Project Summary/Abstract The primary objectives of the Deep South RCMAR Community Liaison and Recruitment Core (CLRC) are to 1) educate, train, and mentor Scientists in community-engaged theory-based approaches to engaging older Black/African Americans (B/AAs) in health-related intervention research, 2) assist RCMAR Scientists in recruiting older AAs into their research studies, and 3) build a sustainable infrastructure that will generate and disseminate new knowledge regarding the science of recruitment and retention. Our approach to recruitment and retention draws upon research that addresses the role of culture in promoting health among older AAs. There are cohort differences between younger and older AAs because of greater institutional policies of racism and discrimination experienced by minority elders. Consequently, for health information, older AAs rely, to a greater extent, on their minority segregated communities, their cultural values, and their kinship systems. In addition to family and extended kinship networks, older AAs place high value on their religious beliefs and practices. Because of this, recruitment and retention endeavors should reflect this rich cultural fabric and employ community engagement strategies that are theory-based and culturally relevant. In this application, we build upon our existing community-based infrastructure that has fostered community capacity for active engagement in clinical research and has served as a catalyst to increase participation of older AAs in health-related intervention research studies. Through the activities of the CLRC, we expect that RCMAR Scientists will continue to have access to evidence-based recruitment and retention tools for both urban and rural older AAs, and realize enhanced participation of older AAs, greater community “buy-in” to research projects, and clearer routes of dissemination and intervention sustainability. Our CLRC has successfully engaged rural and urban communities via broad-based efforts aimed directly at individuals, as well as organizational conduits such as community-based groups and agents of change. We envision continued mutually beneficial engagement fostering opportunities both for the CLRC and RCMAR Scientists to solicit community input on the development of potential research questions and for community members to enjoy enhanced access to state-of-the-art clinical research focused on older AAs. To accomplish these broader goals, we propose the following specific aims for the Community Liaison and Recruitment Core of the Deep South RCMAR: 1. Work collaboratively with the Research Education Component (REC) to educate, train, and mentor RCMAR Scientists regarding the theory and approach to community engagement and assist RCMAR Scientists in recruiting older AAs to their research studies 2. Advance scientific knowledge in recruitment and retention of older urban and rural AAs by empirically testing recruitment and retention strategies developed in partnership with community members 3. Expand capacity for community-academic partnerships by providing health education seminars and grant-related education for community partners. Many community partners are interested in securing small funds to support their community-related projects. 4. Disseminate research findings to the scientific community and the communities we serve.

项目摘要/摘要 南部rcmar社区联络和招聘核心（CLRC）的主要对象是 1）在社区参与理论的方法中教育，培训和心理科学家参与年龄较大的方法 黑人/非裔美国人（B/AAS）在与健康相关的干预研究中，2）协助RCMAR科学家 招募较旧的AA进行研究，以及3）建立将产生和的可持续基础设施 传播有关招聘和保留科学的新知识。我们的招聘方式 保留率取决于研究文化在促进较老的AAS健康中的作用的研究。 由于种族主义的制度政策，年轻的AA和年龄较大的AA之间存在差异 和少数族裔长者经历的歧视。因此，对于健康信息，年龄较大的AA依靠， 在其少数民族隔离的社区，文化价值观和亲属制度上，更大程度地。在 除了家庭和扩展亲属网络，较旧的AA对其宗教信仰具有很高的价值，并且 实践。因此，招聘和保留努力应反映出这种丰富的文化结构， 员工社区参与策略是基于理论和文化相关的。 在此应用程序中，我们基于现有的基于社区的基础设施，该基础设施促进了社区 积极参与临床研究的能力，并已成为增加参与的催化剂 与健康相关的干预研究中的年长AA。通过CLRC的活动，我们希望 RCMAR科学家将继续获得基于证据的招聘和保留工具 城市和粗糙的AAS，并实现了更大的AA的加强参与，更大的社区“买入” 研究项目，以及更清晰的传播和干预可持续性途径。我们的CLRC有 通过直接针对个人的广泛努力，成功地与农村和城市社区互动 以及组织的渠道，例如基于社区的团体和变革的代理。我们设想 继续为CLRC和RCMAR科学家提供互惠互利的参与机会 征求社区关于潜在研究问题的发展的意见，并让社区成员 享受以较旧AA的重点进入最先进的临床研究的机会。 为了实现这些更广泛的目标，我们提出了以下针对社区联络的具体目标 南rcmar的招聘核心： 1。与研究教育部分（REC）合作以教育，培训和心理 RCMAR科学家关于社区参与的理论和方法和协助 RCMAR科学家在招募年长的AAS研究中 2。提前科学知识在招募和保留旧城市和农村AAS方面 经验测试与社区合作制定的招聘和保留策略 成员 3。通过提供健康教育的精灵来扩大社区学术伙伴关系的能力 以及与社区合作伙伴的赠款有关的教育。许多社区合作伙伴对 获得小型资金以支持其与社区相关的项目。 4。向科学界和我们服务的社区传播研究结果。
