Research Education Component

项目摘要-研究教育部分（REC） 威斯康星州阿尔茨海默病研究教育部分（REC）的目标 中心（ADRC）是支持教育活动，补充和加强劳动力的培训， 满足国家在阿尔茨海默病（AD）相关研究方面的生物医学，行为和临床需求。的 威斯康星州ADRC REC将通过向所有ADRC附属受训人员提供培训计划来实现这一目标， 除了确定特殊的初级研究者之外，他们将在发展中得到特别支持 独立的阿尔茨海默氏症研究人员（ADRC REC学者）。REC将为学员提供 个性化的职业指导和指导，以支持他们的成长和培训，以达到熟练掌握 核心研究能力和八个威斯康星州ADRC内容领域（基础科学和神经病理学， 神经影像学，社区外展，临床和生物标志物研究，神经心理学，数据 分析，护理研究和组学）。培训将通过研讨会、学位和证书课程进行， 研讨会和指导研究经验。为了培养下一代研究领导者，我们必须 吸引实习生和初级教师到这个领域。因此，我们将在全国范围内开展培训计划， 威斯康星州大学（UW）-麦迪逊校区将AD相关的研究概念注入博士预科， 博士后和初级教师培训计划。通过让早期调查人员了解这些主题，我们将 增加对老龄化研究的兴趣和理解，并扩大已经强大的未来管道 研究人员REC将通过合作评估研究培训计划的有效性 与威斯康星州教育研究中心合作，该中心是全国教育评估的领导者。我们将使用 采用混合方法评估区域经济合作的质量和价值。 将使我们能够使用创新的最佳实践来教育学员。我们将通过利用 在华盛顿大学，在该国的学术最富有成效的机构之一，可提供大量的资源。

PROJECT SUMMARY – RESEARCH EDUCATION COMPONENT (REC) The goal of the Research Education Component (REC) of the Wisconsin Alzheimer's Disease Research Center (ADRC) is to support educational activities that complement and enhance the training of a workforce to meet the nation's biomedical, behavioral, and clinical needs in Alzheimer's Disease (AD)-related research. The Wisconsin ADRC REC will achieve this goal by providing a program of training to all ADRC-affiliated trainees in addition to identifying exceptional junior investigators who will be specifically supported in their development into independent Alzheimer's researchers (ADRC REC Scholars). The REC will provide trainees with individualized career coaching and mentorship to support their growth and training to achieve proficiency in core research competencies and eight Wisconsin ADRC content areas (Basic Science & Neuropathology, Neuroimaging, Community Based Outreach, Clinical and Biomarker Research, Neuropsychology, Data Analytics, Care Research, and Omics). Training will occur through seminars, degree and certificate programs, workshops, and mentored research experiences. To develop the next generation of research leaders, we must attract trainees and junior faculty to this field. Accordingly, we will work with training programs across the University of Wisconsin (UW)-Madison campus to infuse AD-related research concepts into predoctoral, postdoctoral, and junior faculty training programs. By exposing early stage investigators to these topics, we will increase the interest in and understanding of aging research and enlarge an already robust pipeline of future researchers. The REC will evaluate the effectiveness of the research training program through a collaboration with the Wisconsin Center for Education Research, a national leader in education evaluation. We will use mixed methods approaches to assess the quality and value of the REC. Collaboration with education experts will allow us to educate trainees using innovative best practices. We will achieve these goals by leveraging the vast resources available at UW, one of the academically most productive institutions in the country.
