Accelerating translation of knowledge to community practices for older adults.

描述（由申请人提供）：此R13应用程序请求部分支持两个研讨会，这将是由美国老年学会（GSA）和约翰A。哈特福德老年社会工作倡议（HGSWI）。系列中的每个讲习班将审查一个代表社区实践竞技场的主题，在社区实践中，各组织有可能广泛实施循证干预措施。因此，在所有主题中，研讨会的目标是：1）评估和澄清转化研究的状态，并确定“转化”的下一个逻辑步骤，无论是治疗开发，治疗适应，实施还是传播研究; 2）从社区合作伙伴的角度确定翻译工作的机遇和挑战;以及3）探索跨学科和机构合作伙伴关系以推进这项工作。专家在传播和实施科学，老年学家目前参与翻译研究的主题，并代表以社区为基础的观点将出席。前两个讲习班将作为2013年和2014年全球服务协会年会的会前讲习班提供，其主题是痴呆症患者和老年残疾人的家庭关怀。随后的主题可能包括虐待老年人，脆弱的老年工人， 临终关怀和GLBT老年人，将由PI和顾问最终确定。参与者将 向GSA成员征求，特别关注哈特福德老年社会工作倡议和少数民族老龄化研究资源中心的成员。预算编列的资金用于支助每个讲习班8名初级调查员，他们还将参加开幕招待会期间的海报宣传活动。每个讲习班的成果包括在全球服务管理局一般方案中举行一次专题讨论会，并广泛分发讲习班会议记录和结论摘要。我们还打算根据前两项建议编写一份出版物 工作坊.这些研讨会将提高参与者的能力，以成功地响应越来越多的要求翻译工作，如NIA的PA 11-123和PAS 11-281和NIH的PAR 10-038。我们认为，该项目在几个方面是独一无二的：选择一系列与社区实践高度相关的主题;向国家专家学习实施和传播科学;磨练翻译工作的现状;并确保社区组织的观点。虽然已经有许多关于这些老龄化主题的会议，但我们不认为有其他会议以这种方式处理将知识转化为实践的问题。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This R13 application requests partial support for two workshops that will be the first of a series offered by The Gerontological Society of America (GSA) and the John A. Hartford Geriatric Social Work Initiative (HGSWI). Each workshop in the series will examine a topic representing an arena of community-based practice where organizations have the potential to widely implement evidence- based interventions. Knowledge on each topic will be at a different point of development for improving care in real-world settings Thus, across all topics, the workshop objectives are to: 1) assess and clarify the state of translational research and identify the next logical steps "in translation," whether that be treatment development, treatment adaptation, implementation or dissemination research; 2) identify opportunities and challenges for translational work from the perspective of community partners; and 3) explore interdisciplinary and agency partnerships to move this work forward. Experts in dissemination and implementation science, gerontologists currently involved in translational studies on the topic, and representatives of the community- based perspective will present. The topics of the first two workshops, to be offered as preconference workshops at the GSA annual conferences in 2013 and 2014, are family caregiving to persons with dementia and aging with disability. Subsequent topics will likely include elder abuse, vulnerable older workers, end-of-life care, and GLBT older adults, to be finalized by the PIs and advisors. Participants will be solicited from GSA members with a particular focus on members of the Hartford Geriatric Social Work Initiative and the Resource Centers for Minority Aging Research. Funds are budgeted to support eight junior investigators per workshop, who will also participate in a poster event in conjunction with an opening reception. Outcomes for each workshop include a symposium in the general GSA program and a summary of the workshop's proceedings and findings to be distributed widely. We also aim to produce a publication deriving from the first two workshops. These workshops will increase participants' capacity to successfully respond to the growing number of calls for translational work, like NIA's PA 11-123 and PAS 11-281 and NIH's PAR 10-038. We believe that this project is unique in several ways: selecting a series of topics highly relevant to community-based practice; learning from national experts on implementation and dissemination science; honing in on the current state of translational work; and ensuring the perspective of community-based organizations. Although there have been many conferences on these aging topics, we do not believe that there have been other conferences that have approached the problem of moving knowledge into practice in this fashion.
