The proposed Emory University Alzheimer's Disease Research Center (ADC) will serve as a shared resource to facilitate and enhance interdisciplinary research in Alzheimer's disease (AD) and related disorders. The Emory ADC offers a broad range of expertise in basic and clinical research that will allow exploration of all aspects of AD and related disorders. The Education/Information Transfer Core (Education Core) of the ADC will provide educational programs and materials on AD to the community, families, health care professionals, and students. The major aims of the Core are to 1) Expand the infrastructure for educational activities to support scientific inquiry related to AD disease and related disorders through recruitment and retention of study participants with a special emphasis on under-represented groups; 2) Improve recognition of MCI, early AD and related disorders and emphasize the importance of autopsy through community education for families, caregivers, community lay leaders and health care professionals with a special focus on the African American community; 3) Augment interdisciplinary linkages and collaborative research to enhance and facilitate the study of AD through shared clinical, theoretical, and methodological perspectives and resources at all educational and practice levels . The Education Core will achieve these aims in a number of ways such as insuring cultural sensitivity in educational materials and presentations; creating a Community Advisory Board for guidance in reaching under-represented groups; developing cultural competence among ADC staff; innovative programs for recruitment activities; and using existing and new community and professional partners such as other Cores and ADCs, geriatric groups on campus, the Alzheimer's Association, Area Health Education Centers, and the Atlanta Regional Commission. Educational programs will be carefully evaluated using specific outcomes.

拟议中的埃默里大学阿尔茨海默病研究中心（ADC）将作为一个共享资源，以促进和加强阿尔茨海默病（AD）和相关疾病的跨学科研究。埃默里ADC在基础和临床研究方面提供广泛的专业知识，可以探索AD和相关疾病的各个方面。艺发局的教育/信息传递中心（教育中心）将为社区、家庭、医护人员和学生提供有关AD的教育课程和材料。核心的主要目标是：1）通过招募和保留研究参与者，特别强调代表性不足的群体，扩大教育活动的基础设施，以支持与AD疾病和相关疾病相关的科学探究; 2）提高对MCI、早期AD和相关疾病的认识，并通过对家庭、护理人员、社区领导者和卫生保健专业人员，特别关注非洲裔美国人社区; 3）加强跨学科联系和合作研究，通过在所有教育和实践层面共享临床，理论和方法论观点和资源，加强和促进AD的研究。教育核心将通过多种方式实现这些目标，例如确保教材和演示文稿中的文化敏感性;创建社区咨询委员会，指导如何接触代表性不足的群体;培养ADC工作人员的文化能力;招聘活动的创新方案;并利用现有的和新的社区和专业合作伙伴，如其他核心和ADC，老年组在校园里，阿尔茨海默氏症协会，地区健康教育中心，亚特兰大地区委员会。教育方案将使用具体成果进行仔细评估。
