According to Clin-STAR, the goal of this funding is to \u201cstimulate new collaborations focused on the development of clinical aging research projects.\u201d By encouraging junior and senior researchers from different disciplines and institutions to come together, these Pilot Grants can stimulate new areas of age-related research.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, Clin-STAR invited Dr. Lynch to attend the meeting in San Diego this November.

His long-term research goal is improving older adults&#8217; physical function and quality of life through targeted interventions that address and change causal biological pathways.<\/p>\n<p>According to Dr. Lynch\u2019s abstract, \u201cDeclining muscle strength in older adults (age 65 years and up) is significant for patients and healthcare systems. It reduces independence and quality of life and increases the risk of hospitalization and mortality.\u201d He says that despite advances in understanding the various mechanisms leading to weakness. Dr. Lynch also states that we still lack targeted treatments that focus on weakness\u2019 root causes and improve clinical outcomes. In addition, he highlights the limited success of one-size-fits-all interventions, an issue he plans to address in his research.<\/p>\n<h3>Learn More<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/clin-star.org\/pilot-grants\">Clin-STAR Pilot Grants<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nia.nih.gov\/research\/osp\/butler-williams-scholars-program\">Butler-Williams Scholars Program<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dr. David Lynch,\u00a0assistant professor in the Division of Geriatrics, was recently selected for a Clin-STAR Pilot Grant.
