## Abstract

Reid Aging and Pain Research Training Program
The specific aim of this Midcareer Investigator Award in Patient-Oriented Research is to provide the Principal
Investigator with sufficient time to: 1) expand and maintain a premier program in patient-oriented research
related to later life pain and palliative care that attracts a steady stream of trainees interested in patient
oriented research careers and produces the next generation of leaders in aging research that work to improve
care and care outcomes among older adults; 2) measurably expand his research activities directed at
developing, testing, and disseminating innovative strategies to improve pain and pain-related outcomes in
older adults and building capacity to deliver palliative care services to underserved older adults; 3) participate
in career development activities (e.g., leadership skills training programs) that help to expand his skills and
ability to provide expert mentorship; and 4) obtain new funding to support research that capitalizes on his
completed and ongoing research, thereby expanding opportunities to attract and train new mentees throughout
the award period. The candidate's mentorship program will consist of structured educational and career
development experiences. A supervised research experience tailored to the trainees' experience, interests,
and needs will constitute the core mentorship activity. This will be supplemented by access to a rich array of
educational and other career building resources and the development of an individualized training plan along
with regularly scheduled evaluations will help to ensure timely trainee progress and achievement of mutually
agreed upon goals. The Cornell environment offers extensive resources to support the candidate's proposed
research and mentoring programs and will provide a rich array of trainee pipelines. Cornell's NIA-funded
Roybal Center (which the candidate directs) constitutes a major leveraged resource. The development of
investigators from diverse disciplines committed to translational research on the topics of aging and later-life
pain constitutes a core aim of this Center. Investigator development activities include 1) a monthly work-in-
progress seminar series, 2) a pilot study program, and 3) multiple opportunities for trainees to present their
findings during center-sponsored conferences and webinars. Bringing together the career development
resources of the Center with the mentoring resources of the proposed K24 will provide a unique opportunity to
develop a truly exceptional mentoring program.
