Individualized Care for at Risk Older Adults

描述（由申请人提供）：自2007年启动以来，美国国家护理研究所（NINR）资助的机构NRSA培训项目在宾夕法尼亚大学护理学院（Penn Nursing）成功培养了一批新的护士科学家（6名博士毕业生和10名博士后研究人员），他们现在积极从事学术事业，推进与过渡和老龄化相关的科学研究。另外七名学生预计将在未来两年内完成他们的护理博士学位。这一更新申请的主要目标是培养额外的高素质的护士科学家，他们将产生，传播和转化新的知识，以独特的重点改善护理经验，健康和生活质量，越来越多的慢性病老年人在健康和医疗保健方面经历了共同和困难的转变。除了培养学者应对与帮助日益多样化和脆弱的人口实现其健康目标相关的重大人力和经济挑战外，这一更新将：利用项目教师在科学方面的强大基础，建立在宾夕法尼亚大学护理研究中心（新考特兰过渡与健康中心和老年综合科学中心）的教师之间的既定合作基础上，采用创新的跨专业指导和培训模式，吸引宾夕法尼亚大学的杰出学者，为学员提供学习复杂和新兴研究方法的无与伦比的机会，并将新的重点放在培养未来的学者，他们可以严格地将科学转化为对临床实践和卫生政策产生影响。在这五年的续期中，每年将任命四名博士预科生和四名博士后研究员。拟议的培训计划的目标与nir的每个战略重点以及卫生和人类服务部优化患有多种慢性疾病的个人的健康和生活质量的战略目标保持一致

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Since launched in 2007, Individualized Care for At-Risk Older Adults, a National Institute of Nursing Research (NINR)-funded institutional NRSA training program based at the University of Pennsylvania School of Nursing (Penn Nursing) has successfully prepared a cadre of new nurse scientists (six PhD graduates and 10 postdoctoral research fellows) who now are actively pursuing scholarly careers and advancing science related to transitions and aging. An additional seven students are expected to complete their doctoral degrees in nursing within the next two years. The primary goal of this renewal application is to train additional highly qualified nurse scientists who will generate, disseminat and translate new knowledge with a unique focus on improving the care experience, health and quality of life outcomes of a growing population of chronically ill older adults as they experienc common and difficult transitions in health and healthcare. In addition to preparing scholars to address the significant human and economic challenges associated with assisting this increasingly diverse and vulnerable population to achieve their health goals, this renewal will: capitalize on the strong foundation in science contributed by program faculty members, build upon an established collaboration between faculty members in two of Penn Nursing's research centers (the New Courtland Center for Transitions and Health and the Center for Integrative Science in Aging), employ innovative inter-professional mentorship and training models that engage preeminent scholars throughout Penn, offer trainees unparalleled opportunities to learn sophisticated and emerging research methods, and place a new emphasis in preparing future scholars who can rigorously translate science to have an impact on clinical practice and health policy. During this five year renewal, four pre-doctoral students and four postdoctoral research fellows will be appointed annually. The goals of the proposed training program align with each of NINR's strategic priorities as well as the Department of Health and Human Services' strategic goal of optimizing the health and quality of life for individuals with multiple chronic conditions
