ABSTRACT The proposed work will fund two postdoctoral scholars from varied disciplines each for 3 years to focus on equity in Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias. This application will create a training program for early career researchers from the United States (U.S.) who are passionate about brain health for underserved communities. We will leverage two outstanding programs at the University of California at San Francisco’s (UCSF). The Global Brain Health Institute (GBHI) led by MPD/PI, Victor Valcour, which leads a 12-month international training program in equity and dementia with a particular focus on low and middle income countries. This 12-month course enrolls international and inter-professional trainees and provides an equity-based curriculum in Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias, leadership training, career mentoring and a robust alumni experience to advance their careers. The UCSF Memory and Aging Center (MAC), led by MPD/PI, Bruce Miller, has a remarkable record in training successful academic behavioral neurologists with a T32-funded behavioral neurology training program (BNTP). This remarkable environment provides outstanding research opportunities for trainees supported by the current T32 application to research Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias. Although GBHI does not exclude applications from the US and has a track-record of successful engagement of U.S. citizens, the one-year curriculum is insufficient for early-stage trainees (e.g. postdocs) who typically require 2-3 years of support in order to successfully transition to academic posts. The two-year BNTP fellowship accepts only doctors, is neurologically-focused and does not specifically focus upon brain health equity. This T32 will fill this gap in both programs by intentionally targeting multi-disciplinary early career patient-oriented researchers and by providing 3-years of support. These T32 trainees will leverage the most robust aspects of coursework and environment provided by the curriculum at GBHI and the MAC while also working with faculty across multiple departments at UCSF as they advance trajectories toward independence. Our application includes substantial novelty in that trainees will be working with other international trainees who are in later stages of their career and will serve as experts for work in diverse immigrant communities in the U.S. Our long-term goal is to contribute to the pool of academic research working together to better understand disparities in Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias and create culturally appropriate solutions to optimize diagnosis and care for underserved groups.

摘要 拟议的工作将资助来自不同学科的两名博士后学者，每人为期3年，专注于公平 阿尔茨海默氏症和相关痴呆症。此应用程序将创建一个早期职业生涯的培训计划 来自美国的研究人员（美国）他们热衷于为服务不足的社区提供大脑健康。 我们将利用加州大学弗朗西斯科分校（UCSF）的两个优秀课程。全球 脑健康研究所（GBHI）由MPD/PI，维克托瓦尔库尔，领导为期12个月的国际培训 平等和痴呆症方案，特别侧重于低收入和中等收入国家。这12个月的 该课程招收国际和跨专业学员，并在以下方面提供基于平等的课程： 阿尔茨海默病和相关痴呆症，领导力培训，职业指导和强大的校友 经验来推动他们的职业生涯。加州大学旧金山分校记忆和衰老中心（MAC），由MPD/PI，布鲁斯米勒， 在培训成功的学术行为神经学家方面有着卓越的记录， 神经病学培训计划（BNTP）。这个卓越的环境提供了出色的研究机会 由目前的T32应用程序支持的受训者研究阿尔茨海默病和相关痴呆症。 虽然GBHI不排除来自美国的申请，并有成功参与的记录， 美国公民，一年的课程是不够的早期学员（如博士后）谁通常需要 2-3多年的支持，以成功过渡到学术职位。为期两年的BNTP奖学金接受 只有医生，是神经学的重点，并没有特别关注大脑健康的公平性。T32将填补 这两个项目的差距是故意针对多学科的早期职业生涯面向患者的研究人员 并提供3年的支持。这些T32学员将利用课程中最强大的方面 和环境提供的课程在GBHI和MAC，同时也与教师跨多个 在UCSF的部门，因为他们推进独立的轨迹。我们的应用程序包括大量 新奇在于，学员将与其他处于职业生涯后期的国际学员一起工作， 我们的长期目标是为美国不同移民社区的工作做出贡献。 学术研究的汇集，共同努力，以更好地了解阿尔茨海默病的差异， 相关的痴呆症，并创造文化上适当的解决方案，以优化诊断和护理服务不足 组
