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--老年疼痛翻译研究所(TRIPLL)为行为和社会科学研究的翻译开发了创新的方法和有效的基础设施，以改善老年人的健康和福祉。创建TRIPLL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，将社会和行为结合起来 康奈尔大学伊萨卡校区的科学家和翻译研究专家与纽约市康奈尔医学院的研究人员合作。TRIPLL推动了关于晚年痛苦主题的翻译研究倡议。这种关注是合理的，因为疼痛在老年人中是一种非常普遍、代价高昂且经常使人丧失能力的疾病。在这一相互竞争的续订申请中，我们将利用并扩展我们中心构建的基础设施，以在知名研究中心之间建立合作，促进关于行为改变科学的转化性研究，以解决以后的痛苦。这个新的关注点是恰当的，因为行为改变科学的重大进步在这个时候对翻译工作来说是非常有希望的。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、通信交互设计实验室(位于纽约州伊萨卡)以及康奈尔纽约理工大学(位于纽约市)。这一独特的伙伴关系将老年学和老年医学领域的知名机构与行为改变科学和技术方面的尖端项目结合在一起。康奈尔大学罗伊巴尔中心的具体目标将是：(1)将行为变化科学的发现转化为针对患有疼痛的老年人的新型干预措施；(2)保持活跃的调查员发展计划，让新的研究人员应用行为变化科学理论来最大限度地适应老龄化；(3)为翻译行为变化科学研究提供有效的基础设施；以及(4)利用学术合作者在这一应用中的智力、财政和其他资源，从而取得任何一个机构单独无法达到的结果。

 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.
