Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a major and increasing public health crisis in the United States (US) and a growing health disparity, with African Americans (AAs) at disproportionate risk for AD and related dementias (ADRD) compared to non-Hispanic Whites.1, 2 We seek to build on the experience of an interdisciplinary team in AD/ADRD-relevant research to support diverse early career researchers and mid-career scientists newly transitioning into AD/ADRD-relevant research carrying out research of high quality intended to prevent cognitive and functional decline in minority older adults and reduce racial disparities of AD/ADRD. The faculty of this AD-RCMAR are from the Johns Hopkins Schools of Public Health, Nursing, and Medicine, Morgan State University, and Hampton University and have decades of experience working with African American, Hispanic, and Asian American older adults, and the community organizations that serve them. All are nationally recognized mentors with substantial experience training under-represented minority scholars. The overall aims for this renewal application of the Leadership and Administrative Core (LAC) are to provide governance and administration of the Center, to facilitate the training and development of RCMAR Scientists from underrepresented backgrounds, and to advance the field of minority aging research on AD/ADRD. The LAC will provide essential leadership and structure for this AD-RCMAR and its mentoring, data collection, analysis, intervention, implementation, and dissemination activities, providing coordination and integration across the Cores and Pilot Studies, while maintaining communications with the RCMAR Coordinating Center, other NIA Research Centers, and external funding and oversight entities. The LAC will work closely with the Research Education Component, Community-Liaison and Recruitment Core, and the Analysis Core to accomplish these aims, thereby advancing our understanding of social and behavioral aspects of minority aging to ameliorate disparities relevant to AD/ADRD. The MPI’s (Drs. Thorpe and Gallo) will be responsible for oversight of all Center activities to ensure accountability and responsiveness to evolving scientific opportunities and public health needs, including quality control of research, protection of human research participants, supervision of administrative functions, fiscal oversight, interfacing with the External Advisory Committee, and liaison with grant agencies and officials of Johns Hopkins University and participating Centers and Universities.

阿尔茨海默病 (AD) 是美国 (US) 的一项重大且日益严重的公共卫生危机，并且日益严重 健康差异，非洲裔美国人 (AA) 患 AD 和相关痴呆症 (ADRD) 的风险不成比例 与非西班牙裔白人相比。1, 2 我们力求以跨学科团队的经验为基础 AD/ADRD 相关研究旨在支持多样化的早期职业研究人员和中期职业科学家 过渡到 AD/ADRD 相关研究，开展旨在预防的高质量研究 少数民族老年人的认知和功能下降，并减少 AD/ADRD 的种族差异。师资队伍 本 AD-RCMAR 来自摩根州立大学约翰霍普金斯大学公共卫生、护理和医学院 大学和汉普顿大学，拥有数十年与非裔美国人、西班牙裔美国人、 和亚裔美国老年人，以及为他们服务的社区组织。都是国产的 公认的导师，在培训代表性不足的少数族裔学者方面拥有丰富的经验。总体目标 为此，领导和行政核心 (LAC) 的更新应用程序将提供治理和 该中心的管理，以促进 RCMAR 科学家的培训和发展 代表性不足的背景，并推进少数民族老龄化 AD/ADRD 领域的研究。拉美地区 将为 AD-RCMAR 及其指导、数据收集、分析、 干预、实施和传播活动，提供跨部门的协调和整合 核心和试点研究，同时与 RCMAR 协调中心、其他 NIA 保持沟通 研究中心以及外部资助和监督实体。 LAC将与研究机构密切合作 教育部分、社区联络和招聘核心以及完成这些目标的分析核心 目标，从而增进我们对少数族裔老龄化的社会和行为方面的理解，以改善 与 AD/ADRD 相关的差异。 MPI（索普博士和加洛博士）将负责监督所有 中心活动确保对不断变化的科学机会和公众的责任和响应 健康需求，包括研究质量控制、保护人类研究参与者、监督 行政职能、财政监督、与外部咨询委员会的联系以及与 约翰·霍普金斯大学以及参与中心和大学的资助机构和官员。
