描述：（改编自申请人摘要。） 该提案要求提供资金，以支持延长和扩大对老龄研究人员进行培训的赠款。 扩展计划的目标是培养熟悉多学科和跨学科方法的基础，临床和应用研究人员来研究衰老。 下一个培训周期将利用申请机构增加的机会。博士前学员将在卫生服务研究，心理学，护理，家庭和社会科学，物理医学和康复，劳资关系，社会工作和药学实践部门注册。除了这些学科，博士后培训将包括家庭实践，精神病学，公共事务，药学实践和神经病学的部门。所有这些部门都将为这两个级别的学员提供研究机会。博士前学员将从培训一开始就参与研究。 博士后将专注于研究培训和专业技能的完善。研讨会将提供老龄研究方法方面的跨学科培训，这是所有受训者都需要的，此外还将举办非正式研讨会和座谈会。 所有受训人员都将接触到与其主要专业领域有关或相关的领域的研究。 鼓励两个级别的学生在培训结束前至少发表一篇论文。

DESCRIPTION: (Adapted from applicant's abstract.) This proposal requests funds to support renewal and expansion of a grant training persons in aging research. The goals of the expanded program are to train basic, clinical, and applied researchers who are conversant with the multi- and interdisciplinary approaches to the study of aging. The next cycle of training will take advantage of the increased opportunities at the applicant institution. Predoctoral trainees will be enrolled in the Departments of Health Services Research, Psychology, Nursing, Family and Social Science, Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, Industrial Relations, Social Work, and Pharmacy Practice. In addition to these disciplines, postdoctoral training will include the Departments of Family Practice, Psychiatry, Public Affairs, Pharmacy Practice, and Neurology. All of these departments will provide research opportunities for both levels of trainees. Predoctoral trainees will participate in research from the beginning of their training. Postdoctoral trainees will focus on research training and the refinement of professional skills. Interdisciplinary training will be provided by the seminar in methods of aging research which is required for all trainees, as well as informal seminars and colloquia. All trainees will be exposed to research in areas related or relevant to their primary area of specialization. Students at both levels will be encouraged to have published at least one paper by the end of their training.
