PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT The University of California San Francisco (UCSF) Center for Aging in Diverse Communities (CADC), an NIA- funded RCMAR since 1997, conducts research, training, and mentoring in minority aging and health disparities research. CADC offers a rich, multidisciplinary environment with social, behavioral, epidemiological, cognitive neuroscience, statistical, and internal medicine faculty providing mentoring and training support. The San Francisco Bay Area provides access to a wide range of diverse racial/ethnic, socioeconomic, and sexual and gender minority older adult populations. Our on-going studies with diverse rural and urban communities and solid relationships with over 100 community and clinical partners serving older adult disparity populations provide applied laboratories for mentoring. Our research theme addresses two NIA priorities: (1) understanding mechanisms of health disparities and developing effective interventions to reduce them; and (2) to develop infrastructure for high quality research. Since 1997, CADC has mentored over 90 minority underrepresented early investigators who have made significant contributions to minority aging research. In the past 5-year funding cycle, we mentored 25 minority early investigators and funded 26 pilot projects. Our cores will continue within the new RCMAR organizational framework. The Administrative Core (AC) will coordinate integration of the cores, selection of CADC Scientists, reporting, and external advisors. The Research & Education Component (REC) will provide continual mentorship and pilot study funding for CADC Scientists. The Analysis Core (AnC) will advance and disseminate methodological resources and measures for minority aging and health disparities research. The Community Liaison & Recruitment Core (CLRC) will enhance recruitment and retention and promote engagement of diverse communities in research. Our CADC cores contribute jointly and uniquely to mentoring and training CADC Scientists and others in conducting research to resolve the challenging issues facing our older adult disparity populations. CADC's aims are to: (1) select 3-4 CADC Scientists (underrepresented junior investigators) per year, provide them with pilot study funding, and mentor them to develop independent research careers in health disparities and minority aging research; (2) develop and disseminate (a) methods for conducting interventions to ameliorate disparities among older adults, (b) methods for developing/selecting measures appropriate for disparity populations, and (c) methodological resources on advanced research and statistical methods; and (3) advance the science of community engagement and recruitment to increase participation of disparity populations in research, and mentor CADC Scientists on these methods. CADC will contribute to diversifying the workforce by promoting the expertise and careers of exceptionally talented underrepresented CADC Scientists to develop independent research careers. The cumulative experience, commitment to health equity, and professional networks of CADC Faculty and Scientists in the research and local communities ensures that we will achieve these aims.

项目总结/摘要 加州大学旧金山弗朗西斯科（UCSF）多样化社区老龄化中心（CADC），一个NIA- 自1997年以来资助RCMAR，在少数民族老龄化和健康差异方面进行研究，培训和指导 research. CADC提供了一个丰富的，多学科的环境，社会，行为，流行病学，认知 神经科学、统计学和内科学系提供指导和培训支持。圣 弗朗西斯科湾区提供了一个广泛的不同种族/民族，社会经济，性和 老年人中的少数性别。我们正在进行的研究与不同的农村和城市社区， 与100多个社区和临床合作伙伴建立了牢固的关系，为老年人提供服务 提供应用实验室进行指导。我们的研究主题涉及两个NIA优先事项：（1） 了解健康差距的机制，并制定有效的干预措施来减少这些差距;（2） 为高质量的研究发展基础设施。自1997年以来，CADC已经指导了90多个少数民族 代表性不足的早期研究人员谁作出了重大贡献，少数老龄化研究。在 在过去5年的资助周期中，我们指导了25名少数族裔早期调查人员，并资助了26个试点项目。我们的核心 将在新的RCMAR组织框架内继续进行。行政核心（AC）将协调 核心的整合，CADC科学家的选择，报告和外部顾问。研究& 教育部分（REC）将为CADC科学家提供持续的指导和试点研究资金。 分析核心（AnC）将推进和传播少数群体的方法资源和措施， 老龄化和健康差异研究。社区联络和招聘核心（CLRC）将加强 招聘和保留，并促进不同社区参与研究。我们的CADC核心 共同和独特地指导和培训CADC科学家和其他人进行研究， 解决我们老年人差距人口面临的挑战性问题。CADC的目标是：（1）选择3-4个 CADC科学家（代表性不足的初级研究人员）每年，为他们提供试点研究资金， 指导他们在健康差异和少数民族老龄化研究方面发展独立的研究事业;（2） 制定和传播（a）采取干预措施的方法，以改善老年人之间的差距， (b)制定/选择适合于不平等人口的措施的方法，以及（c）方法学 先进的研究和统计方法的资源;（3）促进社区科学 参与和招聘，以增加差异人群在研究中的参与，并指导CADC 科学家对这些方法。CADC将通过促进专业知识， 和职业生涯的特别有才华的代表性不足的CADC科学家发展独立的研究 careers. CADC教师的累积经验，对健康公平的承诺和专业网络 研究和当地社区的科学家确保我们将实现这些目标。
