PROJECT SUMMARY The Outreach, Recruitment, and Engagement Core (OREC) will be responsible for providing important liaison and outreach between the Cleveland Alzheimer's Disease Research Center (CADRC) and people with dementia, their care partners and both the professional and local lay community, so that information may be communicated bi-directionally. The OREC will be led by Dr. Martha Sajatovic, a clinical investigator with over 2 decades of clinical trials and research experience, with focus on community outreach and engagement of traditionally hard-to-reach or marginalized populations. To best meet the needs of the Center, the OREC must develop and maintain a robust pool of volunteers within Northeast Ohio, with and without cognitive impairment, who are willing to participate in the CADRC Clinical Core (CC) and other activities (e.g., clinical trials). The OREC will accomplish this through 4 specific aims. The OREC will promote recruitment and retention of participants in clinical research in close collaboration with the CC (Specific Aim 1). Both cores will continuously coordinate and evaluate recruitment and outreach efforts to identify the most effective strategies, develop new recruitment methods, and build even more extensive collaboration with community stakeholders and an expanded referral network. In Specific Aim 2, the OREC will focus recruitment of key subgroups, including African-Americans (AA), individuals with dementia with Lewy bodies and atypical Alzheimer's disease (AD), and cognitively normal controls. Taken together, these special populations will provide valuable new data on asymptomatic, at-risk individuals, and individuals in the earliest stages of neurocognitive decline. The OREC will leverage the existing Minority Advisory Board (MAB) to raise awareness of the CADRC within the AA community. Recruitment of other sub-groups will build upon successful funded programs to recruit from existing subject samples. Another goal of the OREC is to promote community education and communication, disseminate research findings, and obtain feedback that will continue to improve the academic-community partnership by engaging both the lay community as well as local and regional professional groups (Specific Aim 3). The OREC will aim to support all other members of the CADRC cores as it relates to linkage between the OREC and other cores. The OREC will facilitate communication between all cores, optimize outreach activities and help ensure that all cores are actively collaborating in the central goal of advancing AD research (Specific Aim 4).

项目总结 外联、招聘和参与核心(OREC)将负责提供重要的 克利夫兰阿尔茨海默病研究中心(CADRC)与患有阿尔茨海默病的人之间的联系和外联 痴呆症，他们的护理伙伴以及专业人士和当地的非专业人士社区，以便信息可以 双向交流。OREC将由玛莎·萨贾托维奇博士领导，她是一名临床研究员，拥有超过2名 数十年的临床试验和研究经验，重点是社区推广和参与 传统上难以触及或被边缘化的人群。为了最好地满足该中心的需求，OREC必须 在俄亥俄州东北部发展和维护一支强大的志愿者队伍，有没有认知障碍， 愿意参加CADRC临床核心(CC)和其他活动(例如临床试验)的人。OREC 将通过4个具体目标来实现这一目标。 OREC将密切合作，促进临床研究参与者的招聘和留用 与CC(具体目标1)。这两个核心将不断协调和评价征聘和外联工作 努力确定最有效的战略，开发新的招聘方法，并建立更广泛的 与社区利益攸关方合作并扩大转介网络。在具体目标2中，OREC将 重点招募关键分组，包括非裔美国人(AA)、路易斯病痴呆症患者 身体和非典型阿尔茨海默病(AD)，以及认知正常的对照组。总而言之，这些特别的 人口将最早提供关于无症状、高危个人和个人的有价值的新数据 神经认知衰退的各个阶段。OREC将利用现有的少数族裔咨询委员会(MAB)筹集资金 在AA社区内对CADRC的认识。其他分组的征聘将在成功的基础上再接再厉 资助项目，从现有的受试者样本中进行招募。OREC的另一个目标是促进社区 教育和沟通，传播研究成果，并获得将继续改进的反馈 通过让非专业人士以及地方和区域组织参与，建立学术-社区伙伴关系 专业团体(具体目标3)。OREC将致力于支持CADRC核心的所有其他成员 它涉及OREC与其他核心之间的联系。OREC将促进所有人之间的沟通 核心，优化外联活动，并帮助确保所有核心积极合作，以实现 推进AD研究(具体目标4)。
