DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This is the second competing renewal of the Yale Training Program in Geriatric Clinical Epidemiology and Aging-Related Research. The objective of the Yale Program is to develop a cadre of physician scientists and PhD investigators with expertise in geriatric clinical epidemiology and/or translational aging research who will be equipped to address the myriad of unanswered questions concerning the diagnosis, etiology, treatment, management, prevention, and prognosis of the health problems experienced by the ever increasing number of older persons. We will accomplish this objective by providing highly qualified physicians, who are already well trained in geriatrics and/or subspecialties with age-related relevance, and outstanding PhD-trained investigators with 2 to 3 years of rigorous research training. Our trainees will develop skills in each of 8 essential areas: 1) formulation of significant and focused research questions and hypotheses; 2) design of observational and/or experimental studies to address focused research questions; 3) techniques for successful execution of specific study designs; 4) project and/or laboratory management; 5) critical analysis of the scientific literature, including research methods and data quality; 6) interpretation of findings; 7) verbal and written communication of scientific methods and findings; and 8) development and implementation of strategies for research support. These skills will be developed through a training experience that includes both didactic and experiential components. The didactic curriculum includes courses offered through the Clinical Scholars Program, Investigative Medicine Program and School of Public Health, coupled with several high quality aging- specific training venues at Yale and "off site". The central component of the Yale Program is a mentored research experience, which includes structured meetings with Program Faculty in geriatrics/gerontology and at least one supervised research project tailored to the trainee's experiences and interests, with the goal of producing one or more first-authored, peer-reviewed publications and a grant application to support further research. The Yale Program has successfully recruited and retained a full complement of outstanding trainees during each of the first 9 years, and has successfully placed many of its graduates in tenure-track, research- intensive positions at top-tier academic institutions. For the next five years, we request full funding for the five postdoctoral positions that had been previously approved. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: The objective of the Yale Training Program in Geriatric Clinical Epidemiology and Aging-Related Research is to develop a cadre of physician scientists and PhD investigators with expertise in geriatric clinical epidemiology and/or translational aging research who will be equipped to address the myriad of unanswered questions concerning the diagnosis, etiology, treatment, management, prevention, and prognosis of the health problems experienced by the ever increasing number of older persons.

描述（由申请人提供）：这是耶鲁大学老年临床流行病学和衰老相关研究培训计划的第二次竞争性更新。耶鲁计划的目标是培养一批具有老年临床流行病学和/或转化衰老研究专业知识的医生科学家和博士研究人员，他们将能够解决有关诊断，病因学，治疗，管理，预防和预后的无数未回答的问题。我们将通过提供高素质的医生来实现这一目标，这些医生已经在老年医学和/或与年龄相关的亚专业方面受过良好的培训，并且优秀的博士培训研究人员接受了2至3年的严格研究培训。我们的学员将在8个基本领域中培养技能：1）制定重要和重点研究问题和假设; 2）设计观察和/或实验研究以解决重点研究问题; 3）成功执行特定研究设计的技术; 4）项目和/或实验室管理; 5）科学文献的批判性分析，包括研究方法和数据质量; 6）解释研究结果; 7）口头和书面交流科学方法和研究结果; 8）制定和实施研究支持战略。这些技能将通过培训经验，包括教学和经验的组成部分发展。教学课程包括通过临床学者计划，调查医学计划和公共卫生学院提供的课程，以及耶鲁大学和“场外”的几个高质量的老龄化特定培训场所。耶鲁计划的核心组成部分是指导研究经验，其中包括与老年医学/老年学计划教师的结构化会议，以及至少一个针对学员经验和兴趣的监督研究项目，目标是制作一个或多个第一作者，同行评审的出版物和资助申请，以支持进一步的研究。耶鲁计划在前9年的每一年都成功地招募和保留了一批优秀的学员，并成功地将许多毕业生安置在顶级学术机构的终身教职和研究密集型职位上。在接下来的五年里，我们要求为之前批准的五个博士后职位提供全额资助。 公共卫生相关性：耶鲁大学老年临床流行病学和衰老相关研究培训计划的目标是培养一批具有老年临床流行病学和/或转化衰老研究专业知识的医生科学家和博士研究人员，他们将能够解决有关诊断，病因学，治疗，管理，预防，以及对越来越多的老年人所遇到的健康问题的预测。
