Project Summary/Abstract Minorities remain underrepresented in aging-research-related professions, including demography and economics of aging, health, and health care. In health services research (HSR), which studies the organization, financing, and delivery of health care and provides an evidence base that is central to addressing issues of care quality, access, affordability, and equity, Blacks and Hispanics accounting for only 6.9% and 3.7%, respectively, of the HSR workforce.[1] In economics there has been an almost 20-year stagnation in the number of degrees, Bachelors or Doctorate, awarded to women and underrepresented minorities, despite improvements in other STEM fields.[2] Yet underrepresented researchers bring essential diverse perspectives and, often, personal experiences to bear in understanding the social, economic, political, and environmental determinants of racial and ethnic disparities in health and health care. Pipeline programs in aging are critical to providing more diversity in the workforce as well as to developing creative, culturally appropriate and sensitive solutions to issues associated with racial and ethnic health disparities in aging populations. We propose a new pipeline program, Get Experience in Aging Research Undergraduate Program (GEAR UP), in order to develop talented underrepresented minorities seeking research careers with a focus in the demography and economics of aging, health, and health care, and particularly health disparities in diverse communities. Building on the innovations in Penn’s Population Aging and Research Center (PARC) and the Leonard Davis Institute of Health Economics’ (LDI’s) infrastructure for research, collaboration, and undergraduate training, we aim to enhance the diversity of the research workforce in the demography and economics of aging, health, and health care by providing exciting mentored research experiences to undergraduates for two consecutive summers, supplemented with programming throughout the academic year. This 15-month program provides students an opportunity to grow and enhance the skills in their toolbox, enrich their relationships with mentors and colleagues, and get more deeply involved and committed to aging research. The goal of this program is to motivate undergraduate scholars to dedicate their lives to addressing societal problems through research.

项目总结/摘要 少数群体在与老龄化研究有关的专业，包括人口学和 老龄化、健康和医疗保健的经济学。在卫生服务研究（HSR）中， 组织，融资和提供医疗保健，并提供证据基础，这是解决 在医疗质量、可及性、可负担性和公平性问题上，黑人和西班牙裔仅占6.9%， 分别占HSR劳动力的3.7%。[1]在经济学方面， 妇女和代表人数不足的少数民族获得学士或博士学位的人数， 在其他STEM领域的改进。[2]然而，代表性不足的研究人员带来了必要的多样化观点， 而且，在理解社会、经济、政治和环境方面， 卫生和保健方面种族和族裔差异的决定因素。 在老龄化的管道计划是至关重要的，以提供更多的多样性，在劳动力以及发展 以创造性、文化上适当和敏感的方式解决与种族和族裔健康有关的问题 人口老龄化的差距。我们提出了一个新的管道计划，获得老龄化研究的经验 本科课程（GEAR UP），以培养有才华的代表性不足的少数民族寻求 研究职业，重点是老龄化，健康和医疗保健的人口学和经济学，以及 特别是不同社区的健康差异。建立在宾夕法尼亚州人口老龄化的创新基础上 和研究中心（PARC）和伦纳德戴维斯卫生经济学研究所（LDI）的基础设施， 研究，合作和本科生培训，我们的目标是提高研究队伍的多样性 通过提供令人兴奋的指导研究，在老龄化、健康和医疗保健的人口学和经济学方面取得了重大进展。 经验，本科生连续两个夏天，辅以整个编程 学年。这个为期15个月的计划为学生提供了一个成长和提高技能的机会， 他们的工具箱，丰富他们与导师和同事的关系，并更深入地参与， 致力于衰老研究该计划的目标是激励本科学者致力于他们的 通过研究解决社会问题。
