Project Summary/Abstract Minorities remain underrepresented in aging-research-related professions, including demography and economics of aging, health, and health care. In health services research (HSR), which studies the organization, financing, and delivery of health care and provides an evidence base that is central to addressing issues of care quality, access, affordability, and equity, Blacks and Hispanics accounting for only 6.9% and 3.7%, respectively, of the HSR workforce.[1] In economics there has been an almost 20-year stagnation in the number of degrees, Bachelors or Doctorate, awarded to women and underrepresented minorities, despite improvements in other STEM fields.[2] Yet underrepresented researchers bring essential diverse perspectives and, often, personal experiences to bear in understanding the social, economic, political, and environmental determinants of racial and ethnic disparities in health and health care. Pipeline programs in aging are critical to providing more diversity in the workforce as well as to developing creative, culturally appropriate and sensitive solutions to issues associated with racial and ethnic health disparities in aging populations. We propose a new pipeline program, Get Experience in Aging Research Undergraduate Program (GEAR UP), in order to develop talented underrepresented minorities seeking research careers with a focus in the demography and economics of aging, health, and health care, and particularly health disparities in diverse communities. Building on the innovations in Penn’s Population Aging and Research Center (PARC) and the Leonard Davis Institute of Health Economics’ (LDI’s) infrastructure for research, collaboration, and undergraduate training, we aim to enhance the diversity of the research workforce in the demography and economics of aging, health, and health care by providing exciting mentored research experiences to undergraduates for two consecutive summers, supplemented with programming throughout the academic year. This 15-month program provides students an opportunity to grow and enhance the skills in their toolbox, enrich their relationships with mentors and colleagues, and get more deeply involved and committed to aging research. The goal of this program is to motivate undergraduate scholars to dedicate their lives to addressing societal problems through research.

项目摘要/摘要 在与衰老有关的职业中，少数民族的人数不足，包括欺骗和 衰老，健康和医疗保健经济学。卫生服务研究（HSR），研究 组织，融资和提供医疗保健，并提供证据基础，这对于解决 护理质量，访问，负担能力和权益问题，黑人和西班牙裔仅占6.9％， HSR劳动力分别为3.7％。[1]在经济学方面，已经存在了将近20年的停滞 授予妇女和代表性不足的少数族裔的学位，学士或博士学位数量 其他茎场的改进。[2]然而，代表性不足的研究人员带来了重要的潜水员观点 而且，通常是个人经验，以理解社会，经济，政治和环境 卫生和卫生保健中种族和种族差异的决定因素。 老龄化的管道计划对于提供更多的劳动力以及发展至关重要 对与种族和种族健康相关的问题的创造性，适当和敏感的解决方案 老龄化人口的差异。我们提出了一个新的管道计划，获得老化研究的经验 本科课程（Gear UP），以发展有才华的人数不足的少数群体寻求 研究职业重点是衰老，健康和医疗保健的障碍和经济学，以及 尤其是潜水员社区的健康差异。基于宾夕法尼亚州人口老化的创新 研究中心（PARC）和伦纳德·戴维斯（Leonard Davis）卫生经济学研究所（LDI）的基础设施 研究，协作和本科培训，我们旨在提高研究人员的多样性 通过提供令人兴奋的研究，在衰老，卫生和医疗保健的销售和经济学中 在两个连续两个夏天的本科生的经验，并在整个过程中补充了编程 学年。这个15个月的计划为学生提供了发展和增强技能的机会 他们的工具箱，丰富与导师和同事的关系，并更深入地参与 致力于衰老研究。该计划的目的是激励本科学者专门 通过研究来解决社会问题。
