The Katies for Aging Research and Equity (KARE) program at St. Catherine University is an innovative and integrated research education program that will advance diversity in aging research through a seamless blend of student support, education, and mentored research opportunities. To prepare the next generation of underrepresented minority women to be leaders in aging research, the KARE program will address the following specific aims: (1) develop and implement a supportive infrastructure for KARE scholars from the time of recruitment to beyond graduation, (2) launch a Gerontology minor for KARE scholars to become engaged and integrated in the study of health disparities in aging, and (3) cultivate authentic research in aging through mentored research opportunities. From the time of recruitment into the KARE program, scholars will receive holistic support through community building activities, career development programming, academic and research mentorship, and networking events within the larger aging research community. Scholars will also remain connected to the program beyond graduation as part of an active community of KARE alumnae. In addition, scholars will receive a cross-disciplinary education in Gerontology with a focus on age-related health disparities and interprofessional collaboration. In alignment with the NIA’s Health Disparities Research Framework, KARE scholars will complete coursework that focuses on the environmental, sociocultural, behavioral, and biological factors that underlie age-related health disparities among diverse populations of older adults. Importantly, each KARE scholar will be engaged in mentored aging-related research through multiple on-campus and off-campus research opportunities. As a complement to ongoing aging research at St. Catherine University, external partnerships have been developed with the Mayo Clinic Kogod Center on Aging in Rochester, MN and the HealthPartners Neuroscience Center in St. Paul, MN. KARE scholars will have the opportunity to focus on clinical, behavioral, or biomedical projects within the field of aging research either at the University or with one of the KARE partner institutions. Through the synergy of support, education, and research, the KARE program will comprehensively train scholars for successful research careers in aging.

圣凯瑟琳大学的凯蒂老龄化研究与公平 (KARE) 项目 一个创新和综合的研究教育计划，将促进老龄化的多样性 通过学生支持、教育和指导研究的无缝结合进行研究 机会。为下一代代表性不足的少数族裔妇女做好准备 作为老龄化研究领域的领导者，KARE 计划将实现以下具体目标：(1) 从 2007 年起，为 KARE 学者制定并实施支持性基础设施 招聘到毕业后，(2) 开设老年学辅修课程，让 KARE 学者成为 参与并融入老龄化健康差异的研究，以及（3）培养真实的 通过指导研究机会进行老龄化研究。自应聘之时起 KARE 计划，学者们将通过社区建设活动获得全面支持， 职业发展规划、学术和研究指导以及社交活动 在更大的老龄化研究界。学者们也将与该计划保持联系 毕业后，成为 KARE 校友活跃社区的一部分。此外，学者们将 接受老年学跨学科教育，重点关注与年龄相关的健康 差异和跨专业合作。符合 NIA 的健康差异 研究框架，KARE 学者将完成侧重于 与年龄相关的健康的环境、社会文化、行为和生物因素 不同老年人群之间的差异。重要的是，每位 KARE 学者都将 通过多个校内和校外的指导从事与老龄化相关的研究 研究机会。作为圣凯瑟琳大学正在进行的衰老研究的补充， 与 Mayo Clinic Kogod 老龄化中心建立了外部合作伙伴关系 明尼苏达州罗彻斯特和明尼苏达州圣保罗的 HealthPartners 神经科学中心。卡雷学者 将有机会专注于以下领域的临床、行为或生物医学项目 在大学或 KARE 合作机构之一进行老龄化研究。通过 通过支持、教育和研究的协同作用，KARE 项目将全面培训 老龄化研究事业取得成功的学者。
