Administrative Core: Carolina Center on Alzheimer's Disease and Minority Research (CCADMR)

行政核心 项目总结/摘要 了解社会文化，行为和环境决定因素对阿尔茨海默氏症的作用 美国东南部非洲裔美国人社区中的疾病和相关痴呆（ADRD） （美国）在ADRD发病率极高的地方，跨学科 有指导的研究是解决与防治荒漠化和干旱有关的差异的有效战略。拟议中的卡罗莱纳 阿尔茨海默病和少数民族研究中心（CCADMR）将专注于进行基于人口的 使用二手数据分析的研究，以促进对影响ADRD因素的科学研究 以减少与ADRD相关的差异。行政核心将有助于实现长期- 长期目标是实现多样化的科学家队伍，以满足日益多样化和老龄化的需要。 在美国东南部的人群中，ADRD的风险很大。行政核心将提供知识 对CCADMR的领导和协调。行政核心的具体目标是：（1） 监督CCADMR的日常管理，并保持中心活动的重点;（2）创建 确保中心核心、中心研究者 AD-RCMAR科学家、外部咨询小组、机构合作伙伴，包括克拉夫林大学、艾伦 南卡罗来纳州州立大学（历史上的黑人学院和大学[HBCUs]），作为 以及南卡罗来纳州医科大学（MUSC）和克莱姆森大学（CU），RCMAR协调 中心和国家老龄化研究所（NIA）的资助者;（3）为征集提供监督和支持， 选择试点项目，为试点项目提供资金和招聘AD-RCMAR科学家， 健康差异和少数民族老龄化研究教育计划;（4）提供监督和支持， 跟踪和评估所有研究教育活动，包括AD-RCMAR的成就 科学家;以及（5）向科学、专业和非专业团体传播中心的倡议和发现 在东南部和整个美国的地区和州一级，我们分享NIA的长期目标， 建立机制，增加代表性不足的种族和族裔少数群体的管道 少数民族老龄化和ADRD的科学家。行政核心的主要调查人员很好- 连接到相关的地方，区域和国家资源建设CCADMR，并具有强大的， 与公共卫生部门、老龄服务网络和多元化社区建立了合作伙伴关系， 组织和利益相关者传播研究和招聘和参与AD- RCMAR科学家。

ADMINISTRATIVE CORE PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT Understanding of the role that sociocultural, behavioral, and environmental determinants have on Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias (ADRD) among African-American communities in the Southeast United States (U.S.) where there are extremely high rates of ADRD is critically and immediately needed. Interdisciplinary mentored research is an effective strategy for addressing ADRD-related disparities. The proposed Carolina Center on Alzheimer’s Disease and Minority Research (CCADMR) will focus on conducting population-based research using secondary data analyses to advance the science on the factors that influence ADRD outcomes in order to reduce ADRD-related disparities. The Administrative Core will help achieve the long- term goal of attaining a diverse workforce of Scientists to meet the needs of an increasingly diverse and older population in the Southeast U.S at substantial risk for ADRD. The Administrative Core will provide intellectual leadership and coordination for the CCADMR. The Specific Aims of the Administrative Core are to: (1) oversee the day-to-day administration of the CCADMR and maintain the focus of Center activities; (2) create strategies for ensuring integration and coordination of interactions across Center cores, Center Investigators, AD-RCMAR Scientists, External Advisory Group, institutional partners, including Claflin University, Allen University, and South Carolina State University (Historically Black Colleges and Universities [HBCUs]), as well as the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) and Clemson University (CU), RCMAR Coordinating Center, and National Institute of Aging (NIA) funders; (3) provide oversight and support for the solicitation and selection of pilot projects for funding and for recruitment of AD-RCMAR Scientists for the pilot projects and the Health Disparities and Minority Aging Research Education Program; (4) provide oversight and support for tracking and evaluation of all research education activities, including accomplishments of AD-RCMAR Scientists; and, (5) disseminate Center initiatives and findings to scientific, professional, and lay communities at regional and state levels in the Southeast, and throughout the U.S. We share the NIA’s long-term goal of establishing mechanisms for increasing the pipeline of underrepresented racial and ethnic minority (URM) Scientists in minority aging and ADRD. The principal investigators of the Administrative Core are well- connected to relevant local, regional, and national resources for building the CCADMR, and have strong, established partnerships with public health departments, aging service networks, and diverse community- based organizations and stakeholders for dissemination of research and recruitment and engagement of AD- RCMAR Scientists.
