## Abstract

PROJECT SUMMARY
The Clinical Research Core (RC1) is key to the success of the University of Florida (UF) Older Americans
Independence Center (OAIC). The RC1 provides the resources and expertise for conducting clinical research
across the spectrum of investigation of clinical trials as well as observational studies of risk and outcomes
related to mobility and the prevention of disability. Its primary goal is to encourage and facilitate clinical
translational research in this area.
The RC1 has three Specific Aims:
Aim 1: Provide the resources and intellectual environment to facilitate clinical research, team science, and
OAIC Junior Scholars' education related to mobility and the prevention of disability.
Aim 2: Promote and facilitate the translation of preclinical and pilot studies into clinical trials in older persons.
Aim 3: Improve our understanding of behavioral, cognitive, and physiological factors that may affect responses
to interventions designed to improve mobility and prevent disability in older adults.
The RC1 functions as the central hub to which the expertise, data and products of all OAIC cores converge to
produce research projects ranging from pilot/ exploratory and developmental projects, to larger Phase II, III,
and IV efficacy and effectiveness trials related to mobility and prevention of disability.The RC1 provides
resources and personnel (including U01- and R01-funded investigators) to support the development and
implementation of clinical trials. These include pharmacologic, nutritional, and behavioral interventions, and
observational studies of the causes of mobility impairment in older adults and the implications for functional
decline and disability. Building on close collaborations with other OAIC cores, the RC1 will support
pilot/exploratory projects, developmental projects, and external projects. In addition, senior-level investigators
with established track record will serve as career-development mentors to lead these projects, provide
expertise, and promote a rich environment for junior-faculty research as well as senior-faculty collaboration.
