Advancing aging research through development of minority Gerontologists

项目负责人/主要研究者（最后，第一，中间）：Duttaroy，Atanu 项目摘要 霍华德大学的推进老龄化研究多样性（HUADAR）计划始于2014年， 目标是加强老龄问题生物医学和临床研究队伍的多样性。的 霍华德大学的制度环境完全证明了开发一个 HUADAR计划在霍华德大学，因为它仍然致力于超过世纪， 培训代表性不足的少数民族学生。在过去的五年里，我们成功地实现了这一目标。 通过招募44名成绩优异的学生，其中93%是非洲裔美国人。我们保留了89% (39/44），其中24人在2019年5月前完成学士学位， 还有15个在筹备中到目前为止，24人中有9人已攻读高级学位 MSTEM（Ph.D.，MD、DDS）和城市固体废物，从而实现PAR- 17-290.其余15名毕业生目前正在追求MSTEM的利益，同时准备 进入高级学位课程。毕业生继续与HUADAR保持联系， 我们相信，他们将追求各种老龄化相关的研究事业完成后， 高级学位。拟议的培训是一个结构化的，指导，动手研究， 三年以上的教育经验。除了参加有关老龄化的课程外， 体验将包括两个新的组成部分：（1）通过在线论坛，HUADAR学生将 就老龄化的最新发展进行对话，以及（2）自我护理讨论会 管理与老龄化相关的研究经历包括（1）从事研究的机会 在学年期间与HUADAR导师，（2）夏季研究学徒机会 在领先的老龄化研究机构，包括国家老龄化研究所（内部）， 巴肖普长寿研究所、南加州大学和杜兰大学 老龄问题中心，（3）有机会发表和在国家会议上发言，以及（4）一对一 指导，以建立一个成功的职业道路。所有的学生和人员将被要求获得 负责任的研究行为认证。为了评估我们的计划的有效性，我们邀请了一位 第三方评估公司，作为我们的外部评估员。HUADAR的评估计划将包括 课程评估，教师效能调查，夏季研究经验调查，保留和 HUADAR毕业生进入研究生和专业的毕业率和录取率 学校和研究生参与老龄化研究和老年医学专业。在这个竞争激烈的 更新，我们建议继续我们的计划，以实现国家投资局阿达尔倡议的目标，以多样化 研究人员集中在老龄化上。 PHS 398/2590（Rev.06/09）

Program Director/Principal Investigator (Last, First, Middle): Duttaroy, Atanu Project Summary Howard University's Advancing Diversity in Aging Research (HUADAR) initiative began in 2014 with the goal of enhancing diversity of the biomedical and clinical research workforce on aging. The institutional environment at Howard University perfectly justifies the rationales for developing a HUADAR program at Howard University since it remains committed for more than a century in training underrepresented minority students. Over the last five years we have successfully fulfilled this goal by recruiting 44 high achieving students, 93% of them African American. We retained 89% (39/44) of our initial recruits, with 24 completing their Bachelors degree through May 2019, with another 15 remaining in the pipeline. So far, nine out of 24 have enrolled in advanced degree programs in MSTEM (Ph.D., MD, DDS) and MSW, thus fulfilling the goals of NIA as outlined in PAR- 17-290. The remaining 15 graduates are currently pursuing MSTEM interests while preparing to enter into an advanced degree program. Graduates remain continually in contact with HUADAR and we are confident that they will pursue various aging related research careers upon completion of their advance degrees. The proposed training is a structured, mentored, hands-on research and educational experience over three years. Apart from enrolling in courses on aging, educational experiences will include two new components: (1) through online forums HUADAR students will engage in dialogue about latest developments in aging, and (2) discussion session on self-care management. Aging related research experiences include (1) opportunities to engage in research during the academic year with HUADAR mentors, (2) summer research apprenticeship opportunities in leading research institutes on aging, including the National Institutes on Aging (intramural), the Barshop Institute for Longevity Research, the University of Southern California, and Tulane University Centre for Aging, (3) opportunities to publish and present at national meetings, and (4) one-on-one mentoring to build a successful career path. All students and personnel will be required to obtain the Responsible Conduct of Research certification. To assess our program's efficacy we invited a third-party evaluation firm, as our External Evaluator. The evaluation plan for HUADAR will consist of course evaluations, faculty efficacy surveys, summer research experience surveys, retention and graduation rates, and acceptance rates of HUADAR graduates into graduate and professional schools, and postgraduate involvement in aging research and geriatric specialties. In this competitive renewal, we propose to continue our program to fulfill the goal of the NIA ADAR initiative to diversify the research workforce focused on aging.
