CORE--INVESTIGATOR DEVELOPMENT

这一核心将有两个主要组成部分。首先，它将选择拉丁裔 人口。这些试点研究将由少数人领导或共同领导。 初级教员级别的调查人员，由 RCARDP的核心教员或加州大学旧金山分校的附属老年研究人员。 其次，该核心将创建一个项目来传播研究 向所有感兴趣的受众提供信息，包括社区组织、医疗保健 非洲地区的专业人士、实习生和舆论领袖- 美国人和拉丁裔社区。这一核心的具体目标是 1)建立具有少数族裔专业知识的调查人员网络 健康和老龄化，选择将得到资助的试点研究，并协助 指导这些经验较少的少数族裔调查人员进行 他们的先导研究；2)资助至少15项先导研究 五年，包括第一年的三年，将由一名 少数族裔调查员；3)协助由 制定和提交独立研究提案的试点研究 根据收集到的数据；以及4)建立一个计划，以 传播有关使用技术的研究信息 涉及非洲裔美国人和拉美裔老龄化人口的研究。

This core will have two major components. First, it will select Latino populations. These pilot studies will be led or co-led by minority investigators at the junior-faculty level and supervised by the RCARDP's core faculty or by affiliated aging investigators at UCSF. Second, the core will create a program to disseminate research information to all interested audiences including CBOs, health-care professionals and trainees and opinion leaders within the African- American and Latino communities. The specific aims for this core are: 1) to establish a network of investigators with expertise in minority health and aging, to select pilot studies to be funded, and to assist and mentor these less-experienced minority investigators in conducting their pilot studies; 2) to fund a minimum of fifteen pilot studies over five years, including three in year 1 which will be led or co-led by a minority investigator; 3) to assist minority investigators funded by the pilot studies to develop and submit an independent research proposal based on the data collected; and 4) to establish a program for disseminating research information regarding techniques used in research involving African-American and Latino aging populations.
