CORE--RESEARCH DEVELOPMENT

研究开发核心的最终目标是推进 通过学术知识的发展，研究密集型 在长期被忽视的生物医学研究领域的教员 老年学和老年病学。研究开发的核心是 哈佛老年研究和培训中心将遴选和 培养初级教员进行学术独立研究 老年病学/老年学。对特派团核心领域的研究 将重点利用国家老龄研究所的 该司在老龄问题上的广泛研究计划和 哈佛大学的密切合作项目，以及一系列 为患者招募提供资源的研究核心， 生理特征、数据管理、放射免疫分析和 生物医学工程学。关键要素是 成功的研究开发核心体现在 老年部。过去和现在的成功职业记录 发展，拥有一批高素质的研究员和初级教员 在老年病学方面，有经验的研究开发人员 在老龄化研究和环境中促进 在过去的一段时间里，哈佛大学在职业发展方面取得了长足进步 十年。核心主任将由研究开发人员提供协助 由该司高级教员组成的核心咨询委员会 关于老龄化和哈佛医学院。七名研究员和初级研究员 教职员工将在这项提案的第一年得到支持 代表了教师发展光谱上的三个点。 苏珊·格林斯潘博士和曾傑瑞·古尔维茨博士需要职业 支持整合，并将获得资金以加速 他们的研究在几个新的方面具有独立性。戴维斯博士。 香农和戴维斯，奖学金项目的新毕业生 在他们发展到独立的过程中需要职业介绍支持 在老年学部的密切指导下。曼宁博士， 克拉克和鲍曼，他们已经建立了研究兴趣 需要对创新试点工作的支持，从而为他们提供 发展平行研究活动的机会，将 赞扬和加强他们的研究开发。每一位 接受资助的个人将至少利用五项中的三项 中心研究核心。作为一个群体，他们代表着 研究的范围，并表明数量和质量 历来在老龄问题司任职的受训人员。

The ultimate goal of the Research Development Core is to advance knowledge through the development of academic, research-intensive faculty in the long neglected areas of biomedical research in gerontology and geriatrics. The Research Development Core of the Harvard Geriatric Research and Training Center will select and develop junior faculty members for independent research in Academic Geriatrics/Gerontology. Research in areas central to the mission of the National Institute on Aging will be emphasized in utilizing the extensive research programs in the Division on Aging and closely allied programs at Harvard supplemented by a series of research cores providing resources for patient recruitment, physiologic characterization, data management, radioimmunoassay and biomedical engineering. The critical elements required for a successful research development core are demonstrable in the Division of Aging. A past and on-going record of successful career development, a wealth of high quality fellows and junior faculty in geriatrics, research development faculty that are experienced in aging research and in an environment in which to facilitate career advancement have been developed at Harvard over the past decade. The core director will be assisted by research development core advisory committee composed of senior faculty in the Division on Aging and Harvard Medical School. Seven fellows and junior faculty members will be supported in year one of this proposal who represent three points on the spectrum of faculty development. Dr. Susan Greenspan and Dr. Jerry Gurwitz require career consolidation support and will receive funds to accelerate independence in several novel aspects of their research. Drs. Shannon and Davis, more recent graduates of the fellowship program require career induction support as they develop to independence under close mentorship of Division on Aging Faculty. Drs. Manning, Clark, and Baumann, who already have established research interests require support for innovative pilot work which offer them an opportunity to develop parallel research activities that will compliment and intensify their research development. Each of the individuals to be supported will utilize at least three of the five Center Research Cores. As a group they are representative of the spectrum of research and indicate the number and quality of trainees historically present in the Division on Aging.
