Summary Community Liaison and Recruitment Core (CLRC) Although Alzheimer´s disease (AD) disproportionally affects elderly Hispanics, they are severely underrepresented in research studies, preventing advances in understanding of their excess ADRD vulnerability and improving care accordingly. The Community Liaison and Recruitment Core (CLRC) of the Alzheimer´s disease (AD)-Resource Center for Minority Aging Research (RCMAR) at University of Texas Rio Grande Valley (UTRGV) will spearhead the Center's recruitment and retention of diverse older adults as research participants in social, behavioral, and biomedical research, by training scholars in theory-based approaches for engagement of older Hispanics and their families in AD-related research. In addition, the CLRC of AD-RCMAR will strengthen existing infrastructure for dissemination and translation of research advances impacting the engaged communities with respect to aging, ADRD, and health of older Hispanics. The specific aims of the CLRC are: (1) Collaborate with the Research Education Core (REC) to educate, train, and mentor AD-RCMAR scholars in theory and approach to community engagement for minority health disparities, and assist AD-RCMAR scholars in recruiting older Hispanics and their families in their research studies; (2) Expand community-academic partnerships and capacity to support the recruitment and retention of older urban and rural Hispanics and their families; and (3) Disseminate research findings to the scientific community, health care providers and the South Texas communities served. We will achieve these aims through mentorship of AD-RCMAR scholars, linkage of scholars with established investigators conducting community-based research in rural and urban Hispanic populations, and community training to facilitate widespread adoption of best practices for optimizing participation in research studies. The results will create a state- of-the art infrastructure for researchers, health care providers, advocates and policy makers interested in decreasing health disparities affecting older Hispanics, and in particular those affected by AD. To accomplish these goals, we have built a team of scientists with extensive experience in community change, community–based research, education and Hispanic populations, that involve scientists at the UTRGV as well as the World Health Organization collaborating Center the Work Group for Community Health and Development at the University of Kansas, and health agencies, health care providers, clinicians and community-based organizations of the Rio Grande Valley (RGV), Texas.

摘要 社区联络和招聘核心 (CLRC) 尽管阿尔茨海默氏病 (AD) 对老年西班牙裔人的影响不成比例，但他们也受到严重影响 在研究中代表性不足，阻碍了对其过量 ADRD 的理解的进展 脆弱性并相应改善护理。社区联络和招聘核心 (CLRC) 阿尔茨海默病 (AD) - 阿尔茨海默病大学少数族裔老龄化研究资源中心 (RCMAR) 德克萨斯州里奥格兰德河谷 (UTRGV) 将带头该中心招募和保留不同的老年人 通过培训学者，成人作为社会、行为和生物医学研究的研究参与者 让老年西班牙裔及其家人参与 AD 相关研究的基于理论的方法。在 此外，AD-RCMAR 的 CLRC 将加强现有的传播和翻译基础设施 影响参与社区的老龄化、ADRD 和健康方面的研究进展 年长的西班牙裔人。 CLRC 的具体目标是： (1) 与研究教育核心合作 (REC) 在理论和方法方面教育、培训和指导 AD-RCMAR 学者 社区参与解决少数族裔健康差异问题，并协助 AD-RCMAR 学者招募 老年西班牙裔及其家人的研究； (2) 拓展社区学术 支持招募和保留老年城市和农村西班牙裔的伙伴关系和能力 他们的家人； (3) 向科学界、医疗保健界传播研究成果 服务提供者和南德克萨斯社区。我们将通过指导来实现这些目标 AD-RCMAR 学者，学者与已建立的研究人员进行基于社区的联系 对农村和城市西班牙裔人口的研究以及社区培训以促进广泛 采用优化研究参与的最佳实践。结果将创建一个状态- 为感兴趣的研究人员、医疗保健提供者、倡导者和政策制定者提供最先进的基础设施 减少影响老年西班牙裔人，特别是受 AD 影响的健康差距。到 为了实现这些目标，我们建立了一支具有丰富社区经验的科学家团队 变革、基于社区的研究、教育和西班牙裔人口，其中涉及科学家 UTRGV 以及世界卫生组织合作中心社区工作组 堪萨斯大学健康与发展部以及卫生机构、卫生保健提供者， 德克萨斯州里奥格兰德河谷 (RGV) 的临床医生和社区组织。
