Academic Leadership Award in Alzheimer's Disease and Aging Research for Chau Trinh-Shevrin, DrPH

项目摘要 随着老年人口的增加，它也变得更加多样化，反映了美国人口结构的变化 完整的。阿尔茨海默病和相关痴呆症(ADRD)的负担不成比例 在种族和少数民族人口中存在的问题，以及缺乏有效预防和减少 这些差异。迫切需要培养一支能够推动健康差距研究的干部队伍 在临床实践和社区环境中关于老龄化和ADRD差异的翻译研究。 我颁发这个K07奖项的主要目的是提供参与式培训和指导机会 研究原则、健康差距研究方法、系统科学方法以及传播和 实施研究方法，同时召集跨学科教师和社区顾问网络 这为老龄化和ADRD差异研究的指导职业发展机会提供了支持。有了这个 建议我寻求：1)建立研究培训计划，以培养学术能力和领导力，以推动 老龄化科学和ADRD健康差距；2)推进创新的参与性、系统科学和 少数民族老龄化和ADRD研究的实施科学框架和方法 通过课程开发、试点奖励和应用培训机会对人口进行培训；以及3)导师 初级科学家应用多层次、社区参与的框架和严格的方法来推动 老龄化科学与ADRD健康差距研究。约50名教师和博士后研究员来自 纽约大学将参加各种K07培训、协作课程以及老龄和ADRD试点项目 差异研究。此外，我将在老龄化和ADRD研究方面指导大约12名学员。这款K07 获奖将为我提供必要的支持和时间：1)制定并正式实施强有力的培训和 导师计划，将为确保T32或类似培训机制的建立奠定基础 老龄化和ADRD差异研究的研究队伍；2)将严格的培训制度化 关于现有基础设施的基本和前沿健康差距研究方法的计划 确保项目的长期可持续性；以及3)加深我在系统科学方面的专业知识和领导力 方法及其与参与性研究和实施科学框架的结合 老龄化和ADRD研究。K07奖的影响将加速衰老科学和ADRD的发展 研究和促进下一代老龄和ADRD的培训和职业发展 研究人员解决NIA的优先事项。

Project Abstract As the older population increases, it is also becoming more diverse, reflecting U.S. demographic changes as a whole. There is a disproportionate burden of Alzheimer's Disease and Related Dementias (ADRD) disparities among racial and ethnic minority populations and the lack of an evidence base to effectively prevent and reduce these disparities. There is urgent need to cultivate a cadre of health disparities researchers who can advance translational research in aging and ADRD disparities in both clinical practices and community-based settings. My overarching aim with this K07 award is to provide training and mentorship opportunities in participatory research principles, health disparities research methods, systems science approaches, and dissemination and implementation research methods while convening a network of transdisciplinary faculty andcommunity advisors that supports mentored career development opportunities for aging and ADRD disparities research. With this proposal I seek to: 1) Establish a research training program to build academic capacity and leadership to advance the science of aging and ADRD health disparities; 2) Advance innovative participatory, systems science, and implementation science frameworks and methods for aging and ADRD research in minority and health disparity populations through curriculum development, pilot awards, and applied training opportunities; and 3) Mentor junior scientists in applying multi-level, community-engaged frameworks and rigorous methods to advance the science of aging and ADRD health disparities research. Approximately 50 faculty and postdoctoral fellows from NYU will participate in various K07 trainings, collaborative courses, and pilot projects for aging and ADRD disparities research. In addition, I will mentor approximately 12 mentees in aging and ADRD research. This K07 award will provide necessary support and time for me to: 1) develop and formalize a robust training and mentorship program that would provide the foundation for securing a T32 or similar training mechanisms to build the research workforce pipeline for aging and ADRD disparities research; 2) institutionalize a rigorous training program on fundamental and cutting-edge health disparities research methods into existing infrastructures to ensure long-term program sustainability; and 3) deepen my expertise and leadership in system science approaches and its integration with participatory research and implementation science frameworks relevant to aging and ADRD research. The impact of this K07 award will both accelerate the science of aging and ADRD disparities research and promote the training and career development of the next generation of aging and ADRD researchers to address NIA priorities.
