The purpose of the Education/Information Transfer Core (E/ITC) is to address all aspects of education and information transfer relevant to the UCLA Alzheimer's Disease Research Center (ADRC). The E/ITC provides the educational dimension of the Center theme "Understanding the mechanisms and optimizing the care of Alzheimer's disease (AD)." The new emphases in the E/ITC's core activities, in concert with the changes in the ADRC and in accordance with the RFA guiding this renewal proposal, include an expanded focus on mild cognitive impairment (MCI), cognitive impairment not demented (CIND), and non-AD dementias including dementia with Lewy bodies and frontotemporal lobar degeneration. The E/ITC brings special strengths to the UCLA ADRC, including expertise in program evaluation, liaison with the newly funded NIA Coordinating Center for the Resource Centers for Minority Aging Research (RCMAR), and collaborations with community service associations, including the Alzheimer's Association. The three principal target groups for the E/ITC are the ADRC, the University, and the community (practitioners, patients, families, and caregivers). Educational methods include conferences, seminars, symposia, training sessions, and development of educational materials, including web-based materials and videos. The specific aims of the E/ITC are to: (1) support all ADRC Cores and Projects through educational activities; (2) provide outreach, education, and information dissemination to community health professionals, non-AD UCLA faculty and students, patients, families, and caregivers, with special emphasis on reaching minority populations; (3) coordinate ADRC E/ITC activities and provide technical assistance to local community programs, state and national ADRCs and other NIA initiatives; and (4) evaluate the effectiveness and accomplishment of E/ITC activities. The E/ITC has a major emphases on muticultural outreach activities and works closely with the two satellite clinics of the ADRC: Olive View, which serves a primarily Hispanic elderly population, and King/Drew, which serves a primarily African American elderly population. The NIA-sponsored RCMAR based at UCLA will bring additional resources to E/ITC efforts.

教育/信息传递核心（E/ITC）的目的是解决与加州大学洛杉矶分校阿尔茨海默病研究中心（ADRC）相关的教育和信息传递的各个方面。E/ITC提供了中心主题“了解阿尔茨海默病（AD）的机制和优化护理”的教育层面。“E/ITC核心活动的新重点，与ADRC的变化相一致，并根据RFA指导这一更新提案，包括扩大对轻度认知障碍（MCI），非痴呆性认知障碍（CIND）和非AD痴呆症的关注，包括路易体痴呆症和额颞叶变性。E/ITC为加州大学洛杉矶分校ADRC带来了特殊优势，包括项目评估方面的专业知识，与新资助的NIA少数民族老龄化研究资源中心协调中心（RCMAR）的联络，以及与社区服务协会（包括阿尔茨海默氏症协会）的合作。E/ITC的三个主要目标群体是ADRC，大学和社区（从业人员，患者，家庭和护理人员）。教育方法包括会议、研讨会、专题讨论会、培训班和编写教育材料，包括网上材料和录像。E/ITC的具体目标是：（1）通过教育活动支持所有ADRC核心和项目;（2）向社区卫生专业人员，非AD UCLA教师和学生，患者，家庭， （3）协调ADRC E/ITC活动，并为当地社区方案、州和国家ADRC以及其他NIA倡议提供技术援助;（4）评估E/ITC活动的有效性和成就。E/ITC的主要重点是多文化外联活动，并与ADRC的两个卫星诊所密切合作：Olive View，主要为西班牙裔老年人提供服务，King/Drew，主要为非裔美国老年人提供服务。NIA赞助的RCMAR总部设在加州大学洛杉矶分校，将为E/ITC的工作带来额外的资源。
