A primary goal of the CADC is to mentor early stage investigators (CADC Scientists) to become successful researchers focused on understanding multilevel social and behavioral mechanisms of health disparities impacting older adults and developing interventions to achieve optimal health. CADC provides pilot study funding, mentoring, and comprehensive training in aging related health disparities research.
We provide training in research design, methods, and analysis, including methods for translating evidence-based interventions to reduce disparities. Mentoring occurs both one-on-one and in groups and continues until a Scholar obtains a NIH R01, K, or equivalent award.
