CORE--INVESTIGATOR DEVELOPMENT

该核心将有两个主要组成部分。 首先，它将选择拉丁美洲人 人口。 这些试点研究将由少数人领导或共同领导。 研究人员在初级教师的水平和监督下， RCARDP的核心教师或附属老龄化研究人员在加州大学旧金山分校。 第二，核心将创建一个项目来传播研究成果 向所有感兴趣的受众提供信息，包括社区组织、保健组织、 专业人员和受训人员以及非洲内部的意见领袖- 美国和拉丁裔社区。 该核心的具体目标 （1）建立一个具有少数民族问题专门知识的调查员网络， 健康和老龄化，选择试点研究提供资金，并协助和 指导这些经验不足的少数民族调查人员进行 2）资助至少15项试点研究， 五年，包括第一年的三年，将由一个 少数民族调查员; 3）协助少数民族调查员， 开展试点研究，以制定和提交独立的研究提案 根据收集的数据; 4）建立一个程序， 传播有关技术的研究信息， 研究涉及非洲裔美国人和拉丁美洲老龄化人口。

This core will have two major components. First, it will select Latino populations. These pilot studies will be led or co-led by minority investigators at the junior-faculty level and supervised by the RCARDP's core faculty or by affiliated aging investigators at UCSF. Second, the core will create a program to disseminate research information to all interested audiences including CBOs, health-care professionals and trainees and opinion leaders within the African- American and Latino communities. The specific aims for this core are: 1) to establish a network of investigators with expertise in minority health and aging, to select pilot studies to be funded, and to assist and mentor these less-experienced minority investigators in conducting their pilot studies; 2) to fund a minimum of fifteen pilot studies over five years, including three in year 1 which will be led or co-led by a minority investigator; 3) to assist minority investigators funded by the pilot studies to develop and submit an independent research proposal based on the data collected; and 4) to establish a program for disseminating research information regarding techniques used in research involving African-American and Latino aging populations.
