DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant) The Center for Aging in Diverse Communities (CADC) has three research themes: 1) understanding multilevel determinants of disparities, 2) evaluating through secondary data analysis the effects of policies that reduce public services among minority older adults, and 3) translating evidence-based interventions to prevent/manage chronic conditions and mitigate the effects of stressful environments in minority communities. The Administrative Core will coordinate all CADC functions, select pilot studies for funding, host Advisory Board meetings, allocate effort to update the web site, and sustain collaborations with UCSF colleagues. The Investigator Development Core will fund 3-5 scholars every year through the process of Request for Proposals and review. CADC faculty will formally mentor funded scholars to completion of their research, publication of a paper, submission of a faculty development or independent research grant to NIA/NIH, and becoming established in their academic units. The multidisciplinary nature of CADC faculty provide scholars with a variety of content mentors in the clinical, epidemiological, behavioral, and social sciences, including a neuroscientist and health economist. We will promote use of secondary datasets to identify multi-level determinants of disparities and evaluate the impact of policy changes using interrupted time-series methods. We will also encourage scholars to develop pilot interventions to reduce health disparities. The Community Liaison Core will support recruitment of research participants for funded projects, advance the science of recruitment and disseminate research findings to the target communities. The Analysis Core will work closely with scholars to provide technical assistance in specialized methods in minority aging, develop measurement projects to identify determinants of disparities, and provide guidance to pilot test community-based interventions. In sum, CADC will continue to foster development of ethnically diverse investigators who will conduct research with older minority persons at UCSF and in Northern California.

描述（由申请人提供）不同社区的老化中心（CADC）具有三个研究主题：1）了解差异的多层次决定因素，2）通过二级数据分析评估降低少数老年人公共服务的政策的影响，以及3）翻译基于证据的干预措施，以防止/管理慢性病，并减轻少数民族社区的压力环境的影响。行政核心将协调所有CADC功能，选择资助的试点研究，主持咨询委员会会议，分配努力以更新网站，并与UCSF同事进行合作。调查员开发核心每年将通过提案请求和审查过程为3-5名学者提供资金。 CADC教师将正式指导学者完成研究，发表论文，提交教师发展或向NIA/NIH的独立研究赠款，并在其学术部门建立。 CADC教师的多学科性质为学者提供了临床，流行病学，行为和社会科学的各种内容导师，包括神经科学家和健康经济学家。我们将促进使用辅助数据集来识别差异的多层次决定因素，并使用中断的时间序列方法评估策略更改的影响。我们还将鼓励学者制定试点干预措施以减少健康差异。社区联络核心将支持招聘资助项目的研究参与者，推进招聘科学，并向目标社区传播研究结果。分析核心将与学者紧密合作，以在少数族裔老化的专业方法中提供技术援助，开发测量项目以识别差异的决定因素，并为基于社区的试验性测试的指导提供指导。总而言之，CADC将继续促进种族多样化的调查人员的发展，这些调查员将与UCSF和北加州的少数族裔进行研究。
