Emerging Issues in Minority Aging Research will create five different one-day conferences on current NIA priority areas relevant to minority aging research. The conference series goal is to increase the quality, quantity, and relevance to communities of color of NIA-fundable research by providing both junior and senior researchers with new knowledge and greater interest in these emerging issues as applied to minority elderly. This is significant because the U.S. racial and ethnic minority older population is growing rapidly: minorities will increase from 25% to over 40% of the older population between 2020 and 2050. Protecting and improving the health of these elderly requires a highly skilled research workforce with interests and capabilities to produce new and useful knowledge. Yet the number and success of minority researchers funded by NIH is insufficient. The NIA's Resource Centers for Minority Aging Research (RCMAR) program works to mentor and train junior faculty who conduct research on minority aging to strengthen the next generation of NIA-funded ethnic and racial minority research and researchers. Conferences topics are: Recruitment and retention of elders of color; Access to care & improved outcomes for cognitively impaired minority elderly; Applying the science of behavior change to intervention development for elders of color; Pragmatic intervention trials with minority elders; and Using biological measures of risk in health disparities research with older adults. Each will feature leading scholars on the topic, top scholars on minority aging, and representatives from multiple NIA-funded centers and networks. The programs will disseminate the state of the art on the topic, inform researchers on how existing research can be modified or expanded to be more valid and relevant for minority elders, and provide resources that can be used by researchers to further develop the fields in research with minority elders. They will be held as preconferences to the Gerontological Society of America (GSA) annual scientific meetings with an average of 50 participants each; the majority will be minorities and/or women. The planning committee will be compromised of the confirmed keynote speakers who are leaders in the field and researchers from RCMAR sites with expertise in the topic. The executive committee will be the RCMAR directors group. The project is innovative in the topics covered, the research networks involved, and the synergy with GSA. Program evaluation includes a process evaluation, a retrospective pre/post knowledge and confidence survey, and four-month follow-up survey on conference impacts. The lead investigators are national leaders in minority and aging research who have successfully led previous GSA preconferences. This proposal is a renewal of the previous successful series with new topics but similar objectives of improving the knowledge and interest in emerging issues supported by NIA among those with research agendas in minority aging and raising awareness of minority aging among leading researchers in each topic.

少数族裔老化研究的新兴问题将在当前的NIA上创建五个不同的一日会议 优先领域与少数族裔老化研究有关。会议系列目标是提高质量， 通过提供初级和 具有新知识的高级研究人员，对这些新兴问题的兴趣更大，适用于少数 老年。这很重要，因为美国的种族和少数民族老年人口正在迅速增长： 少数族裔将从2020年至2050年之间的25％增加到老年人口的40％以上。保护 并改善这些老年人的健康需要具有兴趣和利益的高技能研究人员 产生新知识的能力。然而，少数派研究人员的数量和成功 由NIH资助不足。 NIA的少数民族老龄化研究中心（RCMAR）计划 努力指导和培训初级教师，他们对少数民族老化进行研究以加强下一个 NIA资助的种族和种族少数群体研究人员和研究人员产生。会议主题是： 招募和保留颜色的长者；获得认知障碍的护理和改善的结果 少数派老年人；将行为变化科学应用于颜色长者的干预发展； 与少数族裔长者进行务实的干预试验；并使用健康风险的生物学度量 与老年人的差异研究。每个都会以该主题为主题的领先学者，顶级学者 少数族裔老化，以及来自多个NIA资助的中心和网络的代表。程序将 在主题上传播艺术的状态，告知研究人员如何修改现有研究 或扩展以对少数族裔长者更有效和相关，并提供可以使用的资源 研究人员将进一步发展与少数族裔长者的研究领域。他们将被视为 美国老年学会（GSA）年度科学会议的预设与平均 每个参与者中有50名；大多数将是少数群体和/或妇女。计划委员会将是 被确认的主题演讲者和RCMAR研究人员的确认主题演讲者所妥协 在主题方面具有专业知识的网站。执行委员会将是RCMAR董事小组。项目 在涵盖的主题，涉及的研究网络以及与GSA的协同作用中具有创新性。程序 评估包括流程评估，回顾性的预/后知识和信心调查以及 四个月的后续调查对会议影响。首席调查人员是少数民族的国家领导人 以及成功领导GSA预设的老化研究。该提议是一个续签 以前的成功系列具有新主题，但相似的目标是改善知识和 NIA在少数族裔衰老和 在每个主题中，提高了主要研究人员之间对少数族裔衰老的认识。
