DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant) The Center for Aging in Diverse Communities (CADC) has three research themes: 1) understanding multilevel determinants of disparities, 2) evaluating through secondary data analysis the effects of policies that reduce public services among minority older adults, and 3) translating evidence-based interventions to prevent/manage chronic conditions and mitigate the effects of stressful environments in minority communities. The Administrative Core will coordinate all CADC functions, select pilot studies for funding, host Advisory Board meetings, allocate effort to update the web site, and sustain collaborations with UCSF colleagues. The Investigator Development Core will fund 3-5 scholars every year through the process of Request for Proposals and review. CADC faculty will formally mentor funded scholars to completion of their research, publication of a paper, submission of a faculty development or independent research grant to NIA/NIH, and becoming established in their academic units. The multidisciplinary nature of CADC faculty provide scholars with a variety of content mentors in the clinical, epidemiological, behavioral, and social sciences, including a neuroscientist and health economist. We will promote use of secondary datasets to identify multi-level determinants of disparities and evaluate the impact of policy changes using interrupted time-series methods. We will also encourage scholars to develop pilot interventions to reduce health disparities. The Community Liaison Core will support recruitment of research participants for funded projects, advance the science of recruitment and disseminate research findings to the target communities. The Analysis Core will work closely with scholars to provide technical assistance in specialized methods in minority aging, develop measurement projects to identify determinants of disparities, and provide guidance to pilot test community-based interventions. In sum, CADC will continue to foster development of ethnically diverse investigators who will conduct research with older minority persons at UCSF and in Northern California.

描述（由申请人提供）中心老龄化在不同的社区（CADC）有三个研究主题：1）了解差异的多层次决定因素，2）通过二级数据分析评估政策的影响，减少少数民族老年人的公共服务，和3）翻译循证干预措施，以预防/管理慢性病和减轻少数民族社区的压力环境的影响。行政核心将协调所有CADC功能，选择试点研究的资金，主办咨询委员会会议，分配努力更新网站，并保持与加州大学旧金山分校的同事合作。研究者发展核心每年将通过征求建议书和审查的过程资助3-5名学者。CADC教师将正式指导受资助的学者完成研究、发表论文、向NIA/NIH提交教师发展或独立研究资助，并在其学术单位站稳脚跟。CADC教师的多学科性质为学者提供了临床，流行病学，行为和社会科学方面的各种内容导师，包括神经科学家和健康经济学家。我们将推广使用二级数据集，以确定差异的多层次决定因素，并使用间断时间序列方法评估政策变化的影响。我们还将鼓励学者制定试点干预措施，以减少健康差距。社区联络核心将支持为资助项目招募研究参与者，推进招募科学，并向目标社区传播研究成果。分析核心将与学者密切合作，为少数民族老龄化的专门方法提供技术援助，制定衡量项目，以确定差异的决定因素，并为试点测试社区干预措施提供指导。总之，CADC将继续促进种族多样化的调查人员的发展，他们将在UCSF和北方加州与老年少数民族进行研究。
