研发核心（RDC）的目标是帮助实现 通过提供有效的初级教师职业生涯，OAIC的既定目标 发展奖（CDA）培训计划和促进创新 相关的基础、临床和卫生服务研究。 特征 RDC包括：（1）由两名初级教员组成的CDA课程 和他们的指导委员会在一个结构化的跨学科计划 旨在提供成果和机制方面的综合培训， 研究，并促进教师的职业发展;（2）试点赠款 鼓励发展新的基础、临床和保健方案 服务研究方法，旨在培养独立性， （3）有组织的教学计划，以提高老年人的 所有初级教师和研究员的研究培训，后者 代表我们未来的初级教师;（4）研究发展 导师小组，由资深教师组成，具有广泛的 专业知识，为初级教师获奖者提供个性化 在所需领域的跨学科培训;（5） 跨学科结构，以监测RDC获奖者的进展， 确保RDC有助于加强与老龄化有关的 在加州大学洛杉矶分校的研究和培训。 在最初的五年里，RDC为四个UCLA提供了CDA 老年医学/老年学初级教员，并支持了19个试点 与国际会议组织目标有关的研究项目，其中13个已发展成为 资助或等待联邦研究资助申请。在此基础上 经验，在拟议的5年支助期内，至少有4个 初级教师将接受为期3-4年的密集CDA培训 在相关成果和机制研究方面的经验。 两强 正在进行的CDA计划将从目前的奖励继续到 新周期的前1-2年。 Rose Maly，医学博士将继续她的工作 在老年评估和病人赋权领域，斯科特 E.医学博士谢尔曼将继续他的研究，在改变医生， 病人的行为，以改善预防措施，有一个具体的重点 关于运动干预。 在这些计划结束时，两个额外的 候选人将被选中参加CDA培训项目，这些项目将联合收割机 机械和成果研究培训和经验。 此外，本发明还提供了一种方法， 每年RDC将支持四个创新试点研究项目 研究的基础，临床，和/或卫生服务方面的关键 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.
