DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The NIA Resource Centers for Minority Aging Research (RCMARs), with leadership by the RCMAR Coordinating Center (CC), request funding for one scientific research conference that will focus on the "State of the Science" in minority aging research. The research agenda developed by the National Research Council (NCR), "Understanding Racial and Ethnic Differences in Late Life" (2004), was used to select the conference topic. The proposed scientific research conference will be held on November 16, 2007 in conjunction with the 2007 National Scientific Annual Meeting of the Gerontological Society of America (GSA) to maximize attendance and capitalize on leveraging travel costs. The conference has three goals: (1) to bring together researchers to discuss the current "state of the science" in selected NRC recommendation areas; (2) to expose RCMAR and other researchers to priority research areas that may not be adequately addressed; and (3) to encourage research development in priority areas. The specific aims of the conference are to (1) Form and utilize an expert conference Planning Committee to develop a one-day state of the science conference agenda that will promote intervention research to address racial and ethnic health differences; identify key research efforts and projects in identified research priorities; characterize barriers that hinder intervention research project development; and discuss novel approaches to new project development in under-addressed priority research areas. The remaining specific aims include to (2) Develop and implement one scientific conference on intervention research processes and skills development of minority junior faculty and other junior faculty to encourage minority aging research in priority areas; (3) Provide training to a minimum of 50 minority junior faculty and/or faculty (senior and junior) working in minority aging research at each annual conference; (4) Evaluate the conference program to document improvements in knowledge, skills, abilities and utilization of conference learnings within RCMARs and other research programs; and (5) Broadly disseminate the findings from the conference through a variety of professional publications, editorials and website postings. The conference being proposed will bring faculty researchers together to discuss minority aging research topic priorities and assist in development of needed future research.

描述（由申请人提供）：NIA少数民族老龄化研究资源中心（RCMARs）在RCMAR协调中心（CC）的领导下，申请资助一个科学研究会议，将重点关注少数民族老龄化研究的“科学现状”。国家研究委员会（NCR）制定的研究议程“理解晚年的种族和民族差异”（2004年）被用来选择会议主题。拟议的科学研究会议将于2007年11月16日与美国老年学学会（GSA）的2007年全国科学年会同时举行，以最大限度地提高出席率并充分利用差旅成本。会议有三个目标：(1)召集研究人员讨论选定的NRC推荐领域的当前“科学状况”；(2)使RCMAR和其他研究人员接触到可能尚未充分解决的优先研究领域；(3)鼓励重点领域的研究发展。会议的具体目标是：(1)组建并利用专家会议规划委员会，制定为期一天的科学会议议程，促进干预研究，以解决种族和民族健康差异；在确定的研究重点中确定主要的研究工作和项目；描述妨碍干预研究项目发展的障碍；并讨论在未充分解决的优先研究领域开发新项目的新方法。剩余的具体目标包括：(2)制定并实施一次少数民族初级教师和其他初级教师干预研究过程和技能发展的科学会议，以鼓励在重点领域进行少数民族老龄化研究；(3)在每届年度会议上为至少50名从事少数民族老龄化研究的少数民族初级教师和/或高级和初级教师提供培训；(4)评估会议计划，以记录RCMARs和其他研究计划在知识、技能、能力和会议学习利用方面的改进；(5)通过各种专业出版物、社论和网站帖子广泛传播会议的成果。
