DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant) Advances in medicine and technology are providing for longer and healthier lives today. American families have increasingly been asked to take responsibility for their own health and financial outcomes: how long to work, how much to save, when to claim Social Security and pension benefits, which health plans to choose, and how to allocate and manage their assets. Navigating these complex choices may be particularly difficult for minority elderly, leading to suboptimal outcomes. Indeed, health indicators have demonstrated little improvement in health disparities between different racial and ethnic populations over the past decade, according to analyses in Healthy People 2010. Evidence also suggests that minority households tend to be excluded from or participate only on the margins of the financial mainstream. To this end we propose to establish a RCMAR at USC that will develop an infrastructure to achieve the following Specific Aims: 1. Provide leadership, organizational, communication and evaluation systems to achieve the overarching goal of supporting high-quality and enduring research careers in the health and economic challenges of minority elderly; 2. Support pilot study solicitation and selection process to ensure the selection of scientifically rigorous and fundable pilot projects and enhancement of the diversity of researchers; 3. Support pilot-funded investigators through achievement of pilot studies goals and award of an independent grant by multidisciplinary mentoring and training in the methods and tools of economics, computer science, medicine, and social work; 4. Analyze large longitudinal survey data sets and medical claims data on the health, medical care and expenditures, economic status, and financial decisions of diverse elderly populations in order to generate interventions that will address health and economic disparities; 5. Track and evaluate the successes of pilot investigators and data analysis and improve the infrastructure support in accordance with evaluation findings. This proposed RCMAR is a collaboration between USC and RAND that utilizes the resources of USC's Roybal Center on Health Policy Simulation, Roybal Institute on Aging, Alzheimer Disease Research Center, and RAND's Roybal Center for Financial Decision making.

描述（由申请人提供）医学和技术的进步正在为当今的更长，更健康的寿命提供。美国家庭越来越被要求对自己的健康和财务成果负责：工作时间，节省多少时间，何时要求社会保障和养老金福利，选择哪些计划选择以及如何分配和管理其资产。对于少数族裔老年人来说，导航这些复杂的选择可能特别困难，从而导致次优的结果。实际上，根据《健康人民2010年健康人》的分析，在过去十年中，健康指标表明，不同种族和族裔人口之间的健康差异几乎没有改善。证据还表明，少数族裔家庭倾向于将少数族裔家庭排除在金融主流的边缘。为此，我们建议在USC建立RCMAR，该RCMAR将开发基础设施以实现以下特定目标：1。提供领导，组织，沟通和评估系统，以实现支持高质量和持久研究生涯在少数老年人面临的健康和经济挑战方面的总体目标； 2.支持试点研究的招标和选择过程，以确保选择科学严格且可资助的试点项目，并提高研究人员的多样性； 3。通过实现试点研究目标的实现和通过多学科指导和培训授予经济学，计算机科学，医学和社会工作的方法和工具的独立赠款，以支持飞行员资助的研究人员； 4.分析大型纵向调查数据集和医疗索赔数据，以了解各种老年人口的健康，医疗保健和支出，经济状况以及财务决策，以产生干预措施，以解决健康和经济差异； 5。跟踪和评估试验研究者的成功和数据分析，并根据评估结果改善基础设施支持。该提议的RCMAR是USC与RAND之间的合作，它利用了USC皇家卫生政策模拟中心，皇家老龄化研究所，阿尔茨海默氏病研究中心以及兰德皇家财务决策中心的资源。
