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）将有助于扩大和加强下一代通过支持结构化的多学科研究，成为少数民族老龄化和健康差异研究的领导者，教育和指导、个性化学习体验、全国网络以及参与针对德克萨斯州 RCMAR 的更新，REC 将开展有针对性的多学科团队科学活动。通过德克萨斯大学医学分部 (UTMB) 和德克萨斯大学之间的新合作伙伴关系圣安东尼奥 (UTSA)，以及继续我们与 UT-奥斯汀分校的现有合作。我们三个机构的资源互补，以推进德克萨斯州 RCMAR 的总体主题。在过去的一个周期中，德克萨斯州 RCMAR 参与教师创建了一个由 P30、R13、K12、KL2、T32、我们将通过个人 K 奖和其他联邦资金来支持该计划活动。结合 UTSA 在社会/行为科学方面的专业知识。我们指导和培训科学家的结构化计划。聘请助理教授级别，利用现有优势，整合我们的最佳实践，并推出新举措来招募和留住科学家，并与领导层和行政部门密切合作。核心 (LAC) 和分析核心 (AnC)，REC 将寻求完成以下具体目标：目标 1：识别、招募和留住有潜力在以下领域发展成功职业生涯的合格候选人少数族裔老龄化和健康差异符合德克萨斯州 RCMAR 的使命和主题，我们将做到这一点。通过实施明确定义的招募计划来吸引有前途的科学家来解决这一问题 RCMAR 的主题和目标，包括提前一年参与的“管道科学家”新倡议我们预计每年都会有四名新科学家组成的新团队，目标 2：创建和监控。为每位科学家制定个性化的职业发展计划，作为 RCMAR 的 2 年计划。科学家将确定一名首席导师和指导团队成员，并确定角色、定期举行会议和该计划将包括基准、时间表和目标。 3：实施和监督指导和研究教育的结构化计划，其中包括以下活动：该计划第一年的试点项目将作为结构化的平台。计划旨在促进少数族裔老龄化领域科学家的职业生涯，然后在第二年重点关注富有成效的团队科学寻求外部资金的活动将包括每两周一次的小组会议、社交和行为培训。少数族裔老龄化和健康差异、团队科学、赠款的准备和提交等方面提案、K 奖讨论小组以及 RCMAR 科学家负责任的研究行为培训。将维护一个记录里程碑并反映进展的科学组合，该组合将用于正式的研究 RCMAR 科学家将评估成果并提高该计划的有效性。由经验丰富的高级教师和来自我们机构的附属教师组成的多学科团队进行指导。
