Qual Ageing Older Adults. 2021 Oct 11;22(2):75-80. doi: 10.1108/qaoa-01-2021-0012. Epub 2021 Mar 22.
PURPOSE –: Individuals over age 65 represent the fastest-growing segment of the population, yet they are also the least studied group and are most likely to be excluded from research most likely to apply to them. A significant reason for this deficit has been a dearth of scientists and clinicians to care for and study the many diseases that impact older adults.
DESIGN/METHODOLOGY/APPROACH –: In this manuscript, the difficulties associated with raising new generations of researchers in aging and offer suggestions for how early-stage clinician-scientists can foster career development in aging are discussed. This paper draws upon a local example, ARIES, to explain how early-stage investigators can be brought together with the goal of creating a pipeline of future leaders in aging research.
FINDINGS –: The model may empower more early-stage clinicians to successfully pursue aging research.
ORIGINALITY/VALUE –: The current success of aging researchers in the early stages serves as a model for creating similar career development programs designed for early-stage researchers in aging.
65岁以上的人群是人口中增长最快的部分，但他们也是研究最少的群体，而且最有可能被排除在最适用于他们的研究之外。造成这种不足的一个重要原因是缺乏科学家和临床医生来照顾和研究影响老年人的多种疾病。
设计/方法/途径：在本手稿中，讨论了培养新一代衰老研究人员所面临的困难，并就早期临床医生-科学家如何促进衰老研究领域的职业发展提出了建议。本文以一个本地实例“衰老研究早期 investigator 支持项目（ARIES）”为例，解释如何将早期研究人员聚集在一起，目标是打造一条衰老研究未来领导者的人才输送渠道。
该模式可能使更多早期临床医生成功从事衰老研究。
原创性/价值：目前早期衰老研究人员的成功为创建类似的针对衰老研究早期人员的职业发展项目树立了榜样。
