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.

项目概要/摘要 少数族裔在老龄化研究相关专业中的代表性仍然不足，包括人口统计学和 老龄化、健康和医疗保健的经济学。 医疗保健的组织、融资和提供，并提供对于解决问题至关重要的证据基础 护理质量、可及性、负担能力和公平性问题，黑人和西班牙裔仅占 6.9%， 分别占高铁劳动力的 3.7%。[1] 在经济方面，经济停滞了近 20 年。 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，尽管 其他 STEM 领域的进步。[2] 但代表性不足的研究人员带来了重要的多元化观点 通常，个人经历有助于理解社会、经济、政治和环境 健康和保健方面种族和民族差异的决定因素。 老龄化方面的管道计划对于提供劳动力的更多多样性以及发展至关重要 针对与种族和族裔健康相关的问题提供创造性的、文化上适当的和敏感的解决方案 我们提出了一个新的管道计划，“获取老龄化研究经验”。 本科课程（GEAR UP），旨在培养有才华的少数族裔寻求 研究职业重点是老龄化、健康和医疗保健的人口学和经济学，以及 尤其是不同社区的健康差异。 研究中心 (PARC) 和伦纳德戴维斯健康经济研究所 (LDI) 的基础设施 研究、合作和本科生培训，我们的目标是增强研究人员的多样性 通过提供令人兴奋的指导研究，在老龄化、健康和医疗保健的人口统计学和经济学领域开展研究 连续两个暑假为本科生提供体验，并在整个暑假期间辅以编程 这个为期 15 个月的课程为学生提供了成长和提高技能的机会。 他们的工具箱，丰富他们与导师和同事的关系，并更深入地参与和 该项目的目标是激励本科生致力于衰老研究。 致力于通过研究解决社会问题。
