PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT This is a T32 training grant from the University of Kansas Alzheimer's Disease Research Center (KU ADRC) to train the next generation of researchers in Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD). The KU ADRC was funded in 2011 and is one of 33 national research centers with unique thematic expertise in mitochondria / bioenergetics, lifestyle modification, and AD prevention research. The KU ADRC research base has grown dramatically in the last decade and there is now a clear need to grow its research training programs to accelerate the research efforts and create the next generation of ADRD researchers. The proposed T32 program will provide multidisciplinary, translational ADRD research training for 2 predoctoral, 2 postdoctoral, and 4 summer students. Program faculty include 23 Primary Preceptors who are uniquely qualified to support full-time (pre- and postdoctoral trainees) and summer trainees and 19 Short-Term Preceptors who are eligible to support summer students. The 42 faculty come from 18 departments and include basic, translational, and clinical investigators who all have a history of collaboration with each other and the ADRC. We have a large and growing pool of training grant eligible trainees who are attracted by the diverse and growing portfolio of NIH funded research. Our training approach includes a dual mentorship plan (i.e., basic and clinical mentors) for full-time trainees that is structured as an Individual Development Plan to encourage multidisciplinary and translational approaches. The program is designed to provide the skills needed to develop an independent research career in ADRD research through 4 objectives: 1) provide a broad ADRD foundation with exposure to diverse research approaches (basic, clinical, and translational) and clinical care (patients and caregivers), 2) develop ADRD research skills (basic, clinical, and translational), 3) develop multidisciplinary research skills to foster collaborations among trainees and mentors, and 4) develop presentation and grant-writing skills. The summer training program is designed to expose clinical students to ADRD research and clinical care to foster interest in careers in ADRD research. The training program leverages institutional resources and the KU ADRC's research strengths to create a developmental pathway for the next generation of ADRD basic, translational, and clinical scientists. T32 funding will provide critical support to synergize with ongoing institutional efforts, further enhance the ADRC's training efforts, and draw on the center's unique resources, exceptional mentors, supportive collaborators, and growing breadth of educational opportunities.

项目总结/摘要 这是堪萨斯大学阿尔茨海默病研究中心（KU）提供的T32培训补助金 ADRC）培训下一代阿尔茨海默病和相关痴呆症（ADRD）的研究人员。的 KU ADRC于2011年获得资助，是33个国家研究中心之一，具有独特的主题专业知识， 线粒体/生物能量学、生活方式改变和AD预防研究。KU ADRC研究基地 在过去的十年里，它的发展是惊人的，现在显然需要发展它的研究培训计划。 加速研究工作，培养下一代ADRD研究人员。 拟议的T32计划将提供多学科，翻译ADRD研究培训2 博士前，2博士后，和4个暑期学生。该计划的教师包括23名初级教师，他们是 唯一有资格支持全职（前和博士后学员）和夏季学员和19个短期 有资格支持暑期学生的辅导员。42名教师来自18个部门， 包括基础、翻译和临床研究者，他们都有相互合作的历史， ADRC。我们有一个庞大的和不断增长的人才库的培训补助金合资格的学员谁是吸引了 多样化和不断增长的投资组合NIH资助的研究。 我们的培训方法包括双重导师计划（即，为全日制学员提供基本及临床导师 该计划的结构是个人发展计划，以鼓励多学科和翻译 接近。该计划旨在提供发展独立研究职业所需的技能 通过4个目标进行ADRD研究：1）提供广泛的ADRD基础， 研究方法（基础，临床和转化）和临床护理（患者和护理人员），2）开发 ADRD研究技能（基础，临床和翻译），3）发展多学科研究技能，以促进 学员和导师之间的合作，以及4）发展演示和赠款写作技能。夏季 培训计划旨在使临床学生接触ADRD研究和临床护理，以培养对以下方面的兴趣： ADRD研究的职业。 该培训计划利用机构资源和KU ADRC的研究优势， 为下一代ADRD基础、转化和临床科学家提供发展途径。T32 资金将提供关键支持，以协同正在进行的机构努力，进一步加强ADRC的 培训工作，并利用中心的独特资源、杰出导师、支持性合作者，以及 教育机会越来越多。
