PROJECT SUMMARY - RESEARCH EDUCATION COMPONENT The Northwestern ADRC, and the Mesulam Center within which it operates, have a solid tradition of mentoring and training doctoral candidates, post-doctoral fellows and junior faculty in an interactive multidisciplinary setting that provides research training through immersive activities and breadth of knowledge and skills through a significant array of didactic educational modalities related to aging and AD/ADRD. During the past cycle, the Research Education Component (REC) of the Northwestern ADRC has accrued much experience and provided research education in aging and AD/ADRD to a large number of trainees. In the next cycle, the overall goal of the Northwestern ADRC REC will be to optimize the training of a workforce to meet the nation’s biomedical, behavioral and clinical needs in aging and AD/ADRD. The REC will have a broad mandate that will interact with the activities of all other ADRC components and will be guided by the following goals: 1) Provide cross-disciplinary research education for three research associates and junior faculty per year (REC Scholars) through innovative multidisciplinary mechanisms designed to bridge the gap between clinical and basic research experience in aging and AD/ADRD, with a stipend to provide time for training. 2) Provide research education training for at least two REC Affiliates per year, similar to the training provided to REC Scholars, but without a stipend. 3) Provide immersive research experiences and didactic training for at least five students per year at various levels of education, with concentration on underrepresented minorities, as a means of enhancing the pipeline for the future workforce in AD/ADRD. In keeping with the overall theme of our ADRC, the REC program will emphasize the heterogeneity of brain aging and dementia so that basic scientists are exposed to the complexity of the clinical presentations and translate clinical findings into mechanistic studies, while clinicians appreciate the heterogeneity of the underlying biological phenomena and translate basic findings into clinical research. The REC will be leveraged by the extensive infrastructure of the Northwestern Clinical and Translational Sciences Institute (NUCATS), with an extensive array of programs, including courses in Responsible Conduct of Research (RCR), and the Northwestern University Graduate School, including the Northwestern University Interdepartmental Neuroscience Program (NUIN), and the McGaw Medical Center of Northwestern Feinberg School of Medicine, for diversity recruitment. REC will also organize the curriculum for didactic training modalities and will review the background and career aspirations of trainees in order to ensure that clinicians become exposed to basic research and basic researchers become exposed to clinical realities.

项目摘要 - 研究教育部分 西北 ADRC 及其所在的 Mesulam 中心拥有坚实的指导传统 并以互动的多学科方式培训博士研究生、博士后研究员和初级教师 通过沉浸式活动以及广泛的知识和技能提供研究培训的环境 通过一系列与老龄化和 AD/ADRD 相关的教学方式。过去期间 西北ADRC的研究教育部分（REC）积累了很多经验 并为大量学员提供了老龄化和 AD/ADRD 方面的研究教育。在下一个周期中， 西北 ADRC REC 的总体目标是优化劳动力培训，以满足国家的需求 衰老和 AD/ADRD 的生物医学、行为和临床需求。 REC 将拥有广泛的职责， 与 ADRC 所有其他组成部分的活动互动，并将遵循以下目标： 1) 每年为三名研究员和初级教师提供跨学科研究教育 （REC 学者）通过创新的多学科机制旨在弥合之间的差距 衰老和 AD/ADRD 方面的临床和基础研究经验，并有津贴提供培训时间。 2）每年为至少两名REC Affiliate提供研究教育培训，与培训类似 提供给 REC 学者，但没有津贴。 3）每年为至少五名学生提供身临其境的研究体验和教学培训 教育水平，重点关注代表性不足的少数群体，以此作为提高 AD/ADRD 未来劳动力的管道。 为了与 ADRC 的总体主题保持一致，REC 项目将强调大脑的异质性 衰老和痴呆症，使基础科学家能够了解临床表现的复杂性和 将临床发现转化为机制研究，而临床医生则欣赏这些研究的异质性 潜在的生物现象并将基本发现转化为临床研究。 REC将被杠杆化 通过西北临床和转化科学研究所 (NUCATS) 广泛的基础设施， 拥有广泛的课程，包括负责任的研究行为（RCR）课程，以及 西北大学研究生院，包括西北大学跨院系 神经科学项目 (NUIN) 和西北范伯格医学院麦高医学中心， 以实现多元化招聘。 REC 还将组织教学培训模式的课程，并将审查 受训者的背景和职业抱负，以确保临床医生能够接触到基本知识 研究人员和基础研究人员开始接触临床现实。
