CH MSTAR计划，以确定该计划的成功，并跟踪结果以进行改进。目标4。每年选择15名（12名NIA资助）医学和骨科博士前学员，他们将在夏季的2至3个月内致力于与NIA使命相关的领域的衰老相关研究项目。目标5。通过扩大征聘努力，确保UNC-CH MSTAR受训人员群体更加多样化。我们将招募15名博士前学员，12名由NIA资助，3名由UNC-CH资助。培训将在UNC-CH老龄与健康中心与医学，护理，药学，公共卫生，社会工作和艺术与科学学院合作。学员将通过扩大招聘工作，从一个主要是上升的第二年医学和骨科学生的多元化池中选择。他们将与UNC-CH的教师导师仔细匹配，他们进行资助的遗传，生物，临床，行为，社会和经济研究，涉及衰老过程，疾病和与衰老相关的疾病，健康服务和其他特定于美国老年人的需求。学员将参加一个指导研究项目，并参加每周结构化的教学研讨会。教师导师和UNC-CH MSTAR领导人将在培训的第五周和夏季体验结束时评估学生的表现。研究指导将由研究导师和UNC-CH MSTAR领导人提供。受训者将获得负责任地进行研究的技能，并通过审查相关文献，制定研究计划，数据分析，编写摘要和手稿以及研究演示文稿，对老龄化研究的范围和影响的复杂问题进行了解。UNC-CH仍然完全致力于为医学和骨科学生学员提供坚实的基础，以建立推进老龄化研究的学术事业。
