PROJECT SUMMARY This is a proposal for an 18-month Diversity Supplement to fund hands-on research training and career development for a talented public health graduate student in UCLA’s Fielding School of Public Health Community Health Sciences Doctoral Program. The parent grant for this proposed supplement funds research on the consequences of more physically strenuous work conditions that are more often experienced by Latino workers in the US on the higher prevalence of physical limitations at older ages. During the Diversity Supplement period, the graduate student will: (1) actively participate in the project’s collaborative research group, (2) collaborate with project PI and other project group members on development, analysis, and publication of at least 3 papers, (3) take the lead in all aspects of the research for at least one of these papers, under the supervision of the PI, (4) submit and present a paper at either the Gerontological Association of America (GSA) meetings or the Aging and Health Section sessions of the American Public Health Association meetings, (5) enroll in two graduate-level courses on aging, and (6) receive regular individual mentoring on training progress and career goals, and (7) attend the NIA-sponsored RAND Summer Institute on Aging in the summer of 2022, if the Institute is held at that time.
