项目摘要

Program Director/Principal Investigator (Last, First, Middle): Duttaroy, Atanu Project Summary Howard University's Advancing Diversity in Aging Research (HUADAR) initiative began in 2014 with the goal of enhancing diversity of the biomedical and clinical research workforce on aging. The institutional environment at Howard University perfectly justifies the rationales for developing a HUADAR program at Howard University since it remains committed for more than a century in training underrepresented minority students. Over the last five years we have successfully fulfilled this goal by recruiting 44 high achieving students, 93% of them African American. We retained 89% (39/44) of our initial recruits, with 24 completing their Bachelors degree through May 2019, with another 15 remaining in the pipeline. So far, nine out of 24 have enrolled in advanced degree programs in MSTEM (Ph.D., MD, DDS) and MSW, thus fulfilling the goals of NIA as outlined in PAR- 17-290. The remaining 15 graduates are currently pursuing MSTEM interests while preparing to enter into an advanced degree program. Graduates remain continually in contact with HUADAR and we are confident that they will pursue various aging related research careers upon completion of their advance degrees. The proposed training is a structured, mentored, hands-on research and educational experience over three years. Apart from enrolling in courses on aging, educational experiences will include two new components: (1) through online forums HUADAR students will engage in dialogue about latest developments in aging, and (2) discussion session on self-care management. Aging related research experiences include (1) opportunities to engage in research during the academic year with HUADAR mentors, (2) summer research apprenticeship opportunities in leading research institutes on aging, including the National Institutes on Aging (intramural), the Barshop Institute for Longevity Research, the University of Southern California, and Tulane University Centre for Aging, (3) opportunities to publish and present at national meetings, and (4) one-on-one mentoring to build a successful career path. All students and personnel will be required to obtain the Responsible Conduct of Research certification. To assess our program's efficacy we invited a third-party evaluation firm, as our External Evaluator. The evaluation plan for HUADAR will consist of course evaluations, faculty efficacy surveys, summer research experience surveys, retention and graduation rates, and acceptance rates of HUADAR graduates into graduate and professional schools, and postgraduate involvement in aging research and geriatric specialties. In this competitive renewal, we propose to continue our program to fulfill the goal of the NIA ADAR initiative to diversify the research workforce focused on aging.

项目总监/首席研究员（最后、第一、中间）：Duttaroy、Atanu 项目概要霍华德大学推进老龄化研究多样性 (HUADAR) 计划于 2014 年启动，提高老龄化生物医学和临床研究队伍多样性的目标。这霍华德大学的制度环境完美地证明了发展霍华德大学的 HUADAR 项目一个多世纪以来一直致力于培训代表性不足的少数族裔学生。过去五年我们成功实现了这一目标目标是招收 44 名成绩优异的学生，其中 93% 是非裔美国人。我们保留了89% (39/44) 我们最初招募的人员中，有 24 人在 2019 年 5 月之前完成了学士学位，其中另有 15 个仍在筹备中。到目前为止，24 人中有 9 人已就读高级学位 MSTEM（博士、MD、DDS）和 MSW 课程，从而实现 PAR- 中概述的 NIA 目标 17-290。其余 15 名毕业生目前正在追求 MSTEM 兴趣，同时准备进入高级学位课程。毕业生与 HUADAR 保持持续联系我们相信，他们在完成学业后将从事各种与老龄化相关的研究职业高级学位。拟议的培训是一种结构化的、指导性的、实践性的研究和三年以上的教育经验。除了参加有关老龄化的课程外，体验将包括两个新组成部分：(1) 通过在线论坛 HUADAR 学生将参与有关老龄化最新进展的对话，以及（2）自我保健讨论会管理。老龄化相关研究经历包括（1）从事研究的机会在 HUADAR 导师的学年期间，(2) 暑期研究学徒机会在领先的老龄化研究机构中，包括国家老龄化研究所（校内）、巴肖普长寿研究所、南加州大学和杜兰大学老龄化中心，(3) 在全国会议上发表和演讲的机会，以及 (4) 一对一指导建立成功的职业道路。所有学生和人员都必须获得负责任的研究行为认证。为了评估我们计划的有效性，我们邀请了一位第三方评估公司，作为我们的外部评估员。 HUADAR 的评估计划将包括当然，课程评估、教师效能调查、暑期研究经验调查、保留率和 HUADAR 毕业生的毕业率以及研究生和专业的录取率学校和研究生参与老龄化研究和老年医学专业。在这场竞争激烈的续订，我们建议继续我们的计划，以实现 NIA ADAR 倡议多元化的目标研究人员的重点是老龄化。 PHS 398/2590（修订版 06/09）页面延续格式页面
