DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application is for a K24 Midcareer Investigator Award in Patient-Oriented Research to promote mentoring and career development in community-academic partnered research that improves the quality of life of low income and minority seniors. Dr. Catherine Sarkisian, PI of the proposed award, is a geriatrician and scientist committed to working to improve the quality of life of low-income ethnically diverse older adults. For over 12 years she has conducted empiric patient-oriented community-partnered research studies focused on increasing successful aging among vulnerable seniors. She has built strong relationships with a vast network of community partners in the local and national aging services network, and in 2010 launched the Los Angeles Community-Academic Partnership for Research in Aging (L.A. CAPRA) Center - a partnership between UCLA Division of Geriatrics and the City of Los Angeles Department of Aging. The mission of the L.A. CAPRA Center is to facilitate and implement community-partnered research that leads to meaningful health outcomes and improves the quality of life of lower income seniors across the largest and (arguably) most ethnically diverse city in the United States. Now that the original NIA grant for L.A. CAPRA Center is ending, this virtual center is thriving as Dr. Sarkisian and several of her colleagues are currently using the L.A. CAPRA Center infrastructure to support community- partnered aging research, including an NIH-funded study Dr. Sarkisian is leading implementing and testing an intervention to decrease stroke risk and increase physical activity in 4 different racial/ethnic groups of older adults (African-Americans, Chinese-Americans, Korean Americans and Latinos). Currently there are no NIA K24 awards devoted to community-partnered research or research focused on minority seniors. To fill this gap, Dr. Sarkisian seeks support from an NIA K24 award in order to: 1) solidify a program of patient-oriented community-partnered research that utilizes the L.A. CAPRA Center infrastructure to implement and rigorously evaluate sustainable programs that improve quality of life of lower income ethnically diverse seniors and that can be disseminated though the national aging services network; and 2) gain advanced skills in implementation science that will facilitate the impact of Dr. Sarkisian's research career; 3) mentor a cadre of research fellows and junior faculty who will become the next generation of translational researchers in aging. Dr. Sarkisian has a substantial and growing track record of mentorship; the requested K24 support would allow her to free herself from current clinical responsibilities so that she can focus 75% of her time completely on research and mentoring.

描述（由申请人提供）：此申请是针对以患者为导向研究的K24中级护理研究者奖，以促进社区学术合作研究中的指导和职业发展，从而改善了低收入和少数族裔老年人的生活质量。拟议奖的PI Catherine Sarkisian博士是一位老年医生和科学家，致力于改善低收入种族多元化的老年人的生活质量。在12年以上，她进行了经验性的以患者为导向的社区合作研究，重点是增加弱势老年人的成功衰老。她与本地和国家老化服务网络中的广阔社区合作伙伴网络建立了牢固的关系，并于2010年建立了洛杉矶社区 - 学术学术伙伴关系的老化研究中心（L.A. CAPRA）中心，这是UCLA老年人科与洛杉矶市洛杉矶城市之间的合作伙伴关系。洛杉矶CAPRA中心的任务是促进和实施社区合作的研究，从而导致有意义的健康成果，并改善美国最大和（可以说）最多样化的城市的低收入老年人的生活质量。现在，洛杉矶Capra中心的原始NIA赠款即将结束，这个虚拟中心正蓬勃发展，因为Sarkisian博士及其几位同事目前正在使用洛杉矶Capra中心基础设施来支持社区合作的老龄化研究，包括NIH资助的研究，包括一项NIH资助的研究萨基斯式的萨基西亚博士，以降低了老年人的风险，以降低了老年人的风险/竞争者的阶段，而erake ersect and Nickent car nistic car niks car nistic进行了4种不同的活动。 （非裔美国人，中国美国人，韩裔美国人和拉丁美洲人）。目前，没有NIA K24奖项专门针对少数族裔老年人的社区合作研究或研究。为了填补这一空白，Sarkisian博士寻求NIA K24奖的支持：1）巩固一项以患者为导向的社区合作的研究计划，该计划利用洛杉矶Capra中心基础设施实施和严格评估可持续性计划，以改善较低的民族多样性老年人的生活质量，该计划可以改善较低的民族多样性的老年人和全国性的全国性服务网络，以替代全国性的aging aging Network网络; 2）在实施科学方面获得高级技能，这将促进萨基西斯博士研究职业的影响； 3）指导研究研究员和初级教师的干部，他们将成为下一代衰老的转化研究人员。 Sarkisian博士拥有指导的巨大往绩；要求的K24支持将使她摆脱当前的临床职责，以便她可以将时间的75％完全集中在研究和指导上。
