Leadership and Administrative Core

摘要：领导力与行政核心 密歇根阿尔茨海默氏症相关因素研究中心的领导和管理核心(LAC) 疾病(MCCFAD)促进了该中心的两个长期目标：(1)促进阿尔茨海默病和 与痴呆症(ADRD)相关的社会和行为科学研究 代表不足的社区；以及2)使致力于ADRD的研究队伍多样化。我们与 在密歇根州有独特历史的三个服务不足的群体：中东北非(MENA)美国人， 拉丁裔和非裔美国人。ADRD研究和与中东和北非和拉丁裔的社区关系是 是在这个项目中专门开发的；而多亏了我们的UM同事，我们利用了已经 由密歇根中心开发的与非洲裔美国人的发展研究和社区关系 城市非裔美国人老龄化研究(MCUAAAR)和密歇根阿尔茨海默病研究 中心(MADRC)。拉丁美洲和加勒比地区通过有效的方式确保所有MCCFAD活动的整合和协调 互动、交流和信息流。此外，它还利用了加州大学的现有资源 密歇根州立大学(密歇根州立大学、韦恩州立大学、奥克兰大学、 嗯-迪尔伯恩)，以实现协作指导和研究的独特联系。中心的基本原则 是AD-RCMAR研究科学家的试点项目。因此，LAC提供了监督和 支持征集和选择试点项目，以资助和招聘研究人员 该中心丰富和夏季数据沉浸项目的科学家。这个AD-RCMAR专注于 社会和行为研究，考察影响ADRD体验的背景因素 不同的群体。为了在这些领域进行高质量的研究，研究应该包括社区 会员们在各个方面进行了研究。与社区联络和招募核心一起， 法援会将继续在最具文化敏感度和最适当的地区建立和维持社区伙伴关系 可能的方式。最后，LAC确保组织和财政的完整性、计划的有效性，以及 遵守所有相关的规章制度和道德原则。我们最大限度地利用技术来 实施分部负责的结构和强有力的监督，其中包括来自内部和 外部咨询委员会以及社区合作伙伴委员会和卫生专业指导委员会。 总而言之，LAC监督、管理、指导和支持所有其他MCCFAD核心，以确保其丰富 对ADRD和ADRD不平等中的上下文因素的研究的进行和质量，同时也在增加 ADRD员工队伍的多样性。

ABSTRACT: LEADERSHIP AND ADMINISTATIVE CORE The Leadership and Administrative Core (LAC) of the Michigan Center for Contextual Factors in Alzheimer’s Disease (MCCFAD) promotes the two long-term goals of the Center to: (1) Advance Alzheimer’s Disease and Related Dementias (ADRD) relevant social and behavioral science research in underserved and underrepresented communities; and 2) Diversify the research workforce dedicated to ADRD. We engage with three underserved groups with unique histories in Michigan: Middle Eastern North African (MENA) Americans, Latinos and African Americans. ADRD research and community based relations with MENA and Latinos are developed specifically within this project; whereas, thanks to our UM colleagues, we capitalize on the already developed research and community based relations with African Americans developed by the Michigan Center for Urban African American Aging Research (MCUAAAR) and the Michigan Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center (MADRC). The LAC ensures integration and coordination of all MCCFAD activities through effective interactions, communication, and information flow. Further, it leverages existing resources at the University of Michigan (UM) and partner institutions (Michigan State University, Wayne State University, Oakland University, UM-Dearborn) to enable unique linkages for collaborative mentoring and research. Fundamental to the Center are the pilot projects of the AD-RCMAR Research Scientists. Therefore, the LAC provides oversight and support for the solicitation and selection of pilot projects for funding and for the recruitment of Research Scientists for the Center’s Enrichment and Summer Data Immersion programs. This AD-RCMAR focuses on social and behavioral research that examines contextual factors that influence the experience of ADRD among different groups. To conduct high quality research in these areas, research should include community members in all aspects of the research. In conjunction with the Community Liaison and Recruitment Core, the LAC will continue to build and sustain community partnerships in the most culturally sensitive and appropriate manner possible. And finally, the LAC ensures organizational and fiscal integrity, program effectiveness, and compliance with all relevant rules, regulations, and ethical principles. We maximize the use of technology to implement a structure of segmented responsibility and strong oversight that includes counsel from Internal and External Advisory Boards as well as Community Partner Boards and Health Professional Steering Committees. In sum, the LAC oversees, manages, directs, and supports all other MCCFAD Cores to assure that it enriches the conduct and quality of research on contextual factors in ADRD and ADRD inequalities while also increasing the diversity of the ADRD workforce.
