Strategies to Advance the National Research Council's Agenda on Minority Aging

项目摘要|摘要 我们代表NIA少数民族老龄化研究资源中心(RCMAR)，在RCMAR协调中心(CC)的领导下，为一年一度的五次科学研究会议系列申请资金。该系列的内容将集中在“推进国家研究理事会关于少数群体老龄化的议程的战略”。将从国家研究理事会(NRC)制定的研究议程“了解晚年健康中的种族和民族差异”(2004年)中为每一次会议选择关键主题和议程主题。 这一系列会议提供了一个翻译机会，将NRC的18项建议转移到下一步的研究开发中。2008年的会议将讨论少数群体研究项目的招募和保留，这是国家研究委员会所有建议的交叉问题，也是区域协调委员会为理解和改进做出了重要贡献的一个主题。在最近为NIA进行的一项分析中，我们发现RCMAR项目的教职员工已经发表了78篇期刊文章，并就这些主题提供了17份科学报告。2009年的会议将讨论少数民族老龄化研究中的测量和方法问题。从招募和方法，我们转移到2010年的干预发展问题。在2011年的会议上，我们将重点讨论分析技术的问题。2012年的会议将集中于写作技能的发展，并将讨论在少数民族老龄化研究中宏观(政策)系统和个人因素之间的联系。因此，这个为期五年的系列反映了翻译研究的关键要素：招聘、方法、干预发展、分析以及为出版和为政策提供信息而撰写的文章。 每一次会议都将产生一些重要的成果和产品，包括：每年至少为50名教员提供研究发展培训；每位与会者提供技能培养产品；印刷和网上资源材料；视频流方案；每年提交一份基于会议的科学出版物。

Project Summary | Abstract On behalf of the NIA Resource Centers for Minority Aging Research (RCMARs), with leadership by the RCMAR Coordinating Center (CC), we request funding for an annual series of five scientific research conferences. The content of the series will focus on "Strategies to Advance the National Research Council's Agenda on Minority Aging". Key themes and agenda topics will be selected for each conference from the research agenda developed by the National Research Council (NRC), "Understanding Racial and Ethnic Differences in Health in Late Life" (2004). This conference series provides a translational opportunity to move the NRC's 18 recommendations into the next steps of research development. The 2008 conference will address minority research project recruitment and retention, a cross cutting issue for all NRC recommendations and a topic that the RCMARs have made important contributions to understanding and improving. In a recent analysis for the NIA, we found that faculty from the RCMAR program had produced 78 journal articles and provided 17 scientific presentations on these topics. The 2009 conference will address measurement and methods issues in minority aging research. From recruitment and methods, we move to the issue of intervention development in 2010. For the 2011 conference we will feature the issue of analytic techniques. The 2012 conference will focus on writing skills development and will address the links between macro (policy) systems and individual factors in minority aging research. Thus the five-year series mirrors the key ingredients in translational research: recruitment, methods, intervention development, analysis, and writing for publication and to inform policy. Each of the conferences will generate a number of significant outcomes and products, including: research development training for a minimum of 50 faculty/year; skill building products by each attendee; print and web- based resource materials; video streaming programs; one scientific publication submission per year based on the conference.
