Abstract: Community Liaison and Recruitment Core: (CLRC) While overall US Asians are the highest-income, best-educated minority group, more Asians live below the poverty line compared to white Americans, are less likely to enroll in biomedical research, and are more likely than white Americans to experience disparities in many social and health outcomes. Perhaps equally important, there has been inadequate community engagement and support necessary to empower the Asian American community to be fully engaged in biomedical research. These impediments necessitate further development and implementation of sustainable and equitable partnerships among the Asian American community and researchers through collaborative research development and reciprocal transfer of knowledge and expertise to improve the health of the U.S. Asian population. Chicago is the ideal setting for this Asian RCMAR as it has one of the most diverse and large Asian populations in the U.S. Illinois has the fifth largest Asian population in the U.S., which is primarily concentrated in the greater Chicago area. From 2000 to 2010, there was a 39% growth in Asian Americans in the Chicago metro area, with a 40% increase living in poverty. Our RCMAR and this CLRC are founded on decades of our assembled investigators' deep engagement, trust, and research with a wide range of Asian populations in Chicago. Such substantial engagement and relationships will create the essential scaffolding to catalyze an increase the much-needed research and scientific workforce development necessary to reduce disparities among and improve the health of Asian older adults. To accomplish this, we propose a synergistic multi-level strategy that optimizes research recruitment, retention, and engagement through the following specific aims: 1) At the Community Partner Level: Build a sustainable and collaborative community steering committee connecting community and academic institutions for community-engaged, action-oriented health promotion research in Chicago Asian older adult populations; 2) At the Individual Community Member and Scholar Levels: Expand community-engaged research capacity among RCMAR Scholars and Asian community members through culturally-appropriate, community-tailored, reciprocal education and training in biomedical and behavioral research to fully understand the barriers, challenges, socio-cultural context of conducting research in and with Asian communities; 3) At the Individual Research Participant Level: Facilitate the recruitment and retention of Asian older adults, through an innovative, culturally, and linguistically appropriate research literacy support tool; 4) Translate RCMAR research findings at community, state, regional and national levels to inform practice and policy coordinating with other RCMAR cores, with National RCMAR Centers and other aging population research centers. Through these systematic, multi-level approaches and based on our deep community and ethnographic experiences over the last decade, our Chicago Asian RCMAR will begin to fill the dire gap in research and in the research workforce focused on U.S. older Asians.

摘要：社区联络和招聘核心：（CLRC） 虽然总体而言，美国亚裔是收入最高、受教育程度最高的少数群体，但更多的亚裔生活在贫困线以下 与美国白人相比，处于贫困线，参加生物医学研究的可能性较小，并且更有可能 与美国白人相比，他们在许多社会和健康结果方面经历了差异。也许同样 重要的是，社区参与和支持亚洲人的能力还不够。 美国社会要全力投入生物医学研究。这些障碍需要进一步 亚裔美国人之间可持续和公平的伙伴关系的发展和实施 社区和研究人员通过合作研究开发和知识相互转移 和专业知识来改善美国亚裔人口的健康。 芝加哥是亚洲 RCMAR 的理想举办地，因为它拥有亚洲最多元化、规模最大的地区之一 美国人口 伊利诺伊州的亚裔人口在美国排名第五，主要集中在 在大芝加哥地区。从 2000 年到 2010 年，芝加哥的亚裔美国人增长了 39% 都市区，贫困人口增加了 40%。我们的 RCMAR 和 CLRC 建立在我们数十年的经验之上 汇集了研究人员与广泛的亚洲人群的深入接触、信任和研究 芝加哥。这种实质性的参与和关系将为促进 增加急需的研究和科学劳动力发展，以减少 亚洲老年人之间的差异并改善他们的健康。为了实现这一目标，我们提出了一种协同 通过以下方式优化研究招募、保留和参与的多层次战略 具体目标： 1) 在社区合作伙伴层面：建立可持续和协作的社区指导 连接社区和学术机构的委员会，以促进社区参与、面向行动的健康 芝加哥亚裔老年人口的促进研究； 2) 在个人社区成员处以及 学者级别：扩大 RCMAR 学者和亚洲人的社区参与研究能力 社区成员通过适合文化的、针对社区的、互惠的教育和培训 生物医学和行为研究，以充分了解障碍、挑战和社会文化背景 在亚洲社区中或与亚洲社区一起进行研究； 3) 在个人研究参与者层面：促进 通过创新、文化和语言的方式招募和留住亚洲老年人 适当的研究素养支持工具； 4) 将 RCMAR 研究成果转化为社区、州、地区 和国家层面，为与其他 RCMAR 核心、国家 RCMAR 协调的实践和政策提供信息 中心和其他老龄化人口研究中心。通过这些系统性、多层次的方法和 基于我们过去十年深厚的社区和民族志经验，我们的芝加哥亚洲 RCMAR 将开始填补针对美国老年亚洲人的研究和研究人员的巨大空白。
