Geroscience Education and Training (GET) Network

项目摘要/总结 到目前为止，老龄化是慢性病的主要风险因素，慢性病共同导致大多数发病率，死亡率和死亡率。 医疗保健费用。老年科学指导的疗法寻求通过靶向治疗来缓解这些疾病 基本的衰老过程现在正进入早期临床试验阶段。发现、验证和 将这种转化疗法实施到常规临床护理中将需要创建一个强大的 多样化的老年科学工作队伍和培训渠道。本申请的重点是解决人力问题， 培训，以及在2017年关于这一主题的会议上确定的教育差距， Geroscience Network R24 grant（AG 044396），研究结果发表在JAGS（纽曼等人，2019年）。 我们现在建议通过以下途径建立NIA老年科学教育和培训网络： R25供资机制（PAR-20-095）作为转化老年科学的补充“姐妹”网络 网络（TGN; R33 AG 061456），因为本提案中概述的教育、课程和培训目标 不适合包含在R33补助金中。更具体地说，我们建议建立一个网络模型， 旨在利用和整合多个机构的相关专业知识、知识和资源 为实现以下具体目标： 目标1：编制共享的老年科学课程和教材，最初针对： 1A.医疗和1B。博士生需要基本的老年科学知识，无论职业计划如何 1C.需要更深层次老年科学知识的老年医学研究员 目标2：开发老年科学研究计划证书，以培养下一代老年科学 研究人员提供多学科培训的老年科学。 轨道1将解决基础科学家的具体培训需求 轨道2将侧重于临床医生和其他人进行人类受试者研究。这种跨机构 该方案将向所有希望从事老年科学事业的合格学员开放。 目标3：确保通过该奖项编制的教育材料得到最佳传播。 3A.录像讲座和其他教育材料将张贴在POGOe与反馈调查 3B.我们的长期目标是在UpToDate®中创建一个老年科学部分-一个基于证据的，持续的 更新资源，以确保本NIA奖项的生命周期之后的可持续性

PROJECT ABSTRACT/SUMMARY Aging is by far the main risk factor for chronic conditions that jointly account for most morbidity, mortality, and health care costs. Geroscience-guided therapies seeking to alleviate such disorders as a group by targeting basic aging processes are now entering early stage clinical trials. The discovery, validation, and implementation into routine clinical care of such transformational therapies will require the creation of a robust and diverse geroscience workforce and training pipeline. The focus of this application is to address manpower, training, and educational gaps that were identified at a 2017 conference on this topic funded by an earlier Geroscience Network R24 grant (AG044396) with findings published in JAGS (Newman et al., 2019). We are now proposing to create the NIA Geroscience Education and Training (GET) Network through the R25 funding mechanism (PAR-20-095) as a complementary “sister” network to the Translational Geroscience Network (TGN; R33 AG061456), since educational, curricular, and training goals outlined in this proposal were not suitable for inclusion in a R33 grant. More specifically, we are proposing the creation of a network model designed to leverage and integrate relevant expertise, knowledge, and resources across multiple institutions and organizations to address the following Specific Aims: Aim 1: Develop shared geroscience curricula and educational materials initially targeting: 1A. Medical and 1B. PhD students needing foundational geroscience knowledge irrespective of career plans 1C. Geriatric Medicine Fellows who require a deeper level of geroscience knowledge Aim 2: Develop a Certificate in Geroscience Research Program to train the next generation of geroscience researchers by offering multidisciplinary training in geroscience. Track 1 will address the specific training needs of basic scientists Track 2 will focus on clinicians and others conducting human subject research. This cross-institutional program would be accessible to all eligible trainees wishing to pursue a career in geroscience. Aim 3: Ensure optimal dissemination of the educational materials developed through this award. 3A. Videotaped lectures and other educational materials will be posted on POGOe with feedback surveys 3B. Our longer-range goal is to create a Geroscience Section in UpToDate®–an evidence-based, continually updated resource to ensure sustainability beyond the life of this NIA award
