The Research Education Component (REC) will contribute to expand and strengthen the next generation of leaders on minority aging and health disparities research, by supporting structured multidisciplinary research, education and mentoring, individualized learning experiences, nationwide networking, and participation in targeted multidisciplinary team science. For this renewal of the Texas RCMAR, the REC will perform activities through a new partnership between the University of Texas Medical Branch (UTMB) and the University of Texas San Antonio (UTSA), as well as continue our existing collaboration with UT-Austin. We will leverage complementary resources from our three institutions to advance the overall theme of the Texas RCMAR. Over the past cycle, the Texas RCMAR participating faculty have created a network of P30, R13, K12, KL2, T32, individual K-awards, and other federal funding to support the program activities. To this network, we will incorporate UTSA expertise in social/behavioral science. Our structured plan for mentoring and training scientists recruited at the assistant professor level, takes advantage of existing strengths, integrates our best practices, and launches new initiatives to recruit and retain scientists. Working closely with the Leadership & Administrative Core (LAC) and the Analysis Core (AnC), the REC will seek to complete the following Specific Aims: Aim 1: Identify, recruit, and retain qualified candidates who have the potential to develop successful careers in minority aging and health disparities consistent with the mission and theme of the Texas RCMAR. We will do this by implementing a clearly defined recruitment program that attracts promising Scientists to address the RCMAR’s theme and aims, including a new initiative of ‘pipeline scientists’ that are engaged a year ahead of their start in the program. We anticipate a new cohort of four new Scientists each year. Aim 2: Create and monitor an Individualized Career Development Plan for each Scientist. Upon recruitment, a 2-year Plan as RCMAR Scientist will identify a lead mentor and mentoring team members with defined roles, regular meetings, and specific professional development experiences. The Plan will include benchmarks, timeline, and outcomes. Aim 3: Implement and monitor a Structured Program of Mentoring and Research Education, with activities for the scientists in the program. The Pilot Project in year-1 of their Plan will serve as the platform for the structured program to boost the scientists’ career in minority aging, followed by a focus in year-2 on productive team science and seeking external funding. Activities will include biweekly group meetings, training in social and behavioral aspects of minority aging and health disparities, team science, the preparation and submission of grant proposals, a K-award discussion group, and training in the responsible conduct of research. RCMAR Scientists will maintain a Scientific Portfolio that documents milestones and reflects progress, which will be used in a formal process to evaluate achievements and improve the effectiveness of the program. RCMAR Scientists will be mentored by experienced senior faculty and a multidisciplinary team of affiliated faculty from our institutions.

研究教育部分（REC）将有助于扩大和加强下一代的 少数民族老龄化和健康差距研究的领导者，通过支持结构化的多学科研究， 教育和指导，个性化的学习经验，全国联网，并参与 多学科团队科学。对于德克萨斯州RCMAR的更新，REC将开展活动 通过得克萨斯大学医学分支（UTMB）和得克萨斯大学之间的新伙伴关系 圣安东尼奥（UTSA），以及继续我们与UT-奥斯汀现有的合作。我们将利用 从我们的三个机构的互补资源，以推进德州RCMAR的整体主题。超过 在过去的周期中，德克萨斯州RCMAR参与教师创建了一个P30，R13，K12，KL 2，T32， 个人K奖和其他联邦资金，以支持该计划的活动。对于这个网络，我们将 结合UTSA在社会/行为科学方面的专业知识。我们指导和培训科学家的结构化计划 在助理教授级别招聘，利用现有的优势，整合我们的最佳实践， 并推出新的举措来招募和留住科学家。与领导和行政部门密切合作 核心（LAC）和分析核心（AnC），REC将寻求完成以下具体目标：目标1： 识别、招聘和保留有潜力在以下领域发展成功职业生涯的合格候选人 少数民族老龄化和健康差距符合德克萨斯州RCMAR的使命和主题。我们将尽 通过实施明确定义的招聘计划，吸引有前途的科学家来解决这一问题， RCMAR的主题和目标，包括提前一年参与的“管道科学家”的新倡议， 他们在节目中的开始。我们预计每年将有四名新科学家加入新的队列。目标2：创建和监控 为每位科学家制定个性化的职业发展计划。招聘时，作为RCMAR的2年计划 科学家将确定一名首席导师和指导团队成员，并规定其角色，定期开会， 具体的专业发展经验。该计划将包括基准、时间轴和成果。目的 3：实施和监测指导和研究教育的结构化计划， 项目中的科学家。他们计划第一年的试点项目将作为结构化的平台， 该计划旨在促进科学家在少数民族老龄化方面的职业生涯，然后在第二年重点关注生产性团队科学 寻求外部资金。活动将包括每两周一次的小组会议， 少数民族老龄化和健康差距方面，团队科学，准备和提交赠款 建议，K奖讨论小组，并在负责任的研究行为的培训。RCMAR科学家 我将保持一个科学组合，记录里程碑和反映进展，这将用于正式的 评估成果和提高方案有效性的过程。RCMAR科学家将在 由经验丰富的资深教师和来自我们机构的附属教师的多学科团队指导。
