## Abstract

Project Summary/Abstract
This is an application for a 5-year renewal of an institutional training grant in the Epidemiology and Biostatistics
of Aging, funded by NIA since 1996. This interdisciplinary program aims to train outstanding predoctoral and
postdoctoral candidates to lead the next generation of quantitative research scientists addressing the health of
our aging population. It is led jointly by epidemiologists and biostatisticians with a strong commitment to
bringing together students in both disciplines to develop expertise in the content areas and methodologies
essential to advancing gerontology. Students are trained to conduct leading-edge research that can inform the
development of prevention programs to compress morbidity in the aging population. The program is sponsored
by the Departments of Epidemiology, Biostatistics, and Mental Health in the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School
of Public Health. It involves faculty from these departments and others in our Schools of Public Health,
Medicine, Nursing, and—new to this cycle—Engineering. A Program Director in Biostatistics, Co-Directors from
Biostatistics, Epidemiology, and Mental Health, 4 other Associate Directors, and 24 other Core Faculty
members will serve as mentors for the trainees. We propose to maintain our current program size of 8
predoctoral / 2 postdoctoral positions, in numbers balanced across our sponsoring departments. We will
support postdoctoral fellows at experience level 0, and those with clinical backgrounds seeking advanced
research degree training, at level 5. We will target a 3-4 year duration for each predoctoral trainee and a two-
year duration for each postdoctoral trainee. A core curriculum is expected of predoctoral trainees and
customized to postdoctoral trainees. Trainees will continue to participate in biweekly research in progress
meetings, seminars on aging, practica specific to this program, and training to build skills in interdisciplinary
collaboration. Didactic and caree
