Project Summary/Abstract Our nation is experiencing two conflicting trends: the population of older adults of color is growing rapidly, but neither the number of researchers of color nor research output on this population reflects these changing demographics. The Resource Centers for Minority Aging Research (RCMAR) focus on mentoring, improving the skills, and building the networks of researchers from underrepresented groups with a focus on aging and fostering state of the art research on minority elderly. Creating and sustaining an infrastructure that promotes the development of national research networks, facilitates cross-site and cross-program collaborations, maximizes the dissemination of RCMAR-generated science, and informs the NIA’s program administration is best accomplished by a Coordinating Center (CC). UCLA has run the CC for the RCMAR program for the past 15 years and is applying through this new mechanism to use its experience and knowledge of the RCMAR program to continue as the RCMAR CC for the next five years. This application proposes that we will: 1) Serve as the hub for the RCMAR national program by facilitating and coordinating trans-RCMAR activities through providing logistical support to RCMARs, 2) Foster communication and promote collaborative activities between RCMAR sites and the NIA, and with a broad and diverse audience of researchers, educators and the community; and 3) Refine and implement our tested evaluation plan for assessing the achievements of the RCMAR program and of the RCMAR CC’s specific aims. We will build on past accomplishments in organizing highly rated meetings and workshops, securing additional resources for cross-site collaborations, linking RCMAR sites to broader networks, effectively disseminating RCMAR accomplishments to other researchers and wider audiences, and building state-of-the-art IT infrastructure to support the program. We will continue to innovate so that the network of RCMARs and Alzheimer’s RCMARs will have a higher impact collectively than the individual centers would alone -- launching researchers on careers that will contribute to new knowledge that will improve the health and well-being of both minority elderly and other older adults.

项目摘要/摘要 我们的国家正在经历两个相互冲突的趋势：有色人种老年人的人口正在增长 速度很快，但无论是有色人种研究人员的数量还是对这一群体的研究产出都不能反映 这些不断变化的人口统计数据。少数族裔老龄化研究资源中心(RCMAR)专注于 指导，提高技能，建立代表不足的研究人员网络 关注老龄化和促进对少数族裔老年人的最新研究的团体。创建和 维持促进国家研究网络发展的基础设施，促进 跨站点和跨计划的合作，最大限度地传播由RCMAR产生的科学， 并告知NIA的项目管理最好由协调中心(CC)完成。加州大学洛杉矶分校 在过去的15年中负责RCMAR计划的CC，并通过这一新的 利用其在RCMAR计划方面的经验和知识继续担任RCMAR CC的机制 在接下来的五年。本申请提出我们将：1)作为RCMAR的枢纽 国家计划，通过提供后勤便利和协调跨RCMAR活动 支持RCMAR，2)促进RCMAR之间的沟通和合作活动 网站和NIA，并拥有广泛和多样化的研究人员、教育工作者和社区受众； 3)完善和实施我们经过测试的评估计划，以评估RCMAR的成就 计划和RCMAR CC的具体目标。我们将在过去组织工作的基础上再接再厉 高评级的会议和研讨会，确保跨站点协作的额外资源，链接 RCMAR站点到更广泛的网络，有效地将RCMAR成果传播给其他 研究人员和更广泛的受众，并构建最先进的IT基础设施来支持该计划。 我们将继续创新，使RCMAR和阿尔茨海默氏症RCMAR网络具有更高的 集体影响比单个中心单独产生的影响更大--启动研究人员从事将 促进新知识，以改善少数族裔老年人和 其他老年人。
