项目摘要/摘要-分析核心 深南RCMAR的主要目标是增加调查人员的数量和多样性 进行与少数群体老龄化和健康差距有关的独立研究的能力。这项研究 深南RCMAR的重点是缩小非洲裔美国人和非西班牙裔美国人之间的健康差距 南方腹地的白人老年人，这是美国大多数老年非裔美国人的地区 生活和健康方面的差距一直特别持久。分析核心(ANC)将支持这一愿景 通过在以下领域为科学家提供指导和培训，促进深南区域气候变化和气候变化研究 与健康差距和少数民族老龄化有关的方法、测量和二次数据分析。这个 ANC将通过利用我们四家公司的现有专业知识、数据资源和基础设施来实现这一目标 合作机构(阿拉巴马大学伯明翰分校、塔斯基吉莫尔豪斯医学院 大学和阿拉巴马大学)。非国大的目标包括三个方面的战略。首先，我们将 与研究教育部门(REC)和社区联络和招聘核心部门合作 (CLRC)指导和培训科学家有关健康研究的方法和测量技术 南方腹地老年非裔美国人的差异。这将包括：a)进行方法培训， 衡量和次级数据分析，重点是健康差距/少数群体老龄化；以及b)促进 科学家与深部现有的方法学、生物统计学和分析资源的联系 南RCMAR。第二，我们将与区域经济合作委员会和中国科学院合作，指导和培训科学家 使用社会行为、经济、临床和遗传数据进行二次数据分析，目的是 为制定和评估干预措施提供信息，以解决非洲老年人之间的健康差距 在南方腹地的美国人。这将包括：a)在分析二级数据方面进行培训， 专注于具有深南RCMAR专业知识的数据；以及b)促进指导科学家分析 通过建立由深南RCMAR高级和初级调查人员组成的工作组提供二级数据 拥有与少数族裔老龄化和健康差距相关的数据集方面的专业知识。最后，我们将与 在传播文化敏感措施和二级数据方面的国家区域协调中心 与少数族裔老龄化相关的分析技术。

Project Summary/Abstract – Analysis Core The Deep South RCMAR’s primary objective is to increase both the number and diversity of investigators with the capacity to conduct independent research related to minority aging and health disparities. The research focus of the Deep South RCMAR is on reducing health disparities between African American and non-Hispanic White older adults in the Deep South, the region of the country where the majority of older African Americans live and health disparities have been particularly persistent. The Analysis Core (AnC) will support the vision and activities of the Deep South RCMAR by providing mentoring and training of Scientists in the areas of methods, measurement, and secondary data analysis as it relates to health disparities and minority aging. The AnC will achieve this goal by leveraging existing expertise, data resources, and infrastructure at our four partnering institutions (The University of Alabama at Birmingham, Morehouse School of Medicine, Tuskegee University, and The University of Alabama). The AnC aims consist of a three-fold strategy. First, we will collaborate with the Research Education Component (REC) and the Community Liaison and Recruitment Core (CLRC) to mentor and train Scientists in methods and measurement techniques related to the study of health disparities of older African Americans in the Deep South. This will include: a) conducting training in methods, measurement, and secondary data analysis focused on health disparities/minority aging; and b) facilitating linkage of Scientists with methodological, biostatistical, and analytical resources available within the Deep South RCMAR. Second, in collaboration with the REC and the CLRC, we will mentor and train Scientists in the conduct of secondary data analyses using sociobehavioral, economic, clinical, and genetic data, with the goal of informing the development and evaluation of interventions to address health disparities among older African Americans in the Deep South. This will include: a) conducting training in the analysis of secondary data with a focus on data with Deep South RCMAR expertise; and b) facilitating mentoring of Scientists in the analysis of secondary data by establishing workgroups comprised of Deep South RCMAR senior and junior investigators with expertise in datasets relevant to minority aging and health disparities. Finally, we will collaborate with the national RCMAR Coordinating Center in the dissemination of culturally sensitive measures and secondary data analysis techniques relevant to minority aging.
