The central goal of this conference is to provide a forum for investigators committed to issues of minority health to share expertise and experience, particularly with respect to strategies for and barriers to the involvement of older ethnic and racial minority populations in both field and clinical research. The conference represents a unique collaboration among the National Institutes of Health Resource Centers for Minority Aging Research and those Claude Pepper Older Americans Independence Centers and Edward R. Roybal Centers for Research on Applied Gerontology with special emphasis on minority populations. Presenters will include investigators who have successfully recruited minority older adults to clinical trials and "field studies," as well as those with expertise in cultural factors that may affect participation of older minority adults in health-related research. The content will be empirically-based and will build on projects funded by the National Institute on Aging. The specific aims of the conference are to: 1) examine the current science of recruitment and retention of research volunteers in older ethnic and racial minority populations; 2) using this scientific research base, stimulate critical thinking and discussion in four core scientific domains: cultural competence, barriers to participation, ethical considerations, and implementing recruitment and retention activities; 3) disseminate cutting edge scientific findings of investigators who have demonstrated effective approaches to ensure inclusion of minority populations in clinical and survey research; 4) provide a forum for constructive brainstorming and collaboration among investigators to develop approaches for meeting federal guidelines in this area; and 5) produce a series of scientific articles and related materials of use to investigators and others interested in enhancing involvement of older ethnic minorities in clinical and survey research.

本次会议的中心目标是为致力于少数民族健康问题的研究人员提供一个论坛，以分享专业知识和经验，特别是在老年少数民族和种族人口参与实地和临床研究的策略和障碍方面。 这次会议代表了美国国立卫生研究院少数族裔老龄化研究资源中心与克劳德·佩珀美国老年人独立中心和爱德华·罗伊巴尔应用老年学研究中心之间的独特合作，特别关注少数族裔人口。 演讲者将包括成功招募少数族裔老年人参加临床试验和“实地研究”的研究人员，以及在可能影响少数族裔老年人参与健康相关研究的文化因素方面具有专业知识的研究人员。 内容将以经验为基础，并将以国家老龄化研究所资助的项目为基础。 会议的具体目标是： 1）审查当前在老年少数民族和少数族裔人口中招募和保留研究志愿者的科学； 2）利用这一科学研究基地，激发四个核心科学领域的批判性思维和讨论：文化能力、参与障碍、道德考虑以及实施招募和保留活动； 3) 传播研究人员的前沿科学发现，这些研究人员已经证明了确保将少数群体纳入临床和调查研究的有效方法； 4) 为调查人员之间进行建设性的集思广益和合作提供一个论坛，以制定符合该领域联邦指导方针的方法； 5) 编写一系列科学文章和相关材料，供研究人员和其他有兴趣加强老年少数族裔参与临床和调查研究的人使用。
