Geroscience Education and Training (GET) Network

总结 在开发教育材料和与GET网络咨询委员会会面时， 我经常讨论GET网络的教育边界在哪里可以与现有的 或即将到来的老龄化（基础和临床）和老年科学培训计划。比如说， NIA的衰老生物学部门最近发表了一个批准的概念， 跨NIH老年科学兴趣小组（GSIG）创建“短期教育计划， 一个主要的重点课程，提高和扩大老年科学的技能和发展，在所有 职业发展水平”。这一概念与全球环境行动的使命一致 网络，但独立。同样，其他NIA支持的R25（例如R25AG071488）也是 创建与其他群体高度相关的教育内容或交付方法。我们希望 分享资源，更新我们的进展，并从更广泛的工作人员那里获得投入， 类似的概念，因为我们都有很多东西要学习的长期教育计划在老龄化。 当GSA的首席执行官詹姆斯阿普尔比找到我们时，一个机会出现了， 关于在2022年社会会议上传播GET网络的内容和范围。在我们 通过讨论，我们意识到，不仅仅是展示在GET中完成的工作， 网络，有一个真实的优势，从事调查人员和教育工作者以外的 GET Network.因此，我们要求提供行政补充，以支持 2023年GSA会议的会前研讨会，使我们能够与其他 教育计划，介绍教学和培训计划的关键概念， 老年科学，并传播我们的工作。这与GET的目标直接一致 网络，但代表了额外的工作超出了什么是在母奖提出。 我们将邀请50名跨学科的参与者出席会议，并作为演讲者作出贡献， 讨论者，包括学生、早期职业贡献者和关键利益攸关方。另外我们 计划在同一天为我们的内容和传播委员会成员举行会议。 最后，将选出三名初级教师或博士后记录讨论并参与 在一个单独的白皮书写作务虚会上， 提交给GSA附属期刊。

Summary In developing educational materials and meeting with our GET Network advisory committees we often discuss where the educational boundaries of the GET Network may dovetail with existing or upcoming training programs in aging (both basic and clinical) and geroscience. For example, the NIA's Division of Aging Biology recently published an approved concept informed by the Trans-NIH GeroScience Interest Group (GSIG) to create “short-term educational programs with a primary focus on courses that enhance and expand Geroscience skills and development at all levels of professional career development.” This concept is aligned with the mission of the GET Network, yet independent. Similarly, other NIA-supported R25's (eg, R25AG071488) are also creating educational content or delivery methods highly relevant to other groups. We hope to share resources, update on our progress, and get input from a wider group of people working on similar concepts, as we all have much to learn for long-standing educational programs in aging. An opportunity presented itself when we were approached by the CEO of GSA, James Appleby, about disseminating GET Network content and scope at the society's 2022 meeting. During our discussions, we realized that more than just presenting work completed within the GET Network, there is a real advantage to engaging with investigators and educators beyond the GET Network. We are therefore requesting an administrative supplement to support a preconference workshop at the 2023 GSA meeting to allow us to harmonize with other educational programs, introduce key concepts for teaching and training programs in geroscience, and disseminate our work. This is directly aligned with the goals of the GET Network, but represents additional work beyond what was proposed in the parent award. We will invite 50 interdisciplinary participants to attend and contribute as speakers and discussants, including students, early career contributors and key stakeholders. Additionally, we plan to hold meetings for our Content and Dissemination committee members on the same day. Finally, three junior faculty or postdocs will be selected to record the discussions and participate in a separate whitepaper writing retreat to develop a manuscript of the meeting proceedings for submission to a GSA-affiliated journal.
