摘要：研究教育部分 圣地亚哥资源中心研究教育部分（REC）的总体目标是 推进少数族裔老年人阿尔茨海默病研究（SDRC-ARMS）是为了支持指导和研究 拉丁裔和其他代表性不足的科学家的教育，他们的研究重点是阐明 生物，行为，社会文化和环境因素在拉丁美洲的病因和结果 阿尔茨海默病及相关痴呆症（ADRD）。 REC的目标是：1）发展博士后和初级教师研究人员的职业生涯，以及中期， 职业教师研究人员新的ADRD，从拉丁美洲和其他代表性不足的背景，谁有 表现出杰出的研究潜力和研究兴趣，重点是了解因素， 影响ADRD的病因和结局; 2）提供指导、教育、职业发展活动 以及广泛的教育和基础设施资源，使AD-RCMAR科学家能够提高 他们在拉丁美洲ADRD研究和研究方法的专业知识，成功完成他们的研究，目前 并发表他们的工作，获得独立的研究和/或职业发展资金。 SDRC-ARMS将由四名首席研究员（PI）领导，每个校区两名：摩尔博士（UCSD- 老年医学），冈萨雷斯（UCSD神经科学），吉尔伯特（SDSU心理学）和老年人（SDSU/UCSD公共 健康）。这四个PI具有互补的技能，并合作使用 团队科学模型SDRC-ARMS包括三个核心：行政，研究教育和 分析.我们的意图是SDRC-ARMS及其核心由不同的研究人员组成 在机构隶属关系、学科以及研究和培训技能方面。这种多样性将 提高SDRC-ARMS在发展多样化劳动力方面的有效性， 拉丁裔ADRD。

ABSTRACT: RESEARCH EDUCATION COMPONENT The overarching goal of the Research Education Component (REC) for the San Diego Resource Center for advancing Alzheimer’s Research in Minority Elders (SDRC-ARMS) is to support mentoring and research education of Latino and other underrepresented scientists whose research is focused on illuminating the role of biological, behavioral, sociocultural and environmental factors in the etiology and outcomes of Latino Alzheimer’s Disease and Related Dementias (ADRD). The REC goals are to: 1) Develop the careers of postdoctoral and junior faculty researchers, as well as mid- career faculty researchers new to ADRD, from Latino and other underrepresented backgrounds, who have demonstrated outstanding research potential and an interest in research focused on understanding factors that affect etiology and outcomes in ADRD; and 2) Provide mentorship, education, career development activities and a broad array of educational and infrastructural resources to enable AD-RCMAR Scientists to enhance their expertise in Latino ADRD research and research methods, successfully complete their research, present and publish their work and attain independent research and/ or career development funding. The SDRC-ARMS will be led by four Principal Investigators (PI), two at each campus: Dr. Moore (UCSD- Geriatrics), González (UCSD-Neurosciences), Gilbert (SDSU-Psychology) and Elder (SDSU/UCSD-Public Health). The four PIs have complementary skills and have collaborated to develop this application using the team science model. The SDRC-ARMS includes three cores: Administrative, Research Education, and Analysis. It is our intention that the SDRC-ARMS and its Cores be composed of investigators who are diverse with respect to their institutional affiliations, disciplines, and research and training skills. This diversity will increase the SDRC-ARMS‘ effectiveness in developing a diverse workforce that can promote advances in Latino ADRD.
