CORE--RESEARCH DEVELOPMENT

研究发展核心(RDC)的目标是帮助实现 OAIC通过提供有效的初级教师职业生涯而陈述的目标 发展奖(CDA)培训计划和促进创新 相关基础、临床和卫生服务研究。的功能 RDC包括：(1)由两名初级教员组成的CDA项目 和他们的指导委员会在一个结构化的跨学科项目中 旨在提供成果和机制方面的综合培训 研究，并促进教师职业发展；(2)试点助学金 鼓励发展新的基础、临床和健康的方案 旨在培养独立性的服务研究方法 老年人；(3)有组织的教学计划，以加强 所有初级教员和研究员的研究培训，后者 代表我们未来的初级教员；(4)研究进展 导师小组，由资深教职员工组成，拥有广泛的 专业知识，为初级教师获奖者提供个性化的 所需领域的跨学科培训；和(5) 跨学科结构，以监测区域发展委员会获奖者的进展情况 确保区域发展委员会有助于加强与老龄化有关的 加州大学洛杉矶分校的研究和培训。 在最初的五年里，RDC向四个加州大学洛杉矶分校提供了CDA 老年医学/老年学初级教员，支持了19个试点项目 与OAIC目标相关的研究项目，其中13个已发展为 已获资助或待批的联邦研究拨款申请。以此为基础 在拟议的5年支助期间，至少有四年的经验 初级教员将接受3-4年的CDA强化培训 在相关成果和机制研究方面的经验。两个强壮的 正在进行的CDA项目将从目前的奖项继续到 新周期的头1-2年。Rose Maly医学博士将继续她的工作 在老年评估和患者赋权领域，斯科特和 E.Sherman医学博士将延长他在更换医生和 患者行为改善预防实践，并有特定的重点 关于运动干预。在这些计划结束时，另外两个 候选人将被选中参加CDA培训项目，这些培训项目将结合 机制和成果研究、培训和经验。此外, 每年，区域发展委员会将支持四个创新的先导研究项目 检查关键的基础、临床和/或卫生服务方面 与OAIC目标相关的疾病。

The goal of the Research Development Core (RDC) is to help achieve the stated aims of the OAIC by providing an effective junior faculty career development award (CDA) training program and promoting innovative relevant basic, clinical and health services research. Features of the RDC include: (1) a CDA program comprised of two junior faculty members and their mentorship committees in a structured interdisciplinary program designed to provide integrated training in outcomes and mechanistic research, and to promote faculty career development; (2) a pilot grants program to encourage the development of new basic, clinical and health services research approaches directed toward fostering independence in older adults; (3) an organized program of instruction to enhance the research training of all junior faculty and fellows, the latter representing our future junior faculty; (4) a Research Development Mentorship panel, comprised of senior faculty with a wide range of expertise, to provide junior faculty awardees with individualized interdisciplinary training in required areas; and (5) an interdisciplinary structure to monitor the progress of RDC awardees and to assure that the RDC contributes to the enhancement of aging-related research and training at UCLA. Over its first five years, the RDC has provided CDAs to four UCLA geriatrics/gerontology junior faculty members and has supported 19 pilot research projects relevant to OAIC goals, 13 of which have developed into funded or pending Federal research grant applications. Building on this experience, during the proposed 5-year period of support at least four junior faculty members will undergo an intensive 3-4 year CDA training experience in relevant outcomes and mechanistic research. Two strong ongoing CDA programs will be continued from the present award into the first 1-2 years of the new cycle. Rose Maly, M.D. will continue her work in the area of geriatric assessment and patient empowerment, and Scott E. Sherman, M.D. will extend his studies in changing physician and patient behavior to improve preventive practices, with a specific focus on exercise interventions. At the end of these programs, two additional candidates will be chosen for CDA training programs that will combine mechanistic and outcomes research training and experience. In addition, each year the RDC will support four innovative pilot research projects that examine the basic, clinical, and/or health service aspects of key disorders relevant to the goals of the OAIC.
