RCMAR - Analysis Core

分析核心 摘要 南加州大学少数族裔老龄资源中心的使命 少数民族老龄化健康经济研究中心(USC RCMAR)， 是提供基础设施和资源，以支持代表不足的学生取得学术成功 少数民族研究人员，称为RCMAR科学家，并增加 老龄化中的研究人员。南加州大学RCMAR的重点是使用纵向调查和索赔- 基于数据来源，以确定因果路径：即(1)社会、经济和环境 导致身体疾病和认知功能差异的因素；以及(2)健康 医疗保健和药品使用方面的差距造成的后果。分析核心 将建立在其作为支持RCMAR科学家的数据和分析部门的成功基础上，以便 他们开发的研究项目导致了独立的资金来源。分析核心，利用 我们在南加州大学的合作伙伴NIA资助的中心资源丰富，将提供数据和 分析。分析核心将通过以下方式促进所有RCMAR的研究和方法 客座科学家计划。分析核心将产生新的创新研究 运用基于经济学方法和理论的多学科方法 辅以医学、老年学、心理学和社会工作的工具。

Analysis Core Abstract The mission of the University of Southern California’s Resource Centers for Minority Aging Research, the Center for the Minority Aging Health Economics Research Center (USC RCMAR), is to provide infrastructure and resources to support the academic success of underrepresented minority researchers, called RCMAR scientists, and to increase the number and diversity of researchers in aging. The focus of the USC RCMAR is on using longitudinal survey and claims- based data sources to identify causal pathways: i.e., (1) social, economic and environmental factors driving disparities in physical disease and cognitive functioning; and (2) health consequences of disparities in medical care and pharmaceutical utilization. The Analysis Core will build on its successes as the data and analytical arm supporting RCMAR scientists so that the research programs they develop lead to independent funding. The Analysis Core, utilizing the rich resources of our partner NIA-funded Centers at USC, will provide workshops in data and analytics. The Analysis Core will promote research and methods across all RCMARs through a visiting scientist program. The Analysis Core will generate new lines of innovative research employing a multidisciplinary approach based on methods and theories from economics complemented by the tools from medicine, gerontology, psychology and social work.
