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.

计划主任/首席研究员（最后，第一，中间）：杜塔罗伊，阿塔努 项目摘要 霍华德大学的发展衰老研究多样性（Huadar）倡议始于2014年 增强生物医学和临床研究人员对衰老的多样性的目的。这 霍华德大学的机构环境完美地证明了开发一个理由的理由 霍华德大学的Huadar计划在一个多世纪以来一直致力于 培训代表性不足的少数民族学生。在过去的五年中，我们成功实现了这一目标 通过招募44名成绩的学生，其中93％的目标是非裔美国人。我们保留了89％ （39/44）我们最初的新兵，有24名在2019年5月之前获得学士学位 在管道中还有另外15个。到目前为止，24个中有九分已经获得高级学位 MSTEM（博士，医学博士，DDS）和MSW中的计划，从而实现了NIA的目标 17-290。其余15名毕业生目前正在追求系统的利益，同时准备 进入高级学位课程。毕业生仍与Huadar不断接触 我们有信心他们将在完成后从事各种相关的研究职业 提前学位。拟议的培训是一项结构化的，指导的，动手的研究， 教育经验超过三年。除了参加衰老课程，教育 经验将包括两个新组成部分：（1）通过在线论坛Huadar学生将 进行有关衰老最新发展的对话，以及（2）关于自我护理的讨论会议 管理。相关研究经验包括（1）从事研究的机会 在Huadar导师的学年中，（2）夏季研究学徒机会 在领先的衰老研究机构中，包括美国国家衰老研究所（内部） 南加州大学和杜兰大学的长寿研究所 老化中心（（3）出版和出席国家会议的机会，（4）一对一 指导以建立成功的职业道路。所有学生和人员都必须获得 负责任的研究认证。为了评估我们计划的功效，我们邀请了 第三方评估公司，作为我们的外部评估者。 Huadar的评估计划将组成 当然评估，教师疗效调查，夏季研究经验调查，保留和 Huadar毕业生进入研究生和专业的毕业率和接受率 学校，以及研究生参与衰老研究和老年专业。在这种竞争中 续约，我们建议继续我们的计划，以实现NIA Adar倡议的目标，以多样化 研究人员专注于衰老。 PHS 398/2590（修订版06/09）页面延续格式页面
