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.

少数民族老龄化研究中的新问题将在当前NIA上创建五个不同的为期一天的会议 少数民族老龄化研究的优先领域。会议系列的目标是提高质量， 数量，并通过提供初级和高级研究， 高级研究人员，对这些新出现的问题有新的知识和更大的兴趣， 老人这一点很重要，因为美国少数种族和少数民族的老年人口正在迅速增长： 在2020年至2050年期间，少数族裔将从占老年人口的25%增加到40%以上。保护 改善这些老年人的健康状况需要一支高技能的研究队伍， 创造新的和有用的知识。然而，少数民族研究人员的数量和成功 国家卫生研究院的资金不足。少数民族老龄化研究资源中心（RCMAR） 致力于指导和培训对少数民族老龄化进行研究的初级教师，以加强下一个 NIA资助的少数民族和种族研究和研究人员的一代。会议主题是： 招募和留住有色人种老年人;认知受损者获得护理和改善结果 少数族裔老年人;将行为改变科学应用于有色人种老年人的干预发展; 少数民族老年人的实用干预试验;以及使用健康风险的生物学测量 对老年人的差异研究。每一个都将以该主题的主要学者为特色， 少数民族老龄化，以及来自多个国家情报局资助的中心和网络的代表。该等程序可以 传播关于该主题的最新技术，告知研究人员如何修改现有研究 或扩大到更有效和相关的少数民族长者，并提供资源，可用于 研究人员进一步发展对少数民族老年人的研究领域。他们将被视为 美国老年学会（GSA）年度科学会议的会前会议， 每届会议50名与会者;大多数将是少数民族和/或妇女。规划委员会将 妥协的确认主旨发言人谁是在该领域的领导者和研究人员从RCMAR 在这个领域有专业知识的网站。执行委员会将是RCMAR董事小组。项目 在所涵盖的主题，所涉及的研究网络以及与GSA的协同作用方面具有创新性。程序 评估包括过程评估、回顾性的前/后知识和信心调查，以及 关于会议影响的四个月后续调查。主要调查人员是少数民族的国家领导人 和老龄化研究谁成功地领导了以前的GSA预会议。这项提案是对 以前成功的系列与新的主题，但类似的目标，提高知识和 对NIA支持的新兴问题感兴趣，这些问题在少数民族老龄化研究议程中得到了支持， 提高各专题主要研究人员对少数群体老龄化问题的认识。
