PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT - Research Education Core (REC) As the population of older adults in the US continues to rapidly grow and become more racially/ethnically diverse, there is an urgent need to better understand how to improve timely diagnosis and culturally responsive care of individuals with Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias and their family caregivers. Despite the growing diversity of the population and differences in dementia incidence and prevalence, gaps in scientific knowledge related to the cause and elimination of these disparities remain. In addition, the number of scientists from historically underrepresented groups who may have special insight into the cause and cure of these disparities remains limited. Therefore, the goal of the UC Davis Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center (ADRC) Education Component (REC) is to develop new and innovative opportunities for research education and training of the next generation of scientists who will harness the currently available and expanding resources of the ADRC to address the goals of NAPA to effectively treat Alzheimer’s disease and associated disorders by 2025 . The REC supports the mission of the ADRC by capitalizing on and expanding the research education opportunities of junior investigators, with an emphasis on recruiting individuals from historically underrepresented groups. There is a strong need for new, creative, and diverse junior investigators to address the diversity and complexity of cognitive impairment in diverse populations. Towards this end, the goals of the REC are to (1) Outreach, recruit and engage junior investigators from diverse personal and professional backgrounds who will conduct Alzheimer’s disease-related research; (2) Develop and support a tailored mentoring and training plan for diverse junior investigators in the area of AD, with a particular focus on strengthening and diversifying the research workforce; and (3) Monitor and evaluate research, training and career development progress of trainees. The UC Davis Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center has an extensive mentoring and research education record that includes graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and junior faculty with interests in Alzheimer’s disease-related research. We will continue to build on this infrastructure with REC leaders –Dr. Oanh Meyer and Dr. Charles DeCarli, as well as the Training Oversight Committee. REC will leverage existing resources and expertise from local and national programs to contribute to the research education of future leaders in Alzheimer’s disease-related research. REC also will capitalize on the rich diversity of UC Davis and connect with programs such as the Center for the Advancement of Multicultural Perspectives on Science to ensure recruitment of underrepresented groups. The interdisciplinary expertise of REC program faculty and affiliates will ensure the recruitment of diverse and promising trainees who will enter the ADRD scientific workforce.

项目摘要/摘要-研究教育核心(REC) 随着美国老年人口继续快速增长并变得更加种族/民族 多样性，迫切需要更好地了解如何提高及时性诊断和文化响应 照顾阿尔茨海默病和相关痴呆症患者及其家庭照顾者。尽管 人口的日益多样化以及痴呆症发病率和患病率的差异，科学上的差距 与这些差距的原因和消除有关的知识仍然存在。此外，科学家的数量 来自历史上代表性不足的群体，他们可能对这些疾病的原因和治疗有特殊的洞察力 差距仍然有限。因此，加州大学戴维斯分校阿尔茨海默病研究中心(ADRC)的目标 教育部分(REC)旨在为研究教育和 培训下一代科学家，他们将利用现有的和不断扩大的资源 ADRC将通过以下方式实现国家适应行动方案有效治疗阿尔茨海默病和相关疾病的目标 2025年。REC通过利用和扩大研究教育来支持ADRC的使命 初级调查人员的机会，重点是从历史上招募个人 代表不足的群体。迫切需要新的、有创造力的和多样化的初级调查人员来解决 不同人群中认知障碍的多样性和复杂性。为实现这一目标， REC将(1)外联、招聘和聘用来自不同个人和 将进行阿尔茨海默病相关研究的专业背景；(2)开发和 支持为AD领域的不同初级调查人员量身定做的指导和培训计划， 特别注重加强和多样化研究队伍；和(3)监测和 评估学员的研究、培训和职业发展进展。 加州大学戴维斯分校阿尔茨海默病研究中心拥有广泛的指导和研究教育 记录包括研究生、博士后研究员和对阿尔茨海默氏症感兴趣的初级教员 与疾病相关的研究。我们将继续与REC领导人一起在这个基础设施上建设-Oanh Meyer博士 查尔斯·德卡利博士以及培训监督委员会。REC将利用现有资源 和来自地方和国家项目的专业知识，为未来领导人的研究教育做出贡献 阿尔茨海默病相关研究。REC还将利用加州大学戴维斯分校丰富的多样性，并与 与多元文化科学观点促进中心等项目合作，确保 招募代表人数不足的群体。REC计划教员和附属机构的跨学科专业知识 将确保招聘各种有前途的受训人员，他们将进入ADRD的科学队伍。
