PROJECT SUMMARY The dramatic growth of the older adult population in the United States dictates the need to develop and train a biomedical research workforce to address the challenges of population aging. Because population growth among older adults is greatest for racial and ethnic minorities, it is particularly critical to develop scientists with expertise investigating racial and ethnic disparities among older adults. Therefore, the Research Education Component (REC) of the University of Florida (UF) RCMAR aims to establish an innovative research training and mentoring program designed for early career investigators from underrepresented backgrounds who are conducting research addressing our thematic focus of biopsychosocial drivers of pain and disability among older adults. The REC will enact a multimodal recruitment strategy to attract promising investigators from underrepresented backgrounds. Training will emphasize competency-based development of skills for conducting high-impact social and behavioral research addressing biopsychosocial contributions to pain and disability among older adults. The REC will be led by Co-Leaders with extensive experience in training and mentoring early career investigators and will be supported by an outstanding interdisciplinary pool of mentors who are committed to supporting the career development of RCMAR Scientists. To accomplish its goals, the REC will work closely with the other RCMAR Cores and with other UF programs that provide career development support, including the Clinical and Translational Science Institute (CTSI), the UF Older Adults Independence Center (OAIC) Junior Scholars Program, and the Integrative and Multidisciplinary Pain and Aging Research Training (IMPART) Program. Through these efforts, the REC will achieve its overall objective of supporting the advancement of RCMAR Scientists toward becoming independent scientists and future leaders as pain and aging researchers. In order to promote the career development of RCMAR Scientists, the REC will ensure that each RCMAR Scientist is supported by a committed multidisciplinary mentoring team. All RCMAR Scientists will work with their mentoring team to develop an individual development plan (IDP) tailored to their training needs and career goals and objectives. Further, the REC will provide didactic and experiential training tailored to each RCMAR Scientist to facilitate their career development and successful transition to independence and leadership. The REC will also implement a Pilot Studies Program to support RCMAR Scientists' research addressing biopsychosocial contributions to pain and disability among older adults. Finally, the REC will monitor and evaluate the outcomes of its research and career development activities, which will include tracking RCMAR Scientists' publications and future grant awards, as well as evaluating both processes and outcomes of mentoring and career development activities supported by the REC. Successful implementation of the REC will ultimately improve the health of older adults by enhancing the diversity of the aging research workforce and generating important new knowledge regarding the biopsychosocial drivers of and interventions for later life pain and disability.

项目概要 美国老年人口的急剧增长表明需要开发和培训 生物医学研究人员应对人口老龄化的挑战。因为人口增长 老年人对于少数族裔来说是最重要的，培养具有专业知识的科学家尤为重要 调查老年人中的种族和民族差异。因此，研究教育部分 佛罗里达大学（UF）RCMAR（REC）旨在建立创新的研究培训和指导 专为来自代表性不足背景的早期职业调查员而设计的计划 研究的主题是老年人疼痛和残疾的生物心理社会驱动因素。这 REC 将制定多模式招募策略，以吸引来自代表性不足的有前途的研究人员 背景。培训将强调基于能力的技能发展，以开展高影响力的社交活动 以及针对老年人疼痛和残疾的生物心理社会影响的行为研究。这 REC 将由在培训和指导早期职业调查员方面拥有丰富经验的联合领导者领导 并将得到杰出的跨学科导师库的支持，他们致力于支持 RCMAR 科学家的职业发展。为了实现其目标，REC 将与其他机构密切合作 RCMAR 核心以及其他提供职业发展支持的 UF 项目，包括临床和 转化科学研究所 (CTSI)、佛罗里达大学老年人独立中心 (OAIC) 初级学者 计划，以及综合性多学科疼痛和衰老研究培训 (IMPART) 计划。 通过这些努力，REC 将实现支持 RCMAR 发展的总体目标 科学家们将成为独立科学家和未来领导者，成为疼痛和衰老研究人员。为了 为了促进 RCMAR 科学家的职业发展，REC 将确保每位 RCMAR 科学家 由忠诚的多学科指导团队提供支持。所有 RCMAR 科学家都将在他们的指导下工作 团队制定适合其培训需求和职业目标的个人发展计划 (IDP)， 目标。此外，REC 将为每位 RCMAR 科学家提供量身定制的教学和体验培训，以 促进他们的职业发展并成功过渡到独立和领导力。 REC 还将 实施试点研究计划以支持 RCMAR 科学家针对生物心理社会问题的研究 导致老年人疼痛和残疾的因素。最后，REC 将监测和评估结果 其研究和职业发展活动，其中包括跟踪 RCMAR 科学家的出版物和 未来的资助金，以及评估指导和职业发展的过程和结果 REC 支持的活动。 REC 的成功实施将最终改善老年人的健康 通过增强老龄化研究队伍的多样性并产生重要的新知识 关于晚年疼痛和残疾的生物心理社会驱动因素和干预措施。
