总体总结 哥伦比亚大学阿尔茨海默病跨学科研究中心的重点 差异(CIRAD)是ADRD的生物学、行为、社会文化和环境机制 差异，包括风险和复原力因素、生物标记物和照料。CIRAD将组装 哥伦比亚大学医学中心四所学院的多学科调查小组 包括内科和外科医生、护理学、公共卫生和牙科医学、Taub研究所 哥伦比亚大学阿尔茨海默氏病研究所 研究中心(CU-ADRC)、Gertrude H.Sergievsky中心和纽约州精神病学 研究所。此外，CIRAD将与西奈山医学院ADRC建立伙伴关系， 威尔康奈尔医学中心(WCMC)，阿尔伯特·爱因斯坦医学院的爱因斯坦衰老研究， 纽约州立大学下州医学分校Riverdale的希伯来语养老院(HHAR) 中心和纽约市立大学。该团队包括社会研究领域的专家 健康决定因素(SDOH)、照料和痴呆、心理健康、身体健康、压力、 预防、行为研究、观察研究、临床试验、生物信息学和社区- 以参与性研究为基础。CIRAD将与基于社区的组织和成员合作 纽约市社区。CIRAD团队可以访问大量资源进行培训 将提供给RCMAR的ADRD差异研究和职业发展活动 科学家在他们的试点研究之前、期间和之后都得到了资助。CIRAD的目标是提供 辅导和职业发展，支持试点研究，培训健康差距，以及 与来自代表性不足背景的调查人员进行跨学科协作 ADRD研究，并支持和加快关于生物、行为、社会文化、 和环境机制，以便缩小或消除ADRD差距。

OVERALL SUMMARY The focus of the Columbia University Center for Interdisciplinary Research on Alzheimer’s Disease Disparities (CIRAD) is biological, behavioral, sociocultural, and environmental mechanisms of ADRD disparities, including risk and resilience factors, biomarkers, and caregiving. The CIRAD will assemble a multidisciplinary team of investigators at the four schools of the Columbia University Medical Center including the Physicians and Surgeons, Nursing, Public Health and Dental Medicine, the Taub Institute for Research on Alzheimer’s Disease and Aging, the Columbia University Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center (CU-ADRC), the Gertrude H. Sergievsky Center, and the New York State Psychiatric Institute. Additionally, the CIRAD will have partnerships with the Mount Sinai School of Medicine ADRC, Weill Cornell Medical Center (WCMC), The Einstein Aging Study at Albert Einstein College of Medicine, Hebrew Home for the Aged at Riverdale (HHAR), the State University of New York – Downstate Medical Center and the City University of New York. The team includes experts in research in social determinants of health (SDOH), caregiving and dementia, mental health, physical health, stress, prevention, behavioral research, observational studies, clinical trials, bioinformatics and community- based participatory research. CIRAD will partner with community based organizations and members of the New York City community. The CIRAD team has access to tremendous resources for training in ADRD disparities research and career development activities that will be provided to the RCMAR Scientists before, during, and after their pilot studies are funded. The goal of CIRAD is to provide mentoring and career development, support for pilot studies, training in health disparities, and interdisciplinary collaboration to investigators from under-represented backgrounds who are pursuing ADRD research, and to support and accelerate research on the biological, behavioral, sociocultural, and environmental mechanisms of ADRD disparities so that they can be narrowed or eliminated.
