Research Development Core

俄克拉荷马州内森休克中心的研究开发核心是一个创新的出发点， 内森冲击中心的类似核心的传统结构。研究开发核心通常支持 学术机构内使用固定货币试点的有限数量的初级教员（2-4） 赔偿金（例如25，000 - 50，000美元）。俄克拉荷马州内森休克中心的发展核心旨在 为科学界提供前所未有的服务和推广。我们在上一次融资中的目标 在此期间，a）全国各地进行老龄化研究的调查人员数量增加， 提供资金，以获得一系列高度相关和专门的技术，这些技术通常不存在于 个人实验室，以及B）帮助开发的教育、指导和协作资源 和/或过渡到，在衰老和年龄相关疾病的生物学（老年科学）的独立职业生涯。 这些目标，最初由我们的中心制定，已经非常成功，并已被采纳， 现在是所有内森电击中心的标准提出了研究发展的三个目标 核心：目标1。* 支持为有兴趣在非洲从事研究的年轻研究人员开展的试点/可行性项目。 衰老生物学; a.俄克拉荷马州以外的调查人员将通过内森休克中心得到支持， B.俄克拉荷马州的调查人员将在很大程度上得到当地资金来源的支持。目标二。提供 为对老年科学感兴趣的中级和高级研究人员提供合作机会，例如研究人员 具有与衰老相关的疾病的经验，但在进行衰老研究方面经验有限。目的 3.a.向老龄化社区传播新技术B。培训研究人员的最佳做法，和C。 评估研发核心的优势和劣势。发展核心的目标 利用OUHSC/OMRF/VAMC老年科学中心提供的资源， 和地方资助机构。根据通过我们的网站、国家会议和直接 与个人联系有关赠款奖励（NIA/AFAR），我们希望， Development Core将被全国各地的调查人员广泛使用，并将推动老龄化领域的发展 和老年科学研究。我们预计，这一新颖的计划将是变革性的推进职业生涯 青年科学家和整合中级和高级科学家的老年科学研究。

The Research Development Core of the Oklahoma Nathan Shock Center is an innovative departure from the traditional structure of similar cores in Nathan Shock Centers. Research Development Cores generally support a limited number of junior faculty members (2-4) within the academic institution using a fixed monetary pilot award (e.g. $25,000-50,000). The Development Core of the Oklahoma Nathan Shock Center is designed to provide unprecedented service and outreach to the scientific community. Our goal during the previous funding period was to increase a) the number of investigators across the country that conduct research in aging by providing funded access to a series of highly relevant and specialized technologies not often present within an individual laboratory, and b) educational, mentoring, and collaborative resources that aide in the development of, and/or transition to, an independent career in the biology of aging and age-related disease (geroscience). These goals, originally developed by our center have been highly successful, and have been adopted by, and are now the standard for, all Nathan Shock Centers. Three goals are proposed for the Research Development Core: Aim 1. Support pilot/feasibility projects for young investigators interested in conducting research in the biology of aging; a. investigators outside of Oklahoma will be supported through the Nathan Shock Center, and b. investigators inside of Oklahoma will be supported, in large part, through local funding sources. Aim 2. Provide collaborative opportunities for mid-level and senior investigators with interests in Geroscience e.g. investigators with experience in diseases associated with aging but with limited experience in conducting aging research. Aim 3.a. Disseminate novel technologies to the aging community b. Train researchers in best practices, and c. Evaluate strengths and weaknesses of the Research Development Core. The goals of the Development Core are highly leveraged using resources available to us from the Center for GeroScience, OUHSC/OMRF/VAMC and local funding agencies. Based on information provided through our website, at national meetings and direct contact with individuals regarding grant awards (NIA/AFAR), we expect that the unique services of the Development Core will be widely used by investigators across the country and will advance the field of aging and geroscience research. We expect that this novel program will be transformative for advancing the careers of young scientists and integrating mid-level and senior scientists to Geroscience research.
