The disorders of late life constitute one of the most pressing global public health issues of the 21st Century. Addressing the care of older adults in the coming decades is all the more challenging when one considers demographic trends, patterns of service use and delivery, and the training and composition of the health care work force . The proposed Center activities address the need for: multidimensional and community-based research, interdisciplinary research, and, increasing the supply of investigators interested in and capable of carrying out interdisciplinary research designed to rectify health disparities . The overarching goals of this core are: (1) to facilitate the conduct of research relevant to health disparities across the stages of chronic illness in Latino and African American elders, (2) to prepare investigators to conduct such research,. The investigator development core will increase the productivity of existing Penn centers and programs by creating new opportunities (in collaboration with the community liaison core) for recruiting older minority persons for research, by increasing the knowledge (in collaboration with the measurement core) of investigators on aging-specific issues pertinent to disparities, and by enhancing the recruitment and training of diverse investigators to the field of minority health issues. A central feature of this core is recruitment and development of minority investigators, which the core will achieve by providing a comprehensive development program that addresses, in addition to mentoring in research, issues of the receptivity of the environment, career counseling and development, and development of specific skills necessary for success as an investigator. The specific aims of the investigator development core are to: (1) increase the knowledge base by which health disparities in minority older adults are understood by identifying and evaluating patient, health care provider, caregiver, and social and environmental factors, and testing interventions at the patient, provider, organizational, and environmental levels; (2) support research training and multidisciplinary collaborations relevant to research on health disparities in older minorities; and, (3) recruit and train minority investigators focused on health disparities research among older adults.

老年疾病是21世纪最紧迫的全球公共卫生问题之一。 在未来几十年里，解决老年人的护理问题更具挑战性， 人口趋势、服务使用和提供的模式以及卫生保健的培训和组成 劳动力。拟议的中心活动满足以下需要：多层面和以社区为基础 研究，跨学科研究，并增加感兴趣和有能力的研究人员的供应， 开展旨在纠正健康差距的跨学科研究。 该核心的首要目标是： (1)促进开展与慢性病各阶段健康差异相关的研究， 拉丁裔和非裔美国老人， (2)为研究人员进行此类研究做好准备。 研究者发展核心将通过以下方式提高现有宾夕法尼亚大学中心和项目的生产力： （与社区联络中心合作）创造新的机会，招募年长的少数族裔成员 研究人员，通过增加知识（与测量核心合作）， 调查员就与差距有关的老龄问题进行调查，并加强征聘和培训， 少数民族健康问题领域的各种调查人员。这一核心的一个主要特点是征聘， 少数民族调查员的发展，核心将通过提供全面的 发展计划，解决，除了在研究指导，接受的问题， 环境，职业咨询和发展，以及成功所需的特定技能的发展 作为一个调查员。 研究者发展核心的具体目标是： (1)增加了解少数老年人健康差异的知识基础， 识别和评估患者、医疗保健提供者、护理人员以及社会和环境因素，以及 在患者、提供者、组织和环境层面测试干预措施; (2)支持与健康差距研究有关的研究培训和多学科合作， 老年少数族裔;以及， (3)招募和培训少数民族调查员，重点是老年人健康差异研究。
