描述：(摘自摘要)威斯康星州立大学老年学研究培训计划在老龄化和城市健康方面寻求资金，以加强其特殊的博士前计划。该项目的教职员工包括西苏里州立大学校园内的11名教员，他们目前在NIH资助的研究项目中拥有超过1400万美元的资金。在短短4年的时间里，该项目已有4名学生完成了学位论文，8名学生完成了S硕士论文。此外，学生们还出版了30份出版物和68份会议报告，并获得了多个国家级奖项。该计划的优势在于对培训资源的承诺，教师对指导的承诺，以及丰富的城市环境，学生可以在其中参与所有方面的研究。在这笔为期5年的赠款和IOG的配套资金的帮助下，20名学员将获得老年学专业知识，并参与尖端研究。这些技能将使西德克萨斯州立大学的学员成为老龄化和城市健康方面的知名学者。

DESCRIPTION: (from abstract) The WSU gerontology research training program in aging and urban health seeks funding to enhance its exceptional predoctoral program. The program faculty consist of 11 faculty across the WSU campus who have over 14 million dollars in current NIH funded research projects. In just 4 years, the program is credited with 4 students completing dissertations and 8 students completing master s thesis. In addition, students have produced 30 publications and 68 conference presentations, as well as been recognized with several national awards. The strengths of the program lie in the commitment of resources to training, the commitment of faculty to mentorship, and the rich urban environment in which students participate in all aspects of research. With the assistance of this 5 year grant, and matching funds from the IOG, 20 trainees will acquire expertise in gerontology, and participate in cutting edge research. These skills will allow WSU trainees to become prominent scholars in aging and urban health.
