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，反映了美国人口的变化， 整体阿尔茨海默病和相关痴呆症（ADRD）的差异不成比例 以及缺乏证据基础来有效预防和减少种族和族裔少数群体 这些差异。迫切需要培养一批健康差距研究人员， 在临床实践和以社区为基础的设置在老龄化和ADRD差异的转化研究。 我的首要目标是这个K 07奖是提供培训和指导机会，在参与 研究原则、健康差异研究方法、系统科学方法和传播， 实施研究方法，同时召集跨学科教师和社区顾问网络 支持老龄化和ADRD差异研究的辅导职业发展机会。与此 我的建议是：1）建立一个研究培训计划，以建立学术能力和领导能力，以促进 老龄化和ADRD健康差异的科学; 2）推进创新参与，系统科学， 少数民族和健康差距中老龄化和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， 初级科学家在应用多层次，社区参与的框架和严格的方法，以推进 老龄科学和ADRD健康差异研究。大约50名教师和博士后研究员， 纽约大学将参加各种K 07培训，合作课程，以及老龄化和ADRD的试点项目 差距研究。此外，我将指导大约12名学员进行老龄化和ADRD研究。K07 奖励将为我提供必要的支持和时间：1）制定和正式制定一个强大的培训， 导师计划，将提供基础，确保T32或类似的培训机制，以建立 老龄化和ADRD差异研究的研究队伍管道; 2）将严格的培训制度化 将基本和尖端健康差距研究方法纳入现有基础设施的方案， 确保长期计划的可持续性; 3）深化我在系统科学方面的专业知识和领导能力 方法及其与参与性研究和实施科学框架的整合， 老化和ADRD研究。这个K 07奖的影响将加速衰老和ADRD的科学 研究和促进下一代老龄化和ADRD的培训和职业发展 研究人员解决NIA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.
