项目摘要

The Research Education Component (REC) will contribute to expand and strengthen the next generation of leaders on minority aging and health disparities research, by supporting structured multidisciplinary research, education and mentoring, individualized learning experiences, nationwide networking, and participation in targeted multidisciplinary team science. For this renewal of the Texas RCMAR, the REC will perform activities through a new partnership between the University of Texas Medical Branch (UTMB) and the University of Texas San Antonio (UTSA), as well as continue our existing collaboration with UT-Austin. We will leverage complementary resources from our three institutions to advance the overall theme of the Texas RCMAR. Over the past cycle, the Texas RCMAR participating faculty have created a network of P30, R13, K12, KL2, T32, individual K-awards, and other federal funding to support the program activities. To this network, we will incorporate UTSA expertise in social/behavioral science. Our structured plan for mentoring and training scientists recruited at the assistant professor level, takes advantage of existing strengths, integrates our best practices, and launches new initiatives to recruit and retain scientists. Working closely with the Leadership & Administrative Core (LAC) and the Analysis Core (AnC), the REC will seek to complete the following Specific Aims: Aim 1: Identify, recruit, and retain qualified candidates who have the potential to develop successful careers in minority aging and health disparities consistent with the mission and theme of the Texas RCMAR. We will do this by implementing a clearly defined recruitment program that attracts promising Scientists to address the RCMAR’s theme and aims, including a new initiative of ‘pipeline scientists’ that are engaged a year ahead of their start in the program. We anticipate a new cohort of four new Scientists each year. Aim 2: Create and monitor an Individualized Career Development Plan for each Scientist. Upon recruitment, a 2-year Plan as RCMAR Scientist will identify a lead mentor and mentoring team members with defined roles, regular meetings, and specific professional development experiences. The Plan will include benchmarks, timeline, and outcomes. Aim 3: Implement and monitor a Structured Program of Mentoring and Research Education, with activities for the scientists in the program. The Pilot Project in year-1 of their Plan will serve as the platform for the structured program to boost the scientists’ career in minority aging, followed by a focus in year-2 on productive team science and seeking external funding. Activities will include biweekly group meetings, training in social and behavioral aspects of minority aging and health disparities, team science, the preparation and submission of grant proposals, a K-award discussion group, and training in the responsible conduct of research. RCMAR Scientists will maintain a Scientific Portfolio that documents milestones and reflects progress, which will be used in a formal process to evaluate achievements and improve the effectiveness of the program. RCMAR Scientists will be mentored by experienced senior faculty and a multidisciplinary team of affiliated faculty from our institutions.

研究教育部分（REC）将有助于扩展和加强下一代通过支持结构化的多学科研究，有关少数族裔老化和健康差异研究的领导者，教育和心理，个性化的学习经验，国家网络和参与有针对性的多学科团队科学。对于得克萨斯州RCMAR的这种续约，Rec将进行活动通过德克萨斯大学医学分公司（UTMB）与德克萨斯大学之间的新合作伙伴关系圣安东尼奥（UTSA），以及继续与UT-Austin的现有合作。我们将利用从我们的三个机构中完全资源来推进得克萨斯州RCMAR的整体主题。超过过去的周期，得克萨斯州RCMAR参与的教师创建了一个由P30，R13，K12，KL2，T32，T32，单个K-awards和其他联邦资金以支持计划活动。对于这个网络，我们将在社会/行为科学领域融合了UTSA专业知识。我们的心理和培训科学家的结构化计划在助理教授一级招募，利用现有优势，整合了我们的最佳实践，并发起了新的计划，以招募和留住科学家。与领导力和行政紧密合作核心（LAC）和分析核心（ANC），REC将寻求完成以下特定目的：AIM 1：识别，招募和保留有可能发展成功职业的合格候选人少数族裔老化和健康差异与得克萨斯州RCMAR的使命和主题一致。我们会做的通过实施一个明确定义的招聘计划，该计划吸引了承诺科学家解决的问题 RCMAR的主题和目标，包括一项新的“管道科学家”计划，这些计划比他们从计划开始。我们预计每年将有四个新科学家组成的新队列。目标2：创建和监视每个科学家的个性化职业发展计划。招募后，为期2年的RCMAR计划科学家将确定一个主导和心理团队成员，具有定义的角色，定期会议以及特定的专业发展经验。该计划将包括基准，时间表和结果。目的 3：实施和监视一个结构化的指导和研究教育计划，并为该计划中的科学家。计划的第1年的试点项目将作为结构化的平台旨在提高科学家在少数族裔衰老的职业的计划，然后重点是2年级的生产团队科学并寻求外部资金。活动将包括每两周一次的小组会议，社交和行为培训少数族裔老化和健康差异，团队科学，赠款的准备和提交方面提案，一个K-award讨论小组以及负责任的研究进行培训。 RCMAR科学家将保持科学作品集记录里程碑并反映进度，这将用于正式评估成就并提高计划有效性的过程。 RCMAR科学家将由经验丰富的高级教师和我们机构的跨学科团队指导。
