Research Education Component (REC)

项目概要-研究教育部分（REC） REC的总体目标是解决未满足的研究培训需求， 在不断增长的老龄化研究人员群体中， 实施干预措施，增强老年人的身体复原力。利用新方案， 在杜克大学的合作，REC将有意扩大翻译老化研究人员的社区， 包括生物行为研究人员、健康差异研究人员和卫生服务研究人员。建立 在这个社区的专业韧性，REC将协调老龄化研究课程结合 有很多机会获得反馈、网络和同伴支持。该课程旨在 提高制定复杂干预措施、招募和留住不同人群的能力， 减少健康差距。(Aim 1）。此外，区域环境中心将在以下社区内培训和支持导师： 老年研究人员，以提高跨学科的转化研究指导的质量。到 为实现这一目标，区域环境中心将举办一个循证指导培训讲习班，以解决 老化研究(Aim 2）。最后，REC将提供指导性的研究经验，以准备一个多样化的 一组老龄化研究人员通过职业发展奖和胡椒专注于身体恢复力 种子奖。(Aim 3）。所有REC课程都基于社会建构主义成人教育理论， 学习者积极参与解决跨学科的复杂问题。评价办法 评估学习者的参与程度和学习对其研究的直接影响。认识到 迫切需要发展和支持来自代表性不足群体的研究人员，REC将与 杜克医疗保健公平研究中心（REACH EQUITY），杜克CTSI KL 2计划，以及 附近的历史黑人学院/大学，北卡罗来纳州中央大学。能够利用 机构资源将显著增强REC计划的影响。杜克领导人的支持是 由医学院院长为REC学者提供匹配资金的承诺证明， 系主任，并由医学院院长REC发起的座谈会的资金。

PROJECT SUMMARY – Research Education Component (REC) The overall objective of the REC is to address unmet research training needs and build professional resilience within the growing community of aging researchers in order to accelerate the discovery and implementation of interventions enhancing physical resilience in older adults. Leveraging new programs and collaborations at Duke, REC will intentionally expand the community of translational aging researchers to include biobehavioral researchers, health disparities researchers, and health services researchers. To build professional resilience within this community, REC will coordinate an aging research curriculum combined with multiple opportunities for feedback, networking, and peer support. The curriculum is designed to enhance competencies in developing complex interventions, recruiting and retaining diverse populations, and reducing health disparities. (Aim 1). Further, the REC will train and support mentors within the community of aging researchers to enhance the quality of translational research mentoring across disciplines. To accomplish this, the REC will adapt an evidence-based mentor training workshop to address specific issues in aging research. (Aim 2). Finally, the REC will provide mentored research experiences to prepare a diverse group of aging researchers focusing on physical resilience through Career Development Awards and Pepper Seed Awards. (Aim 3). All REC programs are based in Social Constructivist adult education theory, with learners actively engaged in solving complex problems with others across disciplines. Evaluation approaches assess the level of learner engagement and direct impact of the learning on their research. Recognizing the critical need to develop and support researchers from underrepresented groups, REC will partner with the Duke Center for Research to Address Healthcare Equity (REACH EQUITY), the Duke CTSI KL2 program, and a nearby Historically Black College/University, North Carolina Central University. The ability to leverage institutional resources will markedly enhance the impact of the REC program. Support by Duke’s leaders is demonstrated by the commitment for matching funds for REC scholars by the School of Medicine Dean and Department Chairs, and the funding of the REC-initiated Colloquia by the School of Medicine Dean.
