Summary – Community Liaison and Recruitment Core Although Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and AD-related dementias (ADRD) disproportionally affect older Hispanic Americans, this population is severely underrepresented in research studies, preventing advances to mitigate the excess burden and significant societal costs. The Community Liaison and Recruitment Core (CLRC) of the Alzheimer´s disease AD/ADRD-Resource Center for Minority Aging Research (RCMAR) at the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley (UTRGV) will build upon the Center's prior success to continue spearheading its effort to train and support a diverse group of promising scientists in theory-based approaches for the engagement of older Hispanics, especially Mexican Americans, and their families in social and behavioral AD/ADRD research. The CLRC will also strengthen existing infrastructure for dissemination and translation of research advances impacting the engaged communities, and to obtain community feedback and direction aiming to establish true bi-directional learning, reciprocal expertise transfer, and enhance the Center Scientists’ expertise and commitment. The CLRC's Specific Aims are: (1) Working collaboratively with the Research Education Core (REC), educate, train, and mentor AD/ADRD-RCMAR scientists in theory and approach to community engagement for minority health disparities and assist AD/ADRD-RCMAR scientists in recruiting older Hispanics and their families into their research studies; (2) Expand community-academic partnerships and capacity to support recruitment and retention of older urban and rural Mexican Americans and their families in South Texas, especially along the US/Mexico border; and (3) Disseminate research findings to the scientific community, health care providers, and the South Texas communities served. We will achieve these aims through strong mentorship of AD/ADRD-RCMAR scientists, linkage of scientists with established investigators conducting community-based research in rural and urban Hispanic populations, and community training to facilitate the widespread adoption of best practices for optimizing participation in research studies. The results will create a state-of-the-art infrastructure for researchers, health care providers, advocates, and policymakers interested in decreasing health disparities affecting older Hispanics, and in particular those affected by AD/ADRD. To accomplish these goals, we have built a diverse team of scientists with extensive experience in community change, community–based research, education, and Mexican American populations. Scientists involved and collaborating include those at UTRGV, South Texas ADRC, and the World Health Organization Collaborating Center-Work Group for Community Health and Development at the University of Kansas; and also health agencies, health care providers, clinicians, and community-based organizations of the Rio Grande Valley, Texas.

摘要-社区联络和招聘核心 虽然阿尔茨海默病（AD）和AD相关性痴呆（ADRD）对老年西班牙裔美国人的影响很大， 美国人，这一人口在研究中的代表性严重不足，阻止了减轻 过度负担和巨大的社会成本。社区联络和招聘核心（CLRC） 阿尔茨海默氏病AD/ADRD-少数民族老龄化研究资源中心（RCMAR）， 得克萨斯州格兰德河谷（UTRGV）将在该中心先前的成功基础上，继续率先开展其 努力培训和支持各种有前途的科学家，以理论为基础的方法， 参与老年西班牙裔，特别是墨西哥裔美国人，及其家庭在社会和行为 AD/ADRD研究。该中心还将加强现有的基础设施， 影响参与社区的研究进展，并获得社区反馈和方向 旨在建立真正的双向学习，互惠的专业知识转移，并提高中心科学家的 专业知识和承诺。CLRC的具体目标是：（1）与研究合作 教育核心（REC），教育，培训和指导AD/ADRD-RCMAR科学家的理论和方法， 社区参与少数民族健康差异，并协助AD/ADRD-RCMAR科学家招募 老年西班牙裔和他们的家人进入他们的研究学习;（2）扩大社区学术伙伴关系 和能力，以支持招聘和保留老年城市和农村墨西哥裔美国人及其 （3）在德克萨斯州南部，特别是沿着美国/墨西哥边境的家庭中传播研究结果， 科学界，卫生保健提供者和南德克萨斯州社区服务。我们将实现这些目标 目的是通过AD/ADRD-RCMAR科学家的强有力的指导，科学家与建立 调查人员在农村和城市西班牙裔人口中进行基于社区的研究， 培训，以促进广泛采用最佳做法，优化参与研究。 研究结果将为研究人员、医疗保健提供者、倡导者和 政策制定者有兴趣减少影响老年西班牙裔人的健康差距，特别是那些 受AD/ADRD影响。为了实现这些目标，我们建立了一支多元化的科学家团队， 在社区变化，社区为基础的研究，教育和墨西哥裔美国人的经验。 参与和合作的科学家包括UTRGV、南德克萨斯州ADRC和世界卫生组织的科学家。 组织机构协作中心- 堪萨斯;以及卫生机构、卫生保健提供者、临床医生和社区组织。 德克萨斯州的格兰德河谷。
