Academic Leadership Career Award

计划摘要/摘要 最近的首脑会议和国家报告强调，在以下情况下需要更严格的方法 设计、评估和传播/实施痴呆症护理干预措施。短期职业生涯 这一学术领导力职业生涯奖的目标是进一步发展我在 开发并成功提供先进行为的痴呆症护理干预科学 痴呆症护理干预设计(ABIDDC)计划，面向博士后和博士后实习生(n=12)。 通过成功地建立和交付ABIDDC，我将更好地实现我的长期职业生涯 目标：在明尼苏达大学(UMN)创建和领导可持续的基础设施 培养新的/早期研究人员，作为痴呆症护理干预的国家资源 科学。K07的具体目标如下：1)创建和提供研究生课程 先进的痴呆症护理干预科学；2)建立强有力的指导计划，支持早期职业生涯 痴呆症护理科学方面的研究人员；以及3)利用UMN现有的支持来定位受训人员 在痴呆症护理科学领域取得成功的独立职业生涯。如果建议的K07的目标得以实现，我 预期在提供必要的基础设施、培训和支持方面发挥领导作用 在全美培养一支由早期职业调查人员和其他调查人员组成的队伍，他们准备 进行最先进的痴呆症护理科学。

Program Summary/Abstract Recent summits and national reports have emphasized the need for more rigorous methodology when designing, evaluating, and disseminating/implementing dementia care interventions. The short-term career objective of this Academic Leadership Career Award is to further develop my expertise and leadership in dementia care intervention science by developing and successfully delivering the Advanced Behavioral Intervention Design in Dementia Care (ABIDDC) program to pre-doctoral and post-doctoral trainees (n = 12). By successfully building and delivering the ABIDDC, I will be better positioned to achieve my long-term career objective: the creation and leadership of sustained infrastructure at the University of Minnesota (UMN) that cultivates new/early stage investigators and serves as a national resource for dementia care intervention science. The Specific Aims of the K07 are as follows: 1) Create and deliver a graduate curricula in advanced dementia care intervention science; 2) Establish a robust mentoring program to support early career investigators in dementia care science; and 3) Leverage existing support at UMN to position trainees to launch successful, independent careers in dementia care science. If the Aims of the proposed K07 are achieved, I anticipate assuming a leadership role in providing the infrastructure, training, and support necessary to cultivate a cadre of early career investigators and other investigators across the U.S. who are prepared to conduct state-of-the-art dementia care science.
