CORE--EDUCATION/INFORMATION TRANSFER

教育/信息传输核心(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输的所有方面。E/ITC提供了中心主题“了解阿尔茨海默病的机制和优化治疗阿尔茨海默病”的教育层面。E/ITC核心活动的新重点与ADRC的变化相一致，并根据指导此次更新建议的RFA，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(包括路易体痴呆和额颞叶变性)的关注。E/ITC为加州大学洛杉矶分校的ADRC带来了特殊的优势，包括在项目评估方面的专业知识，与新资助的少数族裔老龄化研究资源中心(RCMAR)NIA协调中心的联系，以及与包括阿尔茨海默氏症协会在内的社区服务协会的合作。E/ITC的三个主要目标群体是ADRC、大学和社区(从业者、患者、家庭和照顾者)。教育方法包括会议、研讨会、座谈会、培训课程和开发教育材料，包括基于网络的材料和视频。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教职员工和学生、患者、家庭、 (3)协调ADRC E/ITC的活动，并向地方社区方案、州和国家ADRC以及其他NIA倡议提供技术援助；(4)评估E/ITC活动的有效性和完成情况。E/ITC的主要重点是多元文化推广活动，并与ADRC的两个附属诊所密切合作：橄榄园诊所主要服务于西班牙裔老年人口，King/Drew诊所主要服务于非裔美国老年人。设在加州大学洛杉矶分校的NIA赞助的RCMAR将为E/ITC的工作带来额外的资源。

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.
