Research Development Core

俄克拉荷马州内森休克中心的研究开发核心是对 内森冲击中心类似核心的传统结构。研究开发核心通常支持 在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人) 奖励(例如25,000-50,000美元)。俄克拉荷马州内森休克中心的开发核心旨在 为科学界提供前所未有的服务和外展服务。我们在之前的资助中的目标 这段时间是为了增加a)全国范围内进行老龄化研究的调查人员的数量 提供对一系列高度相关的专门技术的资金访问，这些技术通常不会出现在 个人实验室，以及b)帮助开发的教育、指导和协作资源 属于和/或过渡到衰老生物学和与年龄相关的疾病(老年学)的独立职业。 这些最初由我们中心制定的目标非常成功，并已被 现在是所有内森休克中心的标准。提出了研究发展的三个目标 核心：目标1.支持有兴趣在以下领域开展研究的年轻研究人员的试点/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，以及 俄克拉荷马州境内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2.提供 为对老年科学感兴趣的中高级调查人员(例如调查人员)提供合作机会 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。目标 3.a.向老龄社区传播新技术；b.对研究人员进行最佳实践培训； 评估研发核心的优势和劣势。发展核心的目标 利用OUHSC/OMRF/VAMC老年科学中心向我们提供的资源，高度利用 和当地的资助机构。基于通过我们的网站提供的信息，在全国会议上和直接 就奖助金(NIA/FAAR)与个人联系，我们希望 Development Core将被全国各地的调查人员广泛使用，并将推进老龄化领域 和老年科学研究。我们期待这个新颖的项目将对促进职业发展起到变革性的作用 鼓励青年科学家参与老年科学研究，并将中高级科学家纳入老年科学研究。

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.
