Research Education Component

研究教育部分(REC)的总体目标是继续提供谨慎的 有组织的课程和全面而创新的指导，使未成年人的职业生涯经久不衰 在阿尔茨海默病(AD)和AD相关痴呆(ADRD)研究中代表研究人员，重点是 卫生公平和对社会因素、卫生系统因素和整个生活中的结构性种族主义的考虑 当然了。我们的续订申请支持指导JHAD-RCMAR科学家的研究，包括 痴呆症的流行病学和针对不同疾病的新干预措施的开发、测试和实施 少数群体老年人和护理提供者，以加强健康和功能。指导关系包括 职业生涯初期的研究人员和/或职业生涯中期的科学家刚刚过渡到AD/ADRD研究，重点是 少数群体老龄化。REC利用关注健康的基础设施和先进的指导实践 约翰·霍普金斯大学内部和整个地区的差异和健康公平、认知能力下降、AD/ADRD以及少数族裔老龄化 中心，以及摩根州立大学和汉普顿大学的相关教员和资源。我们定好了 制定一项计划，以确保成功地指导并与寻求职业生涯的不同研究人员合作 AD-RCMAR的重点领域：增强和维持认知健康和功能的新方法 并降低少数族裔老年人患AD/ADRD痴呆症的风险。我们的REC是为了指导贾德- RCMAR科学家成功地开发和实施试点项目，包括结构化的 为RCMAR科学家提供纵向指导，这将支持由NIA资助的独立研究事业 重点关注老年人，特别是少数族裔老年人的健康差距和AD/ADRD研究。 REC还将开发和维护一个促进和跟踪科学家从 通过与国家协调机构合作，对独立调查人员进行试点，并对区域经济委员会进行评估 中心，并参与年度报告程序。为了实现具体目标，区域经济共同体将 维持必要的基础设施，以招募、发展和支持代表性不足的少数族裔调查员。 这通过建立一支新的研究人员队伍的能力来产生更多样化的生物医学劳动力 代表不足的背景，致力于专注于健康差距和 与AD/ADRD相关的少数民族老龄化研究。这一目标将在很大程度上通过培养尖端人才来实现 将导致更好地了解AD/ADRD和AD/ADRD之间的健康差异的试点研究 代表性不足的群体的人口。

The overarching objective of the Research Education Component (REC) is to continue to provide a carefully structured curriculum and comprehensive and innovative mentoring leading to enduring careers of under- represented investigators in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and AD-related dementias (ADRD) research focusing on health equity and consideration of social factors, health system factors, and structural racism across the life course. Our renewal application supports mentoring JHAD-RCMAR Scientists’ research encompassing the epidemiology of dementia and development, testing, and implementation of novel interventions for diverse minority older adults and care providers to enhance health and functioning. Mentoring relationships include early-career researchers and/or mid-career scientists newly transitioning into AD/ADRD research focusing on minority aging. The REC leverages infrastructure and advanced mentoring practices that focus on health disparities and health equity, cognitive decline, AD/ADRD, and minority aging within and across Johns Hopkins centers, as well as relevant faculty and resources at Morgan State University and Hampton University. We set out a plan to assure successful mentoring of, and collaboration with, diverse researchers pursuing careers in the focused area of this AD-RCMAR: novel approaches to enhance and maintain cognitive health and function and reduce AD/ADRD dementia risk among minority older adults. Our REC is structured to mentor JHAD- RCMAR Scientists to be successful with developing and carrying out pilot projects and includes structured longitudinal mentorship for RCMAR Scientists, which will support independent, NIA-funded research careers focused on health disparities and AD/ADRD research among older adults, particularly minority older adults. The REC will also develop and maintain a process for facilitating and tracking the evolution of scientists from pilot to independent investigators, and evaluation of the REC, by collaborating with the National Coordinating Center and participating in an annual reporting procedure. To accomplish the specific aims, the REC will maintain the infrastructure necessary to recruit, develop, and support under-represented minority investigators. This yields a more diverse biomedical workforce by building the capacity of a cadre of new investigators from under-represented backgrounds who are committed to a research portfolio focused on health disparities and minority aging research as it relates to AD/ADRD. This goal will be largely achieved by cultivating cutting edge pilot studies that will lead to a greater understanding of health disparities in AD/ADRD, and AD/ADRD among populations of under-represented groups.
