Training in the Epidemiology of Aging
Description: Project Narrative This proposal for the competing continuation of the University of Pittsburgh Training Program in the epidemiology of aging, funded by the NIA since 1989, is focused on the “Epidemiology of Musculoskeletal Decline and Disability in Aging.” The training program will include 3 pre- doctoral and 2 post-doctoral positions in epidemiology. Our rich multidisciplinary training environment is customized to the background of each trainee to address novel approaches in aging research with an emphasis on cutting-edge biological and physiological methods for epidemiology, a core discipline for research and practice in public health, for the goal of improving the musculoskeletal health and physical function of our aging population.
