OVERALL ABSTRACT The Community Health and Aging in Native Groups of Elders (CHANGE) Resource Center for Minority Aging Research (RCMAR) is a new iteration of the Native Elder Research Center (NERC) that has been continually funded since its inception in 1998. CHANGE will relocate the RCMAR to Washington State University’s Institute for Research and Education to Advance Community Health and continue to increase the diversity of investigators conducting research with Native populations in the US, defined here as American Indian, Alaska Native, and Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander people. We maintain an 18-month cycle, draw on long- established best practices, offer innovative solutions to improvements identified by former NERC Faculty and Scientists, integrate a community-based approach, and expand our diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility platform to create a culture of inclusiveness and support for 9 diverse early-career faculty (3 per cycle). CHANGE is led by MPIs Dedra Buchwald, MD, at Washington State University, and Julie Baldwin, PhD (Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma), at Northern Arizona University; they will co-lead the Leadership and Administrative Core. The Research Education Component will be led by Clemma Muller, PhD, MS, at Washington State University; and the Analysis Core will be led by Richard MacLehose, PhD, at University of Minnesota. Gary Ferguson, ND (Unangax̂/Aleut), at Washington State University, will lead Community Integration activities to embed community engagement and education into the Pilot Studies and all aspects of CHANGE, upholding our commitment to principles of participatory research. We feature subcontract affiliations with Mentors Valarie Jernigan, PhD (Choctaw), a former NERC Faculty and Scientist, at Oklahoma State University; Scott Okamoto, PhD, a current RCMAR Mentor, at University of Hawai’i at Mānoa; and Mandy Fretts, PhD (Eel Ground First Nation), at University of Washington. Our Specific Aims are to: 1) Deliver the 18-month CHANGE curriculum to a diverse cohort of 9 Scientists pursuing careers in aging research with Native people; 2) Provide state-of-the-art support for CHANGE Scientists’ Pilot Studies within a holistic framework of mentoring, professional development, and research excellence; 3) Integrate CHANGE Scientists into a network of investigators, RCMAR alumni, and community partners who conduct Native health research and promote Native health interventions; and 4) Embed principles of community outreach, engagement, and participatory research, as well as diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility across all CHANGE activities. The literature on training programs for underrepresented minority investigators highlights the success of personalized, culturally-informed training and access to underrepresented minority role models. CHANGE is highly responsive to RFA-AG-23- 026’s requirements of recruiting Scientists and providing Mentors from the parent or affiliated institutions, while concurrently accommodating the real-world limitations presented by the highly-dispersed and relatively-small community of early-stage investigators and senior faculty conducting aging-related research on Native health.

总体摘要 原住民老年人群体的社区健康和老龄化（CHANGE）少数民族老龄化资源中心 研究 (RCMAR) 是本土老年人研究中心 (NERC) 的新版本，该中心一直在不断发展 自 1998 年成立以来一直受到资助。CHANGE 将把 RCMAR 迁至华盛顿州立大学研究所 促进社区健康的研究和教育并继续增加多样性 研究人员对美国原住民（此处定义为美洲印第安人）进行研究， 阿拉斯加原住民、夏威夷原住民和太平洋岛民。我们维持18个月的周期，借鉴长期 建立最佳实践，为前 NERC 教员确定的改进提供创新解决方案 科学家，整合基于社区的方法，并扩大我们的多样性、公平性、包容性和可及性 平台为 9 名不同的早期职业教师（每个周期 3 名）创造包容性和支持文化。改变 由华盛顿州立大学的 MPI Dedra Buchwald 医学博士和 Julie Baldwin 博士（切罗基）领导 俄克拉荷马州），北亚利桑那大学；他们将共同领导领导和行政核心。 研究教育部分将由华盛顿州立大学的 Clemma Muller 博士、硕士领导； 分析核心将由明尼苏达大学 Richard MacLehose 博士领导。加里·弗格森, 华盛顿州立大学的 ND (Unangax̂/Aleut) 将领导社区融合活动，以嵌入 将社区参与和教育纳入试点研究和变革的各个方面，坚持我们的 致力于参与性研究的原则。我们与 Mentors Valarie 建立了分包合同关系 Jernigan 博士（乔克托），俄克拉荷马州立大学前 NERC 教员和科学家；斯科特 Okamoto 博士，夏威夷大学马诺阿分校现任 RCMAR 导师；和 Mandy Fretts 博士（鳗鱼 地面原住民），华盛顿大学。我们的具体目标是： 1) 实现 18 个月的变革 为 9 名致力于与原住民从事衰老研究的科学家组成的不同群体提供课程； 2）提供 在整体指导框架内为变革科学家的试点研究提供最先进的支持， 专业发展和卓越研究； 3) 将变革科学家纳入网络 进行原住民健康研究并推广原住民的调查员、RCMAR 校友和社区合作伙伴 健康干预措施； 4) 纳入社区外展、参与和参与性研究的原则， 以及所有变革活动的多样性、公平性、包容性和可及性。有关培训的文献 针对代表性不足的少数族裔调查员的计划凸显了个性化、文化知情的成功 培训和获得代表性不足的少数群体榜样的机会。 CHANGE 对 RFA-AG-23- 反应灵敏 026要求从母校或附属机构招募科学家和提供导师，同时 同时适应现实世界中高度分散且相对较小的限制 由早期研究人员和高级教师组成的社区，对本土健康进行与衰老相关的研究。
