CHIME Leadership and Administrative Core

RCMAR CHINE领导和管理核心项目总结 我们的目标是通过指导和发展少数民族教员来改善老年少数民族人口的健康 他们的热情和职业生涯致力于减少中国最脆弱老年人的健康差距 我们的国家。领导和行政核心(LAC)将使中心专注于解决 主题为“制定、调整和评估改善少数民族老年人健康的干预措施”， 它结合了RFA两个科学重点领域的要素：i)确定和制定解决方案，以消除 老年人口增长中的健康差距和健康不平等，以及二)改善健康和 老年人的福祉。为这项竞争性续签申请提出的加州大学洛杉矶分校CHIME LAC有9个 具体目标：1)提供科学和智力的领导和战略方向，以保持我们的科学 焦点；2)为加州大学洛杉矶分校提供运营管理和密切的财务监督 与国家协调中心和NIA的关键互动；3)监督年度飞行员选择 与REC合作进行的研究，解决CHINE的主题并确定与其他NIA-或 NIH资助的中心(包括其他RCMAR)，或有适当导师的资助项目 感兴趣的内容领域，并将建议的试点研究提交给NIA项目官员，供其批准 非竞争延续；4)确保RCMAR的科学家、研究人员和导师互动 与加州大学洛杉矶分校及其附属机构的同事无缝连接，并保持信息流；5)确保 继续征聘和保留代表人数不足的背景的调查人员(RCMAR科学家) 以及附属机构之间的指导、培训和协作关系的可行性；6) 完成CHINE半年度报告，将CHINE的科学成果作为对国家的贡献 能够改善少数民族老年人健康的科学、卫生政策和卫生实践；7)组织 预定的外部咨询小组会议和社区行动委员会会议；8)协助 机构审查委员会为所有试点研究提交的材料，并协助社区招聘和 留住少数族裔长者；9)评估所有REC课程的质量、表现和结果 活动，试点研究，并跟踪RCMAR科学家是否在适当的轨道上前进 转向独立资助的研究事业。

Project Summary for the RCMAR CHIME Leadership and Administrative Core Our goal is to improve the health of older minority populations by mentoring and developing minority faculty whose passion and careers are devoted to reducing health disparities for the most vulnerable older adults in our country. The Leadership and Administrative Core (LAC) will keep the center focused on addressing the theme of “Developing, Adapting and Evaluating Interventions to Improve the Health of Minority Elders”, which incorporates elements of two RFA areas of scientific focus: i) identify and develop solutions to eliminate health disparities and health inequities in the growing population of older adults, and ii) improve the health and well-being of older adults. The proposed UCLA CHIME LAC for this competitive renewal application has 9 specific aims: 1) to provide scientific and intellectual leadership and strategic direction to maintain our scientific focus; 2) to provide operational management and close financial oversight of UCLA CHIME and facilitate all critical interactions with the National Coordinating Center and NIA; 3) to oversee the annual selection of pilot studies in partnership with the REC that address CHIME’s theme and identify collaborations with other NIA- or NIH- funded Centers (including other RCMARs), or funded projects with the appropriate mentors for the content area of interest, and to submit the recommended pilot studies to NIA Project Officers for approval with the non-competing continuation; 4) to ensure that RCMAR scientists, researchers and mentors interact seamlessly with colleagues at UCLA and affiliated institutions and to maintain information flow; 5) to ensure the continued recruitment and retention of investigators from underrepresented backgrounds (RCMAR Scientists) and the viability of mentoring, training, and collaborative relationships among affiliated institutions; 6) to complete the CHIME semi-annual report, presenting CHIME’s scientific results as contributions to the state of the science, health policy, and health practices that can improve the health of minority elders; 7) to organize scheduled External Advisory Group meeting and Community Action Board meetings; 8) to assist with Institutional Review Board submissions for all pilot studies and to assist with community-based recruitment and retention of minority elders; 9) to evaluate the quality, performance, and outcomes of all REC curricular activities, pilot studies, and to track whether RCMAR Scientists are advancing on an appropriate trajectory toward independently funded research careers.
