描述（根据申请改编）：拟定的基本原理 计划是，老年人的健康最终将得到加强， 扩大老龄化领域富有成效的研究人员的来源， 来自四年制大学的成员。 更多的 研究型大学教师，30名心理学教师， 学院将在几个研究领域接受高级培训 杰出研究者的方法论。 目的是让这些 大学教师能够将他们的研究经验与他们的 正式教学。 具体目标包括：（1）增加参与者 知识，技能和动力，以追求持续的老龄化计划 （2）为参与者提供互动的机会 与从事各种研究的高级研究人员密切合作， 兴趣;（3）提高参与者对现有赠款支助的认识 探索老龄化研究的新方向，同时提供 与NIA计划工作人员互动的机会;（4）加强 参与者与编写文稿有关的知识和技能 出版和传播;（5）促进发展 四年制大学心理学教师之间的网络关系。 对于两组大学教师（每组15名教师）， 将是一个为期两周的暑期研究所，正在进行的磋商与 学院的教师在学年，和后续研究所， 明年夏天，为参与者提供一个机会，分享他们的 彼此和教师的研究建议。 涵盖论题 在这两个会议是：研究设计与分析（博士K。华纳 老年技术研究的问题和方法（尼尔博士 Charness）;干预措施评价（Margaret Gatz博士）;评估老年人 成人（M.鲍威尔·劳顿：种族与老龄化研究中的问题。 詹姆斯杰克逊）;寻求赠款支持（M。Powell Lawton & NIA工作人员）; 和传播和出版（玛格丽特·盖兹博士）。 研究所 教师将被邀请为一个特别的主题问题， 教育老年学侧重于老龄化研究的方法论问题。 该计划将通过与美国的合作联系得到加强 心理学协会。

DESCRIPTION (adapted from the application): The rationale from the proposed program is that the health of elderly adults will eventually be enhanced by broadening the source of productive researchers in aging to include faculty members from four-year colleges. To increase the number of research-oriented college teachers, thirty psychology faculty from four-year colleges will receive advanced training in several areas of research methodology from distinguished researchers. The intent is to have these college teachers be able to integrate their research experiences with their formal teaching. Specific objectives include: (1) increasing participants knowledge, skills, and motivation for pursuing an ongoing program of aging research; (2) providing participants with an opportunity to interact intensively with senior investigators who have a variety of research interests; (3) increasing participants awareness of grant support available for exploring new directions in aging research while providing an opportunity to interact with NIA program staff; (4) strengthening participants knowledge and skills related to the preparation of manuscripts for publication and dissemination; and (5) promoting the development of networking relations among psychology faculty from four-year colleges. For each of two cohorts of college teachers (15 teachers per cohort), there will be an initial two-week summer institute, ongoing consultation with the institute s faculty during the academic year, and a follow-up institute the next summer to provide participants with an opportunity to share their research proposals with each other and the faculty. Topics to be covered during the two sessions are: Research Design & Analysis (Dr. K. Warner Schaie); Issues and Approaches for Gerontechnology Research (Dr. Neil Charness); Evaluation of Interventions (Dr. Margaret Gatz); Assessing Older Adults (Dr. M. Powell Lawton; Issues in Research on Ethnicity & Aging (Dr. James Jackson); Seeking Grant Support (Dr. M. Powell Lawton & NIA staff); and Dissemination and Publication (Dr. Margaret Gatz). The institute s faculty will be invited to contribute to a special theme issue of Educational Gerontology focusing on methodological issues in aging research. The program will be enhanced by its collaborative liaison with the American Psychology Association.
