项目摘要/摘要-分析核心 深南RCMAR的主要目标是增加调查人员的数量和多样性 进行与少数群体老龄化和健康差距有关的独立研究的能力。这项研究 深南RCMAR的重点是缩小非西班牙裔黑人/非洲人之间的健康差距 美国(B/AA)和非西班牙裔白人老年人在南方腹地，国家的地区 大多数老年B/A患者生活在健康差距特别大的地区。分析核心 (非国大)将通过提供指导和培训来支持深南RCMAR的愿景和活动 健康的社会决定因素(SDOH)方法、测量、评估领域的科学家，以及 二次数据分析，因为它与健康差距和少数族裔老龄化有关。非国大将通过以下方式实现这一目标 利用我们四个合作机构的现有专业知识、数据资源和基础设施(加州大学 阿拉巴马州伯明翰分校、莫尔豪斯医学院、塔斯基吉大学和宾夕法尼亚大学 阿拉巴马州)。我们还将促进招募不同的样本以及多样性、公平、 工作场所和研究中的包容性和可获得性(DEIA)。非国大的目标包括三个方面 策略。首先，我们会与研究教育组和社区联络处合作 和招聘核心(CLRC)，在相关方法和测量技术方面指导和培训科学家 对南方腹地老年B/AA和白人之间的健康差距进行研究。这将包括：a) 进行方法、测量、检查SDOH的培训，并可靠地评估心理社会方面 (B)促进科学家与方法学、生物统计学、 和分析资源在深南RCMAR及其附属中心内可用。第二，在 与REC和CLRC合作，我们将指导和培训科学家进行二次数据 使用心理社会、经济、临床和遗传数据进行分析，目的是为发展提供信息 以及对解决南方腹地老年人健康差距的干预措施进行评估。这将是 包括：a)开展二级数据分析方面的培训，重点是深南RCMAR的数据 专门知识；b)通过设立工作组，协助指导科学家分析二次数据 由深南RCMAR教职员工和在与少数族裔老龄化相关的数据集方面拥有专业知识的科学家组成 和健康差距；以及c)每年资助一项二级分析奖，以提高 RCMAR的科学家。最后，我们将(A)与RCMAR协调中心合作传播 与少数群体老龄化有关的文化敏感措施和分析技术，以及(B)在 通过对RCMAR教职员工和科学家进行地方和国家培训，促进工作场所和研究。

Project Summary/Abstract – Analysis Core The Deep South RCMAR’s primary objective is to increase both the number and diversity of investigators with the capacity to conduct independent research related to minority aging and health disparities. The research focus of the Deep South RCMAR is on reducing health disparities between non-Hispanic Black/African American (B/AA) and non-Hispanic White older adults in the Deep South, the region of the country where the majority of older B/AAs live, and where health disparities have been particularly persistent. The Analysis Core (AnC) will support the vision and activities of the Deep South RCMAR by providing mentoring and training to Scientists in the areas of methods, measurement, assessment of social determinants of health (SDOH), and secondary data analysis as it relates to health disparities and minority aging. The AnC will achieve this goal by leveraging existing expertise, data resources, and infrastructure at our four partnering institutions (University of Alabama at Birmingham, Morehouse School of Medicine, Tuskegee University, and The University of Alabama). We will also promote the recruitment of diverse samples and the importance of diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility (DEIA) in the workplace and research. The AnC aims consist of a three-fold strategy. First, we will collaborate with the Research Education Component (REC) and the Community Liaison and Recruitment Core (CLRC) to mentor and train Scientists in methods and measurement techniques related to the study of health disparities within older B/AA and White individuals in the Deep South. This will include: a) conducting training in methods, measurement, examining SDOH, and reliably assessing psychosocial aspects of health disparities/minority aging; and b) facilitating linkage of Scientists with methodological, biostatistical, and analytical resources available within the Deep South RCMAR and affiliated centers. Second, in collaboration with the REC and the CLRC, we will mentor and train Scientists to conduct secondary data analyses using psychosocial, economic, clinical, and genetic data, with the goal of informing the development and evaluation of interventions to address health disparities among older adults in the Deep South. This will include: a) conducting training in secondary data analysis with a focus on data with Deep South RCMAR expertise; b) facilitating mentoring of Scientists in the analysis of secondary data by establishing workgroups comprised of Deep South RCMAR faculty and Scientists with expertise in datasets relevant to minority aging and health disparities; and c) funding a secondary analysis award each year to increase the productivity of RCMAR Scientists. Finally, we will (a) collaborate with the RCMAR Coordinating Center in the dissemination of culturally sensitive measures and analysis techniques relevant to minority aging and (b) promote DEIA in the workplace and research via local and national trainings for RCMAR faculty and Scientists.
