Project Summary – Research Education Component The overwhelming burden of suffering, disability, and years of life lost due to Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and AD-related dementias (AD/ADRD) represent a global crisis. Hispanic Americans are at higher risk for AD/ADRD and less likely to receive care and participate in research and service efforts designed to decrease health disparities in AD/ADRD than their non-Hispanic White counterparts. This is particularly evident among Hispanic Americans residing in the Rio Grande Valley (RGV), an area classified as persistent poverty and medically underserved, where the prevalence of dementia is among the highest in the country. Reaching and studying this population requires culturally-attuned and appropriately-trained investigators who are prepared to advance social, behavioral, and community-engaged research with translational impact. There is an equally great concomitant need to diversify the AD/ADRD research workforce, increasing representation of members of the many communities, identities, races, ethnicities, backgrounds, abilities, cultures and beliefs, including underserved communities, that make up the American people. The AD/ADRD-RCMAR’s Research Education Component (REC) at the University of Texas RGV (UTRGV) puts into place a comprehensive research education program with two overarching objectives: 1) to prepare a diverse body of early-career junior faculty to grow into enduring careers as successful research scientists, and 2) to contribute in an impactful way to the body of knowledge on health disparities in AD/ADRD among the growing US Hispanic population, particularly aging Mexican Americans, along the Texas-Mexico border in the Rio Grande Valley and South Texas. The REC will leverage the research expertise and resources of experienced, successful, interdisciplinary investigators and leaders in these fields to achieve the following specific aims: (1) Identify and support innovative pilot projects, focused on social or behavioral problems, aspects, or correlates of AD/ADRD in minority populations. (2) Support the continued development of pilot project grant recipients as researchers. (3) Provide training in grant preparation, administration, and budgeting. (4) Provide a series of didactics/seminars on: a) Health disparities research survey; b) AD/ADRD-RCMAR Cores and key unique research resources and their potential application to AD/ADRD health disparities research; c) AD/ADRD research in Texas; and d) responsible conduct of research. (5) Provide continued mentoring. To accomplish these goals, we have built a leadership team with extensive experience in research education, planning and evaluation of mentoring, and leadership of collaborative interdisciplinary research efforts aimed at improving minorities' and Hispanics' health in targeted geographic populations, and we have accounted for all needed administrative and logistic support. Trainees and mentees will engage in and benefit from a rich immersive experience in developing collaborative research addressing social and behavioral contributors to AD/ADRD and its impacts in the poverty-stricken, primarily Hispanic US-Mexico border region of the RGV.

项目摘要--研究教育部分 阿尔茨海默病(AD)和老年痴呆症(AD)造成的痛苦、残疾和生命损失的巨大负担 与AD相关的痴呆(AD/ADRD)代表着一场全球危机。拉美裔美国人患癌症的风险更高 AD/ADRD和不太可能接受护理并参与旨在减少 AD/ADRD患者的健康差异高于非西班牙裔白人患者。这一点在以下方面尤为明显 居住在格兰德河谷(RGV)的拉美裔美国人，该地区被归类为持续贫困和 医疗服务不足，痴呆症患病率在全国名列前茅。 接触和研究这一群体需要具有文化修养和适当培训的调查人员 准备推进具有翻译影响的社会、行为和社区参与研究。那里 也同样需要使AD/ADRD研究人员多样化，增加代表性 许多社区、身份、种族、民族、背景、能力、文化和信仰的成员， 包括服务不足的社区，这些社区构成了美国人民。AD/ADRD-RCMAR的研究 德克萨斯大学RGV(UTRGV)的教育部门(REC)制定了全面的 研究教育计划有两个主要目标：1)为早期职业生涯准备多样化的主体 初级教员成长为成功的研究科学家的经久不衰的职业，以及2)在 了解AD/ADRD在日益增长的美国西班牙裔中的健康差异的有效途径 人口，特别是年迈的墨西哥裔美国人，沿德克萨斯州和墨西哥边境的格兰德河谷 和南得克萨斯州。REC将利用经验丰富、成功的 这些领域的跨学科调查人员和领导者，以实现以下具体目标：(1)确定和 支持创新的试点项目，重点关注AD/ADRD的社会或行为问题、方面或相关性 在少数族裔人群中。(2)支持试点资助对象继续发展为科研人员。 (3)提供赠款准备、管理和预算方面的培训。(4)提供一系列 教学/研讨会：a)健康差距研究调查；b)AD/ADRD-RCMAR核心和主要独特 研究资源及其在AD/ADRD健康差异研究中的潜在应用；c)AD/ADRD 在得克萨斯州的研究；以及d)负责任的研究行为。(5)提供持续辅导。要完成 为了实现这些目标，我们建立了一支在研究、教育、规划和管理方面拥有丰富经验的领导团队。 评估指导，并领导旨在改进的跨学科协作研究工作 少数民族和拉美裔美国人在目标地理人群中的健康，我们已经考虑到了所有需要的 行政和后勤支持。学员和学员将参与并受益于身临其境的丰富体验 开发针对AD/ADRD的社会和行为贡献者的协作研究的经验 以及它对贫困地区，主要是西班牙裔美国-墨西哥边境地区RGV的影响。
