Research Education Component

项目概要/摘要-研究教育核心（REC） 随着美国老年人人口的持续快速增长， 由于疾病的多样性，迫切需要更好地了解如何改善及时诊断和文化反应， 老年痴呆症和相关痴呆症患者及其家庭护理人员的护理。尽管 人口的日益多样化以及痴呆症发病率和患病率的差异， 有关这些差距的原因和消除的知识仍然存在。此外，科学家的数量 来自历史上代表性不足的群体，他们可能对这些问题的原因和治疗方法有特殊的见解。 差距仍然有限。因此，加州大学戴维斯分校阿尔茨海默病研究中心（ADRC） 教育部分（REC）是为研究教育开发新的创新机会， 培训下一代科学家，他们将利用现有的和不断扩大的资源， ADRC通过以下方式实现NAPA的目标，有效治疗阿尔茨海默病和相关疾病 2025年REC通过利用和扩大研究教育来支持ADRC的使命 初级调查员的机会，重点是从历史上招募个人 代表性不足的群体。有一个新的，创造性的，多样化的初级调查人员的强烈需求，以解决 不同人群中认知障碍的多样性和复杂性。为此， REC将（1）从不同的个人和组织中推广、招募和聘用初级调查员， 专业背景谁将进行阿尔茨海默病相关的研究;（2）开发和 支持为反倾销领域的各种初级调查人员制定量身定制的指导和培训计划， 特别注重加强和多样化的研究队伍;（3）监测和 评估受训人员的研究、培训和职业发展进展。 加州大学戴维斯分校阿尔茨海默病研究中心有广泛的指导和研究教育 包括研究生、博士后研究员和对阿尔茨海默氏症感兴趣的初级教师的记录 疾病相关的研究。我们将继续与REC领导人一起建立这一基础设施。Oanh Meyer 查尔斯·德卡利博士以及训练监督委员会REC将利用现有资源 以及来自地方和国家计划的专业知识，为未来领导者的研究教育做出贡献， 阿尔茨海默病相关研究。REC还将利用加州大学戴维斯分校的丰富多样性， 通过科学多元文化视角促进中心等项目， 招募任职人数不足的群体。REC计划教师和附属机构的跨学科专业知识 将确保招募多样化和有前途的受训人员，他们将进入ADRD科学工作队伍。

PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT - Research Education Core (REC) As the population of older adults in the US continues to rapidly grow and become more racially/ethnically diverse, there is an urgent need to better understand how to improve timely diagnosis and culturally responsive care of individuals with Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias and their family caregivers. Despite the growing diversity of the population and differences in dementia incidence and prevalence, gaps in scientific knowledge related to the cause and elimination of these disparities remain. In addition, the number of scientists from historically underrepresented groups who may have special insight into the cause and cure of these disparities remains limited. Therefore, the goal of the UC Davis Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center (ADRC) Education Component (REC) is to develop new and innovative opportunities for research education and training of the next generation of scientists who will harness the currently available and expanding resources of the ADRC to address the goals of NAPA to effectively treat Alzheimer’s disease and associated disorders by 2025 . The REC supports the mission of the ADRC by capitalizing on and expanding the research education opportunities of junior investigators, with an emphasis on recruiting individuals from historically underrepresented groups. There is a strong need for new, creative, and diverse junior investigators to address the diversity and complexity of cognitive impairment in diverse populations. Towards this end, the goals of the REC are to (1) Outreach, recruit and engage junior investigators from diverse personal and professional backgrounds who will conduct Alzheimer’s disease-related research; (2) Develop and support a tailored mentoring and training plan for diverse junior investigators in the area of AD, with a particular focus on strengthening and diversifying the research workforce; and (3) Monitor and evaluate research, training and career development progress of trainees. The UC Davis Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center has an extensive mentoring and research education record that includes graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and junior faculty with interests in Alzheimer’s disease-related research. We will continue to build on this infrastructure with REC leaders –Dr. Oanh Meyer and Dr. Charles DeCarli, as well as the Training Oversight Committee. REC will leverage existing resources and expertise from local and national programs to contribute to the research education of future leaders in Alzheimer’s disease-related research. REC also will capitalize on the rich diversity of UC Davis and connect with programs such as the Center for the Advancement of Multicultural Perspectives on Science to ensure recruitment of underrepresented groups. The interdisciplinary expertise of REC program faculty and affiliates will ensure the recruitment of diverse and promising trainees who will enter the ADRD scientific workforce.
