Research Education Core

研究教育核心（REC）的目标是确定非常有前途的早期研究者 并提供支持，以促进他们的发展，作为独立的调查人员和领导人在老龄化研究。 REC寻求提供三组调查人员，分别为胡椒学者，小REC 获奖者和REC附属机构，具有开展生物学、翻译和临床研究的知识和技能 多因素老年病研究，并从广泛的来源获得后续资金。 胡椒学者的成果和职业发展目标包括：1）发表研究成果 结果在高影响力的期刊; 2）成功获得独立的资金，既支持进一步的职业生涯 开发（例如K 08和K23奖）和具体项目（例如R21和R 01奖）;以及3）开发 管理研究团队和成为成功的导师所需的领导技能。 这一更新申请建立在当前和以前资助的非常成功的经验基础上 在培养教师的周期从老年医学和各种医学亚专业，包括两者 医生和博士研究员。我们将继续扩大本周期取得的进展， 支持研究人员追求基础和转化研究计划，除了那些追求临床 研究项目，鼓励他们接受多因素老年疾病的复杂性。的 包括三组REC调查员将使我们能够为扩大的初级调查员小组提供支持， 教师和研究员，与他们的培训阶段和承诺的证据适当的支持水平， 老化研究胡椒学者将获得（1）最广泛的财政支持，以保护他们的时间 进行研究和（2）优先访问资源核心，以进行他们的胡椒支持， 项目小型REC获奖者将获得更适度的财政支持，目标是发展 是胡椒奖学金的有力候选人所有三组REC研究人员将收到 在一些关键领域提供研究和职业发展支助，包括： 老龄化/老年医学，特别是对新的老龄化研究和/或在老年医学以外的领域的学员; 2）a 教学课程，涉及多因素老年病研究所需的关键技能和知识 条件; 3）定期举行研究进展会议，介绍自己的工作，并从 其他早期研究者的经验; 4）额外的研究会议，以向更有经验的研究者学习 调查员; 5）为期一天的职业发展务虚会，重点是与老龄化有关的研究; 6）定期更新 关于研究会议，职业发展活动，以及内部和外部的资助机会 耶鲁大学;和7）指导和资源核心支持的发展和写作更大规模的赠款 应用.在第一年，我们计划支持3胡椒学者（2 MD，1博士）：第一年助理教授在 神经病学，内分泌学第二年助理教授，病理学新助理教授。

The objective of the Research Education Core (REC) is to identify highly promising early-stage investigators and provide support to promote their development as independent investigators and leaders in aging research. The REC seeks to provide three groups of investigators, designated as Pepper Scholars, Small REC Awardees, and REC Affiliates, with the knowledge and skills to conduct biological, translational, and clinical studies of multifactorial geriatric conditions and to obtain subsequent funding from a broad range of sources. The outcomes and career advancement goals for the Pepper Scholars include: 1) publication of research results in high-impact journals; 2) success in obtaining independent funding, both to support further career development (e.g. K08 and K23 awards) and specific projects (e.g. R21 and R01 awards); and 3) development of leadership skills necessary to manage research teams and to become successful mentors themselves. This renewal application builds upon the highly successful experiences of the current and prior funding cycles in nurturing faculty from both geriatric medicine and a variety of medical subspecialties, including both physicians and PhD investigators. We will continue to expand upon the advances made in the current cycle to support investigators pursuing basic and translational research programs in addition to those pursuing clinical research programs, encouraging them to embrace the complexities of multifactorial geriatric conditions. The inclusion of three groups of REC investigators will allow us to provide support to an expanded group of junior faculty and fellows, with a level of support appropriate for their stage of training and evidence of commitment to aging research. The Pepper Scholars will receive (1) the most extensive financial support to protect their time for conducting research and (2) priority access to the Resource Cores to conduct their Pepper-supported projects. The Small REC Awardees will receive more modest financial support with the goal of developing strong candidates for subsequent Pepper Scholar funding. All three groups of REC investigators will receive research and career development support in a number of key areas, including: 1) appropriate mentorship in aging/geriatrics, especially for trainees new to aging research and/or in fields outside of geriatric medicine; 2) a didactic curriculum addressing key skills and knowledge necessary for the study of multifactorial geriatric conditions; 3) regular research-in-progress meetings to present their own work and to learn from the experiences of other early-stage investigators; 4) additional research meetings to learn from more experienced investigators; 5) a day-long career development retreat focused on aging-related research; 6) regular updates regarding research meetings, career development activities, and funding opportunities both within and outside of Yale; and 7) mentorship and Resource Core support for the development and writing of larger scale grant applications. In Year 1, we plan to support 3 Pepper Scholars (2 MDs, 1 PhD): a 1st year Assistant Professor in Neurology, a 2nd year Assistant Professor in Endocrinology, and a new Assistant Professor in Pathology.
