HABS-HD DEVELOPMENT CORE - ABSTRACT There is a disproportionate burden of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and AD related disorders (ADRDs) among underrepresented groups (URGs), especially African American and Hispanic populations. This excess AD/ADRD morbidity, and its attendant socioeconomic costs, is expected to get even larger given that older URG adults are a rapidly expanding segment of the U.S. population. Specifically, epidemiological projections indicate that by 2060 the U.S. will become considerably “non-white,” as reflected by a 42% increase in the percentage of African Americans and a 114% increase in the percentage of persons of Hispanic origin, compared to an 8.2% decrease in the proportion of non-Hispanic whites. In light of this reality of an increasingly diverse U.S., it is imperative to curate educational opportunities that foster the training of a diverse workforce to meet the nation’s biomedical, behavioral, clinical and translational needs in AD/ADRDs. Such opportunities would help ensure the availability of a pipeline of ethnoculturally/linguistically diverse and culturally competent professionals prepared to study, evaluate, diagnose, and treat URG older adults with ADRDs. The need for such an initiative, at this point in time, is further underscored by the fact that despite ongoing efforts at the federal level to facilitate the participation of URGs in research careers, underrepresentation remains a persistent problem as evidenced by recent reports from the National Science Foundation and others showing, as an example, that persons from a URG background comprise only 5% of tenure-track neuroscience faculty despite making up a significantly larger slice of the U.S. population. Therefore, the overarching objective of the Development Core of the Health & Aging Brain Study – Health Disparities (HABS-HD) is to recruit, support, and provide targeted mentored training to an annual cohort of URG trainees (graduate/professional students, postdoctoral fellows, and early career investigators, to be known as HABS-HD Fellows) to ensure their research proficiency and cultural competency. We will equip them with the conceptual knowledgebase, practical skillset, and allied resources that will be beneficial for launching successful independent research careers in the AD/ADRD field. Trainees from a non-URG background who have a commitment to health disparities research will also be considered for this mentorship opportunity, as our ultimate goal is to address the current lack of an ethnoculturally/linguistically diverse and culturally competent AD/ADRD workforce. To address our objective, the Development Core will address the following Specific Aims: Aim 1: Deliver a targeted mentored training program to ensure research proficiency and cultural competency. Aim 2. Measure the effectiveness of the HABS-HD mentored training program.

HABS-HD开发核心-摘要 阿尔茨海默病（AD）和AD相关疾病（ADRD）的负担不成比例， 代表性不足的群体（URG），特别是非洲裔美国人和西班牙裔人口。这种过量的AD/ADRD 发病率及其伴随的社会经济成本，预计会变得更大，因为老年URG成人 美国人口中迅速扩大的一部分。具体而言，流行病学预测表明， 2060年，美国将成为相当“非白人”，反映在非洲人的比例增加42%。 美国人和西班牙裔人的百分比增加了114%，而下降了8.2% 非西班牙裔白人的比例。鉴于美国日益多样化的现实，当务之急是 策划教育机会，促进培训多样化的劳动力，以满足国家的生物医学， AD/ADRD的行为、临床和转化需求。这些机会将有助于确保 一个民族文化/语言多样性和文化能力的专业人员准备学习的管道， 评估、诊断和治疗患有ADRD的URG老年人。在这个时候，需要这样一个倡议， 尽管联邦一级正在努力促进妇女参与， 在研究职业中，代表性不足仍然是一个持续存在的问题，最近的报告证明了这一点。 来自国家科学基金会和其他机构的研究表明，作为一个例子， 仅占终身教职神经科学教师的5%，尽管在美国的比例要大得多。 人口因此，健康与老龄化大脑发展核心的总体目标 研究-健康差异（HABS-HD）是招募，支持和提供有针对性的指导培训， 每年一批的URG受训人员（研究生/专业学生，博士后研究员和早期职业 研究人员，被称为HABS-HD研究员），以确保他们的研究能力和文化 能力我们将为他们提供概念知识库、实践技能和相关资源 这将有利于在AD/ADRD领域开展成功的独立研究事业。学员 来自非URG背景谁有健康差异研究的承诺也将被考虑为 这个指导机会，因为我们的最终目标是解决目前缺乏民族文化/语言 多元化和文化上有能力的AD/ADRD劳动力。为了实现我们的目标，发展核心将 目标1：提供有针对性的指导培训计划，以确保研究 熟练程度和文化能力。目标二。衡量HABS-HD指导培训的有效性 程序.
