The Agile Nudge University Program

项目摘要/摘要 卫生与公众服务部内的许多机构，包括医疗保险中心和 医疗补助服务(CMS)和国家卫生研究院(NIH)已经确定(阿尔茨海默氏症和 相关痴呆症(ADRD)被列为首要研究重点。这是由于ADRD给患者带来的沉重负担所致 和社会。2020年，预计ADRD的社会成本超过3000亿美元，预计每年 到2050年，ADRD的经济成本将超过1.5万亿美元。为了解决这个问题，国家老龄研究所 呼吁发展跨学科行为和社会科学研究的短期课程 阿尔茨海默病和相关痴呆症提高ADRD工作人员治疗这种疾病的技能 (RFA-AG-22-010)。 为了响应这一号召，印第安纳大学(IU)的科学家们提议成立敏捷轻推大学 程序。该计划的目标是建立一个由高度参与的科学家组成的多样化网络 专门从事阿尔茨海默病和相关痴呆的治疗和研究，并开发虚拟 培训种族、民族和地理上不同的劳动力以实施卫生项目的课程 ADRD护理中的公平和反种族主义。伊利诺伊大学ADRD科学家的专家团队一直在开发 过去十年敏捷科学新兴领域的课程，为研究人员和医疗保健人员提供装备 具有用于设计、实施和传播的工具、自适应流程和敏捷策略的领导者 利用行为改变原则的可持续ADRD解决方案。这为印第安纳大学做好了准备 成为敏捷推动大学计划的枢纽，提供敏捷创新、敏捷 实施，并以改进计划的主要目标为行为推动的敏捷扩散 ADRD关怀。该计划将提供全面的跨学科指导和协作机会 面向不同的研究生，博士后研究员，以及对职业生涯早期、中期和高级教师感兴趣的人 在ADRD研究中。它还将提供一个在线平台，支持一个开源的个人在线图书馆 测试了轻推和基于一般理论的轻推策略，以及基于小组的问题解决会议。 治疗阿尔茨海默病的高昂成本以及患者和照顾者的成本，两者都是有形的 而且是无形的，是对公共健康和美国经济的主要威胁。对ADRD工作人员进行培训 有效设计和实施干预措施将弥合书架和现实世界之间的差距 医疗保健系统内的应用程序。

PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT Many agencies within the Department of Health and Human Services, including the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Service (CMS) and the National Institutes of Health (NIH), have identified (Alzheimer’s Disease and related dementias (ADRD) as a top research priority. This is driven by the high burden of ADRD on patients and society. In 2020, the estimated societal cost of ADRD was more than $300 billion and the projected annual economic cost of ADRD will exceed $1,500 billion by 2050. To address this, the National Institute on Aging calls for the development of short courses on interdisciplinary behavioral and social sciences research on Alzheimer’s Disease and related dementias to improve the skills of the ADRD workforce in treating this disease (RFA-AG-22-010). In response to this call, scientists at Indiana University (IU) propose to launch the Agile Nudge University program. The aims of the program are to establish a diverse network of highly engaged scientists who specialize in treatment and research for Alzheimer’s Disease and related dementias and to develop virtual curriculum to train a racially, ethnically, and geographically diverse workforce to conduct projects on health equity and anti-racism in ADRD care. The expert team of ADRD scientists at IU have been developing curriculum in the emerging field of Agile Science for the past ten years, equipping researchers and healthcare leaders with tools, adaptive processes, and agile strategies for designing, implementing, and spreading sustainable ADRD solutions that leverage behavior change principles. This has prepared Indiana University to be the Agile Nudge University program’s hub to deliver training for skills development in Agile Innovation, Agile Implementation, and Agile Diffusion of behavioral nudges with the main goal of the program of improving ADRD care. The program will offer comprehensive interdisciplinary mentoring and collaboration opportunities for diverse graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and early-career, midcareer, and senior faculty interested in ADRD research. It will also provide an online platform, supporting an open-source online library of individual tested nudges and general theory-based nudge strategies, group-based problem-solving sessions. The high costs of treating Alzheimer’s disease and the costs incurred by patients and caregivers, both tangible and intangible, are a major threat to public health and the US economy. Training the ADRD workforce in the effective design and implementation of interventions will bridge the gap between the bookshelf and real-world application within the healthcare system.
