The Schools of Medicine, Nursing, and Public Health of the Johns Hopkins University are proposing a new Alzheimer's-related Resources Center for Minority Aging Research (AD- RCMAR) in response to RFA-AG-18-002. The aims of this application are to: (1) mentor early- stage investigators from underrepresented backgrounds in minority aging and health disparities research, with a focus on Alzheimer's disease and related disorders (ADRD), using a life course perspective encompassing biological, behavioral, and community factors contributing to cognitive impairment and dementia in older minority adults; (2) conduct epidemiological, preventive, and intervention research that addresses ADRD in later life within a multi-level framework that encompasses individuals, families, social networks, and communities; and 3) engage communities and health care providers – especially family caregivers, primary care practices, communities of faith, and community organizations – as our partners in recognizing dementia and developing interventions with the potential to prevent cognitive decline and reduce ADRD dementia risk and disparities in minority older adults. The Johns Hopkins AD- RCMAR consists of: (1) an Administrative Core whose function is to provide governance and an administrative structure, to support research, to foster interactions between Cores and other Centers, and to ensure RCMAR Scientists develop mentoring relationships across the affiliated departments, schools, the intramural program at NIA in Baltimore, and nationally; (2) a Research Education Component to foster diverse junior investigators and mid-career investigators transitioning into ADRD-relevant research through support for individual pilot projects, career mentoring, scholar-to-scholar interactions, and role modeling; (3) a Community- Liaison and Recruitment Core to ensure the relevance of the ADRD research and to increase knowledge of engagement of community members in the research enterprise with the creation of a Community Resource Institute as a venue for community-investigator interaction; and (4) an Analysis Core as a foundation for methodological and statistical mentoring, including education and mentoring in mixed-methods research. An Executive Committee includes community representatives and a Scientific Advisory Panel consists of distinguished investigators with relevant expertise in minority aging, disparities, and ADRD. A pilot project program supported by all Cores to facilitate the development of RCMAR Scientists includes three initial pilot projects focusing on recruitment of minority populations for ADRD research, early diagnoses of dementia, and intervention development related to ADRD-related driving disparities.

约翰霍普金斯大学医学院、护理和公共卫生学院 提议成立新的少数族裔老龄化研究阿尔茨海默氏症相关资源中心(AD- RCMAR)响应RFA-AG-18-002。这项申请的目的是：(1)早期指导- 来自代表性不足背景的阶段调查人员在少数族裔老龄化和健康差距方面 研究，重点是阿尔茨海默病和相关疾病(ADRD)，使用生命过程 包含生物、行为和社区因素的视角 少数民族老年人的认知障碍和痴呆；(2)进行流行病学调查， 预防和干预研究，在多个层次内解决晚年ADRD问题 包括个人、家庭、社交网络和社区的框架；以及3) 让社区和卫生保健提供者参与--特别是家庭照顾者、初级保健 实践、信仰社区和社区组织--作为我们认识到 痴呆症和开发干预措施，有可能防止认知衰退和 减少少数族裔老年人中ADRD痴呆的风险和差异。约翰霍普金斯大学的广告- RCMAR包括：(1)管理核心，其功能是提供治理和 行政结构，以支持研究，促进核心与其他 中心，并确保RCMAR科学家在附属机构之间建立指导关系 部门、学校、巴尔的摩和全国NIA的内部计划；(2)a 研究教育部分，培养不同的初级研究人员和职业生涯中期 调查人员通过支持个人飞行员过渡到与ADRD相关的研究 项目、职业指导、学者之间的互动和角色建模；(3)社区- 联络和征聘核心，以确保ADRD研究的相关性，并增加 对社区成员参与研究型企业与创新的认识 社区资源研究所，作为社区与调查员互动的场所；及。(4) 分析核心，作为方法学和统计指导的基础，包括教育 以及混合方法研究中的指导。执行委员会包括社区成员 代表和科学咨询小组由杰出的研究人员组成， 在少数群体老龄化、差异和ADRD方面的相关专业知识。支持的试点项目计划 由所有核心促进发展的RCMAR科学家包括三个初步试点 以招募少数族裔人口为ADRD研究的项目，早期诊断 痴呆症，以及与ADRD相关的驾驶差异相关的干预发展。
