Abstract Over the last decade, U.S. prisons have experienced a 300% increase in people aged 55 or older. Research to understand the life course experiences and drivers of later life health disparities in this population is in its infancy. Despite the stark overrepresentation of people of racial or ethnic minority groups in the prison and jail population, research about the racial/ethnic health disparities that might be present in this population is limited. The ARCH Network was developed to bring together national researchers dedicated to studying the experiences of criminal justice-involved older adults and the drivers of later life health disparities in this population and to support researchers in developing innovative research questions and methodologies to advance this nascent field. The COVID-19 pandemic has only further highlighted the need for community- driven research on the health needs of incarcerated older adults. We propose an administrative supplement to support a Black early career investigator in conducting the critical foundational work needed to understand how incarcerated older adults, their loved ones, and their healthcare providers want to be engaged in research design and analysis. We will use that information to create an “Inside-Outside” Community Advisory Board (CAB) comprised of people who are in prison and in the community and work with the CAB to design a program of research in this area. The research and training proposed in this application will provide foundational knowledge to advance both the career of the diversity supplement candidate and the field of correctional health and aging.

摘要 在过去的十年里，美国监狱里55岁或以上的人增加了300%。研究到 了解这一人群的生命历程经历和晚年健康差距的驱动因素是 婴儿期。尽管监狱和监狱中的种族或少数民族群体的代表明显过多 关于这一人群中可能存在的种族/族裔健康差异的研究有限。 ARCH网络的开发是为了将致力于研究 涉及刑事司法的老年人的经历和晚年健康差距的驱动因素 并支持研究人员开发创新的研究问题和方法，以 推动这一新兴领域的发展。新冠肺炎疫情只会进一步突显社区的必要性- 推动对被监禁老年人的健康需求的研究。我们建议对……进行行政补充 支持黑人早期职业调查员开展关键的基础工作，以了解 被监禁的老年人、他们的亲人和他们的医疗保健提供者想要从事研究 设计和分析。我们将利用这些信息创建一个“由内而外”的社区咨询委员会 (CAB)由在监狱和社区中的人组成，并与CAB一起设计 这一领域的研究计划。本申请中建议的研究和培训将提供 基础知识，以促进多样性补充候选人的职业生涯和 惩教健康和老龄化。
