Cornell Roybal Center-Translational Research Institute on Pain in Lather Life- II

 描述（由申请人提供）：在过去的5年里，康奈尔大学的罗伊巴尔中心-晚年疼痛转化研究所（TRIPLL）已经开发了创新的方法和有效的基础设施，用于翻译行为和社会科学研究，以改善老年人的健康和福祉。TRIPLL的创建是为了最大限度地利用康奈尔大学与衰老相关的研究的联合资源， 康奈尔大学伊萨卡校区的科学家和转化研究专家与纽约市康奈尔大学医学院的研究人员进行了一次对话。TRIPLL促进了关于晚年疼痛主题的转化研究倡议。这种关注是有道理的，因为疼痛是一种高度流行的，昂贵的，经常致残的条件，在老年人。在这个竞争性的更新应用程序中，我们将利用和扩展我们中心已经建立的基础设施，以在着名的研究中心之间建立合作，这将促进行为改变科学的转化研究，以解决晚年的痛苦。这一新的重点是适当的，因为行为改变科学的重大进展是非常有希望的翻译工作在这个时候。该中心的新合作伙伴将包括理性决策实验室、健康老龄化实验室和通信交互设计实验室（位于纽约州伊萨卡市）以及康奈尔纽约市理工学院（位于纽约市）。这种独特的伙伴关系将老年学和老年医学领域的杰出机构与行为改变科学和技术的尖端计划联系起来。康奈尔大学罗伊巴尔中心的具体目标将是：（1）将行为改变科学的发现转化为老年人疼痛的新干预措施;（2）保持一个充满活力的研究者发展计划，使新的研究人员参与应用行为改变科学理论，以最大限度地适应衰老;（3）为翻译行为改变科学研究提供有效的基础设施;以及（4）在本申请中充分利用学术合作者的智力、财政和其他资源，从而取得任何一个机构都无法单独取得的成果。

 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Over the past 5 years, Cornell's Roybal Center-The Translational Research Institute on Pain in Later Life (TRIPLL) has developed innovative approaches and an effective infrastructure for the translation of behavioral and social science research to improve the health and well-being of older adults. TRIPLL was created to maximize the joint resources for aging-related research at Cornell University, uniting social and behavioral scientists and experts in translational research at Cornell's Ithaca campus with researchers at Cornell's Medical College in New York City (NYC). TRIPLL has promoted translational research initiatives on the topic of later-life pain. This focus is justified because pain is a highly prevaent, costly, and frequently disabling condition among older adults. In this competing renewal application, we will leverage and expand the infrastructure our Center has built to create a collaboration among prominent research centers that will promote translational research on the science of behavior change to address later-life pain. This new focus is appropriate because significant advances in behavior change science are tremendously promising for translational efforts at this time. New partners in the Center will include the Laboratory for Rational Decision Making, Healthy Aging Laboratory, and Interaction Design Laboratory in Communications (located in Ithaca, NY) as well as Cornell NYC Tech (located in New York City). This unique partnership unites prominent institutions in the fields of gerontology and geriatrics with cutting edge programs in behavior change science and technology. The specific aims of Cornell's Roybal Center will be to: (1) translate the findings of behavior change science into novel interventions for older adults with pain; (2) maintain a vibrant investigator development program that engages new researchers in applying behavior change science theories to maximize adaptive aging; (3) provide an effective infrastructure for translating behavior change science research; and (4) leverage the intellectual, fiscal, and other resources of the academic collaborators in this application, thereby achieving results that would not be attainable by any one institution alone.
