PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT Establishing mechanisms for increasing the pipeline of scientists who conduct research in aging and Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias (ADRD), and mentoring these scientists, are national public health priorities. This is evidenced in the long-term goals of the National Institute on Aging (NIA), as well as Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and Alzheimer’s Association “State and Local Public Health Partnerships to Address Dementia: The 2018-2023 Road Map”. The proposed project responds to these priorities through the establishment of an annual conference entitled, “Promoting High-Impact Alzheimer’s Disease Research through the Use of Statewide Registries: Expanding Diversity in Aging Research.” This conference series also addresses the NIA’s ADRD Implementation Milestone 4.S: “To improve and increase training, including for individuals who are members of under-represented populations, and of different career levels of scholars who conduct health disparities research in AD/ADRD.” The specific aims of the conference series are to: 1: Provide a forum for underrepresented minority (URM) and non- URM researchers to learn how to conduct high-impact ADRD research using statewide registries; 2: Provide a mechanism for senior faculty/experts to mentor junior URM researchers in AD registry research through the submission of a) an abstract for presentation at the following year’s R13 conference, and b) a manuscript to a peer-reviewed journal; 3: Provide a mechanism to support ongoing networking among URM and non-URM researchers; and 4: Conduct process and outcome evaluations of the program, making modifications as needed. The proposed conference series leverages the MPIs’ successful leadership in providing mentoring to URM and non- URM faculty and undergraduate students through several active NIA-supported mechanisms, including the Alzheimer’s- related Resource Centers for Minority Aging Research (RCMAR; Carolina Center on Alzheimer’s Disease and Minority Research (CCADMR); MPIs Levkoff & Friedman, Research Education Component Lead Ingram), the South Carolina- Advancing Diversity in Aging Research (SC-ADAR; PI Levkoff) program, and the CDC’s Healthy Brain Research Network (PI Friedman). Similar to our NIA-funded projects, the conference series will extend our statewide collaborations with Clemson University and the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC), and three Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) - Claflin University, Allen University, and South Carolina State University. Additional partners include the only active statewide AD registries in the United States (US), which are located in Georgia, West Virginia, and South Carolina (the last of which is housed within an office that is co-directed by MPI Friedman). Additional NIA-funded partners include researchers affiliated with the UCLA RCMAR Coordinating Center, University of Southern California (USC) AD-RCMAR, and USC/UCLA Center on Biodemography and Population Health. The conference series will contribute to our ultimate goal of diversifying the research workforce in aging and ADRD and advancing the science on ADRD disparities.

项目摘要/摘要 建立机制以增加从事衰老和阿尔茨海默氏症研究的科学家的渠道 疾病及相关痴呆症(ADRD)和指导这些科学家是国家公共卫生优先事项。这是 国家老龄研究所(NIA)以及疾病控制和预防中心的长期目标证明了这一点 预防(CDC)和阿尔茨海默氏症协会“州和地方公共卫生伙伴关系，以解决痴呆症： 《2018-2023年路线图》。拟议项目通过建立一个年度项目来回应这些优先事项。 题为“通过使用全州登记促进高影响的阿尔茨海默病研究： 扩大老龄化研究的多样性。该系列会议还介绍了NIA的ADRD实施里程碑 4.S：“改善和增加培训，包括对任职人数偏低人群的培训，以及 在AD/ADRD中进行健康差异研究的不同职业水平的学者。 该系列会议的具体目标是：1：为代表不足的少数群体和非代表群体提供一个论坛 URM研究人员学习如何使用全州范围的注册进行高影响力的ADRD研究；2：提供 高级教员/专家通过提交材料指导AD注册研究中的初级URM研究人员的机制 A)在下一年的R13会议上提交的摘要，以及b)提交同行评议的手稿 期刊；3：提供一种机制，支持URM和非URM研究人员之间的持续联系；以及4： 对计划进行过程和结果评估，并根据需要进行修改。 拟议的会议系列利用MPI在向市建局和非政府组织提供指导方面的成功领导作用 URM教职员工和本科生通过几个积极的NIA支持的机制，包括阿尔茨海默氏症- 少数族裔老龄化研究相关资源中心(RCMAR；卡罗莱纳阿尔茨海默病和少数族裔研究中心 研究(CCADMR)；MPIS Levkoff&Friedman，研究教育部分，首席英格拉姆)，南卡罗来纳州- 促进老龄化研究的多样性(SC-ADAR；Pi Levkoff)计划，以及CDC的健康大脑研究网络(PI 弗里德曼)。与我们NIA资助的项目类似，会议系列将扩展我们在全州范围内的合作 克莱姆森大学和南卡罗来纳医科大学(MUSC)，以及三所历史上的黑人学院和 大学(HBCU)-克拉夫林大学、艾伦大学和南卡罗来纳州立大学。其他合作伙伴 包括位于佐治亚州、西弗吉尼亚州和西弗吉尼亚州的美国唯一活动的全州AD注册中心 南卡罗来纳州(最后一个由MPI Friedman共同指导的办公室内)。NIA提供的额外资金 合作伙伴包括南加州大学UCLA RCMAR协调中心的附属研究人员 (南加州大学)AD-RCMAR和南加州大学/加州大学洛杉矶分校生物人口学和人口健康中心。会议系列将 为我们的最终目标做出贡献，即在老龄化和ADRD方面使研究人员多样化，并推动科学 ADRD差异。
