Michigan Center for Contextual Factors in Alzheimer's Disease (MCCFAD) aims to foster and enhance innovative research in Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD) with the long term goals to 1) advance ADRD-relevant social and behavioral science research in underserved and underrepresented communities while; 2) diversify the research workforce dedicated to healthy aging. This center will build on the existing deep infrastructure and research strengths in dementia and aging research at the University of Michigan (UM). The MCCFAD will emphasize research in three priority areas of: epidemiology, health economics, and culturally sensitive care. The rationale for these three areas is directly related to the current lack of a comprehensive understanding of the contextual complexities inherent in ADRD disparities, the need to enhance diversity in the professional research workforce addressing the brain and cognitive health of older adults, as well as dynamic changes in the demographic and multi-cultural composition of the U.S. population. The MCCFAD will promote diversifying the research workforce dedicated to healthy aging through collaborations with other NIA-sponsored Centers and programs and via connections with R1, R2 and R3 universities in Michigan. The Center will focus on the contexts in which ADRD is experienced. Knowledge concerning the contexts of ADRD is quite limited but has been shown to be critical for elucidating sociocultural, economic and behavioral contributors to and consequences of health disparities generally and ADRD disparities specifically. The Center's four Cores are: Administrative (AC), Research and Education (REC), Analytic (AnC), Community Liaison and Recruitment (CLRC) with the following specific aims: Aim 1: Advance ADRD-relevant disparities research in epidemiology, health economics, and culturally-sensitive care; Aim 2: Recruit and mentor 15 AD-RCMAR Scientists (RS) from the pilot-study investigator stage through professional publications and independent research applications and funding; Aim 3: Connect with African American, Arab American and Latino communities to broaden understanding of intra- and inter-cultural factors affecting participation in ADRD research. The Center profits from the groundbreaking, successful work of their extensive network of experienced mentors and experts. These resources, along with planned structure and activities will ensure that, upon receiving NIA designation as an AD-RCMAR, the MCCFAD will have a significant impact in diversifying the research workforce dedicated to healthy aging while enhancing research to better understand AD and related forms of dementia across various contexts.

密歇根阿尔茨海默病背景因素中心（MCCFAD）旨在促进和 加强阿尔茨海默病和相关痴呆症（ADRD）的创新研究， 长期目标：1）推进ADRD相关的社会和行为科学研究， 服务不足和代表性不足的社区，同时; 2）多样化的研究队伍 致力于健康老龄化。该中心将建立在现有的深层基础设施上， 密歇根大学（UM）在痴呆症和衰老研究方面的研究优势。的 MCCFAD将重点研究三个优先领域：流行病学，卫生经济学， 和文化敏感的护理。这三个领域的基本原理直接关系到当前的 缺乏对ADRD内在背景复杂性的全面理解 差异，需要加强专业研究队伍的多样性， 老年人的大脑和认知健康，以及人口和 美国人口的多元文化构成。MCCFAD将促进 致力于健康老龄化的研究队伍，通过与其他NIA赞助的合作 中心和计划，并通过与密歇根州的R1，R2和R3大学的连接。的 中心将重点关注ADRD经历的背景。关于知识 ADRD的背景相当有限，但已被证明对阐明社会文化， 经济和行为因素和健康差距的后果， 具体来说，ADRD差异。该中心的四个核心是：行政（AC）、研究和 教育（REC），分析（AnC），社区联络和招聘（CLRC）与 以下具体目标：目标1：推进ADRD相关的流行病学差异研究， 卫生经济学和文化敏感护理;目标2：招募和指导15 AD-RCMAR 科学家（RS）从试点研究阶段到专业出版物， 独立的研究申请和资助;目标3：与非洲裔美国人、阿拉伯人、 美国和拉丁裔社区，以扩大内部和跨文化因素的理解 影响参与ADRD研究。该中心从开创性的利润， 他们的经验丰富的导师和专家的广泛网络的成功工作。这些 资源，沿着计划的结构和活动，将确保在接收NIA后， 指定为AD-RCMAR，MCCFAD将在多样化方面产生重大影响， 致力于健康老龄化的研究队伍，同时加强研究，以更好地了解 AD和各种背景下的痴呆症相关形式。
