The Education and Information Transfer Core of the ADRC builds upon nearly 20 years of experience linking education and community outreach efforts to important laboratory-based investigation, as well as the extensive, well-developed educational resources of the Harvard Medical School (HMS) Division on Aging, the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC) Gerontology Division, and the Hebrew Rehabilitation Center for Aged (HRCA) Research and Training Institute. The Principal Investigator, Lewis A. Lipsitz, M.D., holds appointments at all 3 institutions, each of which is largely focused on clinical issues related to the care of AD patients. Over the past 5 years we have trained 30 geriatric medicine fellows, 45 medical residents, 19 medical students, 4 post-doctoral research fellows, and 5 postdoctoral nurses in the area of AD and related dementias. We have disseminated information about dementia to over 35,000 community-dwelling elders through presentations, newsletters, and seminars. We have also completed postmortem analyses of 13 normal brains from people whose average age is 90 +/- 7 years. In this application we propose new projects in areas of professional education and information dissemination about AD to the African-American, Chinese-speaking, and Latino populations of Boston. Furthermore, we will continue the successful Memory and Aging Project that collects brains for postmortem examination from cognitively normal elderly individuals. The specific aims of the Core are: 1) To enhance the professional education of physicians in the diagnosis, management, and investigation of AD, 2) To increase the level of knowledge of non-professional caregivers and all consumers about the manifestations and management of AD and other dementias, and 3) To provide normal brain tissue from well-characterized elderly residents of the Hebrew Rehabilitation Center for Aged who agree to make brain donations to the ADRC Brain Bank when they die. In order to accomplish these goals, the ADRC has allied itself closely with several organizations, including The Massachusetts Alzheimer's Association, Boston Multicultural Coalition on Aging, local hospitals, and the Harvard Division on Aging.

ADRC的教育和信息转移核心基于将教育和社区推广工作与重要的基于实验室的调查以及哈佛大学医学院（HMS）衰老部的广泛，发达的教育资源联系起来的近20年的经验，贝丝·艾斯雷尔·伊斯雷尔·伊斯雷尔·迪克森斯医学中心（BIDMC）老年学院的贝丝·艾斯雷尔·伊斯雷尔·迪克尔（Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center）和培训学院（Hebrew and Habrew and Habitrew Rustruts and Hebrew Replation Centr）（主要研究人员刘易斯·利普茨（Lewis A. Lipsitz）医学博士在所有3个机构中任命任命，每个机构都集中在与AD患者护理有关的临床问题上。在过去的5年中 医学生，4名博士后研究研究员以及AD和相关痴呆症领域的5位博士后护士。我们通过演讲，新闻通讯和研讨会传播了有关痴呆症的信息，以超过35,000名社区居住的长者。我们还完成了对平均年龄为90 +/- 7岁的人的13个普通大脑的验尸分析。在此应用程序中，我们在专业教育和信息传播有关的广告中的新项目中提出了新的项目，以向波士顿的非裔美国人，讲中文和拉丁裔人口。此外，我们将继续进行成功的记忆和衰老项目，该项目为认知正常的老年人收集大脑以进行死后检查。核心的具体目的是：1）增强医生的专业教育 AD的诊断，管理和调查，2），以提高非专业护理人员的知识水平以及所有关于AD和其他痴呆症的表现和管理的消费者的知识水平，以及3），以及3））提供正常的脑组织，来自特征良好的希伯来语老年居民希伯来语康复中心的老年人，他们同意在死亡时向ADRC Brain Bank捐赠大脑。为了实现这些目标，ADRC与包括马萨诸塞州阿尔茨海默氏症协会，波士顿衰老多元文化联盟，当地医院和哈佛大学衰老分部在内的几个组织紧密相关。
