社区老年人“移动中”团体运动计划改善活动能力的有效性 Gardenia Juarez是第一代西班牙裔/拉丁裔妇女，是一名有前途的康复科学研究生， 有兴趣从事老龄化和实施科学研究的职业。补充活动将集中在女士。 华雷斯的研究和职业发展。这些活动将在Jennifer Brach，PhD，PT， FAPTA是一位成功的衰老和康复科学研究导师，也是母研究的主要研究者。的 研究和职业发展目标与母基金的活动密切相关，并得到 Brach博士的研究实验室的基础设施和资源，以及她在移动中（OTM）正在进行的工作 循证锻炼计划。华雷斯女士的补充研究项目的目的是：1）确定 组织环境的决定因素（障碍和促进因素），以采用OTM和2）检查 组织情境决定因素与可接受性、适当性和可行性的关联 实施OTM。Juarez女士将通过成为多学科研究团队的一员获得丰富的经验 进行一项大规模的随机分组试验她将与所有研究者（海滩、Freburger和 Weiner），并参加所有的研究小组会议。具体而言，她将参与确定措施 组织背景的决定因素，招募和登记组织的研究，协助面试， 焦点小组（包括非采用者组织），参与定性数据的编码和分析，以及 对调查结果的解释。该项目将作为Juarez女士的博士论文，Brach博士将担任 博士委员会。她将与Brach博士和她的论文委员会合作，在一个研讨会上传播她的发现。 适当的科学会议和同行评审的出版物。华雷斯女士的职业发展计划使她 获得先进的知识，在老龄化，健康促进和实施科学领域和必要的 进行社区研究的职业技能。职业发展目标将通过女士完成。 华雷斯的研究生培训和支持本补充包括：1）发展知识的老龄化和健康 推广; 2）发展实施科学原则的知识; 3）获得设计和实施的技能 临床试验; 4）获得定性方法的技能; 5）培养领导力和重要的专业技能 为学术界。我们预计，在这一职业发展计划结束时，华雷斯女士将有必要的 知识和技能，以追求下一阶段的科学培训，博士后奖学金在实施科学 还是一名初级教员

Effectiveness of the On the Move group exercise program to improve mobility in community-dwelling older adults Gardenia Juarez, a first-generation Hispanic/Latina woman, is a promising rehabilitation science graduate student who is interested in pursuing a career in aging and implementation science research. Supplemental activities will focus on Ms. Juarez’s research and career development. These activities will occur under the mentorship of Jennifer Brach, PhD, PT, FAPTA, a successful aging and rehabilitation science research mentor and Principal Investigator of the parent study. The research and career development aims are strongly linked with the activities in the parent grant and supported by the infrastructure and resources of Dr. Brach’s research laboratory and her ongoing work with the On the Move (OTM) evidence-based exercise program. The aims of Ms. Juarez’s supplemental research project are to 1) identify organizational contextual determinants (barriers and facilitators) to the adoption of OTM and 2) examine the associations of organizational contextual determinants to the acceptability, appropriateness, and feasibility of implementing OTM. Ms. Juarez will obtain robust experience by being a part of a multi-disciplinary research team conducting a large cluster-randomized trial. She will interact with all study investigators (Drs. Beach, Freburger and Weiner) and participate in all research team meetings. Specifically, she will participate in the identification of measures of organizational contextual determinants, recruit and enroll organizations into the study, assist in the interviews and focus groups (including non-adopter organizations), participate in the coding and analyses of qualitative data, and interpretation of the findings. This project will serve as Ms. Juarez’s doctoral dissertation with Dr. Brach as the chair of her doctoral committee. She will work with Dr. Brach and her dissertation committee to disseminate her findings at an appropriate scientific meeting and through peer-reviewed publications. Ms. Juarez’s career development plan allows her to acquire advanced knowledge in the areas of aging, health promotion, and implementation science and the necessary skills for a career conducting community-based research. Career development goals to be accomplished through Ms. Juarez’s graduate training and supported by this supplement include: 1) develop knowledge of aging and health promotion; 2) develop knowledge of implementation science principles; 3) acquire skills in designing and conducting clinical trials; 4) acquire skills in qualitative methodologies; and 5) develop leadership and professional skills important for academia. We anticipate that at the end of this career development plan, Ms. Juarez will have the necessary knowledge and skills to pursue the next phase of scientific training, a post-doctoral fellowship in implementation science or a career as a junior faculty member.
