Abstract Over the last decade, U.S. prisons have experienced a 300% increase in people aged 55 or older. Research to understand the life course experiences and drivers of later life health disparities in this population is in its infancy. Despite the stark overrepresentation of people of racial or ethnic minority groups in the prison and jail population, research about the racial/ethnic health disparities that might be present in this population is limited. The ARCH Network was developed to bring together national researchers dedicated to studying the experiences of criminal justice-involved older adults and the drivers of later life health disparities in this population and to support researchers in developing innovative research questions and methodologies to advance this nascent field. The COVID-19 pandemic has only further highlighted the need for community- driven research on the health needs of incarcerated older adults. We propose an administrative supplement to support a Black early career investigator in conducting the critical foundational work needed to understand how incarcerated older adults, their loved ones, and their healthcare providers want to be engaged in research design and analysis. We will use that information to create an “Inside-Outside” Community Advisory Board (CAB) comprised of people who are in prison and in the community and work with the CAB to design a program of research in this area. The research and training proposed in this application will provide foundational knowledge to advance both the career of the diversity supplement candidate and the field of correctional health and aging.

抽象的 过去 10 年，美国监狱中 55 岁或以上的人增加了 300%。 了解该人群的生命历程经历和晚年健康差异的驱动因素 尽管监狱和监狱中少数族裔群体的比例明显过高。 对于该人群中可能存在的种族/民族健康差异的研究是有限的。 ARCH 网络的开发是为了将致力于研究该问题的国家研究人员聚集在一起 涉及刑事司法的老年人的经历以及晚年健康差异的驱动因素 人口并支持研究人员开发创新的研究问题和方法 COVID-19 大流行进一步凸显了社区的必要性。 我们建议对被监禁老年人的健康需求进行一项行政补充。 支持黑人早期职业调查员开展关键的基础工作，以了解如何 被监禁的老年人、他们的亲人和他们的医疗保健提供者希望参与研究 我们将利用这些信息来创建一个“由内而外”的社区咨询委员会。 (CAB) 由监狱和社区中的人员组成，并与 CAB 合作设计一个 本申请中提出的研究和培训计划将提供。 促进多样性补充候选人的职业生涯和领域的基础知识 矫正健康和老龄化。
