项目摘要

ABSTRACT The overall purpose of the Texas RCMAR is to provide an infrastructure that facilitates the development of research on health and aging in minority populations with special focus on the Hispanic population in the United States as well as in Mexico. Special focus is given to mentoring researchers from underrepresented populations. The Texas RCMAR is based at the University of Texas Medical Branch with the University of Texas at Austin being the primary collaborating institution. To accomplish its objectives, the Texas RCMAR will have three cores: Administrative Core, Analysis Core, and Research Education Core. The Administrative Core will be directed by Kyriakos S. Markides, PhD, Gnitzinger Professor at the University of Texas Medical Branch (UTMB). As overall RCMAR Principal Investigator/Director, Dr. Markides will oversee and promote the activities of the other two cores. The Analysis core will be directed by Yong-Fang Kuo, PhD, Director of the UTMB Office of Biostatistics and Professor of Internal Medicine (Geriatrics) and of Preventive Medicine and Community Health. The Analysis Core will provide methodological and statistical support to promote the research and career development of minority aging investigators, especially those from underrepresented populations. The Core will interface with the Research Education Core to support Pilot research projects of mentored investigators and to participate in an annual two-day conference on minority aging to take place each September in conjunction with the annual International Conference on Aging in the Americas (ICAA) directed by Jacqueline Angel, PhD, University of Texas at Austin and member of our Research Education Core. The Research Education Core (REC) will be directed by Rebeca Wong, PhD, Kempner Professor and Director of UTMB's Pan American Health Organization Collaborating Center on Aging and Health. The REC will oversee funding of five pilot grants by minority investigators at UTMB, UT Austin and elsewhere. An effort will be made to recruit RCMAR scholars through the ICAA network of investigators conducting research on Hispanic aging in the United States and Mexico. Special emphasis will be given to providing training opportunities to Hispanic Servicing Institutions (e.g., University of Texas Pan American) and major universities in Texas with large numbers of minority/Hispanic students and faculty (e.g., Texas A&M University).

抽象的德克萨斯州 RCMAR 的总体目标是提供促进发展的基础设施少数民族人口的健康和老龄化研究，特别关注西班牙裔人口美国以及墨西哥。特别关注指导来自代表性不足的研究人员人口。德克萨斯州 RCMAR 位于德克萨斯大学医学分部，与德克萨斯州奥斯汀分校是主要合作机构。为了实现其目标，德克萨斯州 RCMAR 将具有三个核心：行政核心、分析核心和研究教育核心。行政部门 Core 将由德克萨斯大学医学院 Gnitzinger 教授 Kyriakos S. Markides 博士指导分支机构（UTMB）。作为 RCMAR 首席研究员/主任，Markides 博士将监督和促进其他两个核心的活动。分析核心将由郭永芳博士指导，他是该中心的主任。 UTMB 生物统计学办公室、内科（老年病学）和预防医学教授社区健康。分析核心将提供方法和统计支持，以促进少数族裔老龄化研究人员的研究和职业发展，特别是来自代表性不足的研究人员人口。该核心将与研究教育核心相结合，以支持以下试点研究项目：指导研究人员并参加每年举行的为期两天的少数民族老龄化会议 9 月，与一年一度的美洲老龄化问题国际会议 (ICAA) 共同指导作者：Jacqueline Angel 博士，德克萨斯大学奥斯汀分校，我们的研究教育核心成员。这研究教育核心 (REC) 将由 Rebeca Wong 博士、Kempner 教授兼主任领导 UTMB 的泛美健康组织老龄化与健康合作中心。 REC 将监督为 UTMB、UT Austin 和其他地方的少数族裔研究人员提供五项试点资助。将会做出努力通过ICAA研究人员网络招募RCMAR学者进行西班牙裔老龄化研究在美国和墨西哥。将特别重视为西班牙裔提供培训机会服务机构（例如德克萨斯大学泛美大学）和德克萨斯州的主要大学，拥有大量少数族裔/西班牙裔学生和教师的数量（例如德克萨斯农工大学）。
