项目摘要

ABSTRACT This application seeks funds for 5 years, to continue the current NIH-funded T32 program for Minority Health and Aging at the University of Texas Medical Branch (UTMB), to support 3 pre-doctoral and 1 postdoctoral trainees per year. The program aims to increase and improve the pool of researchers with relevant expertise to help address challenges raised by the growing diversity in aging of the United States population. Given our strengths in the areas of Hispanic/Latino aging with a multi-disciplinary, population-based perspective, we focus on factors related to health disparities involving these populations as well as under-represented groups in general. The post-doctoral fellows and the pre-doctoral students are housed in the Sealy Center on Aging, with which most T32 faculty are affiliated. The pre-doctoral students receive their degree from the School of Public and Population Health, and benefit by interacting with PhD students in other programs, funded by AHRQ and by the Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences. Our faculty have a long history of epidemiological, social and behavioral research on aging with particular strengths in Hispanic population aging. Of relevance to the proposed T32 is that UTMB is currently the home of two large population-based, longitudinal, cohort studies funded by the National Institute on Aging - the Hispanic Established Population for the Epidemiological Study of the Elderly (Hispanic EPESE) and the Mexican Health and Aging Study (MHAS). Our faculty hold multiple investigator-initiated grants, as well as multi-disciplinary research infrastructure grants on aging, including a Pepper Center for Independent Older Adults and a Resource Center for Minority Aging Research (RCMAR). The 26 faculty members affiliated with the T32 program represent research strengths in multiple disciplines - epidemiology, demography, anthropology, sociology, economics, public health, rehabilitation sciences, geriatrics, and health policy. They also represent five schools and various departments across the campus. Our plan is to build on our strengths and train scientists in social/ behavioral and epidemiological approaches related to aging in Hispanic/Latino populations as well as health disparities in general. As in our current program, we will make special efforts to recruit trainees from under-represented backgrounds, while all our trainees will focus their research on the health of minority older adults. Compared to our previous grant, new in our proposed program are: a) expanded group of mentors in the training program, b} a larger recruitment pool for pre-doctoral trainees, and c) one new area of development for trainees: skills for growing in diverse teams, including diversity in disciplines, race/ethnicity, gender, and seniority composition of the research teams.

摘要该申请寻求5年的资金，以继续目前NIH资助的少数民族T32计划健康和老龄化在得克萨斯州医学分支（UTMB）的大学，以支持3个博士前和1博士后学员每年。该计划旨在增加和改善研究人员的相关池我们的专业知识，以帮助解决日益多样化的美国人口老龄化所带来的挑战。考虑到我们在西班牙裔/拉丁裔老龄化领域的优势，以及多学科、以人口为基础的视角，我们关注与这些人群以及代表性不足的群体的健康差异相关的因素梗概. 博士后研究员和博士前学生住在西利老龄化中心，大多数T32教师都隶属于该组织。博士预科生从公共学院获得学位和人口健康，并通过与其他项目的博士生互动而受益，由AHRQ资助，生物医学科学研究生院我们的教师有着悠久的流行病学，社会和老龄化的行为研究，特别是西班牙裔人口老龄化的优势。与拟议的 T32是UTMB目前是两个大型的基于人群的纵向队列研究的所在地，国家老龄化研究所-西班牙裔老年人流行病学研究的既定人群墨西哥健康与老龄化研究（MHAS）。我们的教师举办了多个由教师发起的赠款，以及多学科的研究基础设施赠款老龄化，包括胡椒中心独立老年人和少数民族老龄化研究资源中心（RCMAR）。隶属于T32计划的26名教师代表了多个领域的研究优势。学科-流行病学、人口学、人类学、社会学、经济学、公共卫生、康复科学、老年医学和卫生政策。他们还代表了五所学校和各个部门，校园我们的计划是加强我们的优势，培养社会/行为和流行病学方面的科学家。与西班牙裔/拉丁裔人口老龄化以及一般健康差距有关的方法。在我们在目前的计划中，我们将特别努力从代表性不足的背景中招募学员，而所有我们的学员将集中研究少数族裔老年人的健康。与我们以前的赠款相比，新的在我们提出的计划是：a）扩大组的导师在培训计划，B}一个更大的招聘池为博士前学员，和c）一个新的领域的发展学员：技能的增长，在不同的团队，包括学科、种族/民族、性别和研究团队的资历组成的多样性。
