项目摘要

ABSTRACT There is an urgent need to diversify the research workforce to meet current and future research demands that support a healthy aging society. Lack of diversity is an important problem in Medicine, Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (MSTEM), where inadequate institutional preparation and economic challenges can serve as barriers to entry. Population health sits at the nexus of the MSTEM fields and thus a training program in population health aging research is uniquely suited to serve as a bridge linking underrepresented students to multiple MSTEM disciplines. Moreover, these fields are critical for developing solutions to support health equity in aging. Our goal is to support scholars from backgrounds underrepresented in MSTEM fields in the academic pathways to graduate education and research in aging and population health. The Stanford Population Health Aging Research - Advancing Health Equity and Diversity (PHAR-AHEaD) summer program is an 8- week training and research experience for college students from underrepresented and historically excluded groups in the health sciences. We bring together a diverse team of over 25 faculty members from across Stanford University to foster an inclusive academic environment where college students can explore the core foundations of population health sciences under the umbrella of a life course perspective on aging. Population health integrates a spectrum of disciplines; a unique strength of our program is the breadth of training in aging, epidemiology, statistics, health policy, and community engagement. We pair this instruction with a faculty mentored research project to build skills and support student contributions to team science. We enrich students with professional development opportunities to learn the “hidden curriculum” of academia; these unwritten lessons and values are disproportionately inaccessible to students from historically excluded backgrounds. PHAR-AHEaD was founded on the principles that research experiences, faculty networks, and professional development are crucial components in graduate school admissions and future success as a researcher. Access to these opportunities is not equitably distributed, leading to underrepresentation and exclusion in the field. We are committed to reducing known barriers and creating a more equitable educational experience. This program will ignite interest and lower the barriers for students from historically excluded and underrepresented groups to pursue further studies and careers in aging and population health research.

抽象的迫切需要使研究队伍多样化，以满足当前和未来的需求支持健康老龄化社会的研究要求缺乏多样性是一个重要因素。医学、科学、技术、工程和数学 (MSTEM) 中的问题，其中体制准备不足和经济挑战可能成为进入壁垒。人口健康是 MSTEM 领域的核心，因此是一个培训计划人口健康老龄化研究非常适合作为联系的桥梁多个 MSTEM 学科的学生人数不足，而且这些领域至关重要。开发支持老龄化公平健康的解决方案。我们的目标是支持来自以下领域的学者。在毕业学术途径中 MSTEM 领域代表性不足的背景斯坦福人口健康老龄化领域的教育和研究。研究 - 促进健康公平和多样性 (PHAR-AHEaD) 夏季项目是一个 8- 为来自代表性不足和代表性不足的大学生提供一周的培训和研究经验我们汇集了一支由多名健康科学人士组成的多元化团队。来自斯坦福大学的 25 名教职人员致力于培养包容性的学术氛围大学生可以探索人口健康核心基础的环境人口健康生命历程视角下的科学整合。一系列学科；我们项目的独特优势是老龄化培训的广度，我们将流行病学、统计学、卫生政策和社区参与结合起来。通过教师指导的研究项目来培养技能并支持学生对我们为学生提供学习团队科学的专业发展机会。学术界的“隐性课程”；这些不成文的教训和价值观是不成比例的。来自历史上被排除在外的背景的学生无法接触到 PHAR-AHEaD 的成立。遵循研究经验、教师网络和专业发展的原则是研究生入学和未来作为一名研究人员取得成功的关键组成部分。获得这些机会的机会分配不均，导致代表性不足和我们致力于减少已知的障碍并创造更多的障碍。该计划将激发兴趣并降低障碍。来自历史上被排斥和代表性不足的群体的学生继续深造，老龄化和人口健康研究领域的职业。
