CORE--EDUCATION AND INFORMATION TRANSFER

教育和信息传输核心(EITC)活动旨在支持ADRC与患者、他们的照顾者和专业社区的重要联系和拓展，并与阿尔茨海默氏症协会地方分会、联邦、州和地方机构支持的阿尔茨海默氏症项目建立合作，加强对AD和相关疾病的临床护理和研究。在之前的拨款申请中，EITC已经(并实现)了四个目标： 1.建立、提供和完善有关阿尔茨海默病和相关障碍的专业教育计划。 2.建立、提供和完善有关阿尔茨海默病及相关障碍的公共教育计划。 3.开发、传播和评估关于阿尔茨海默病和相关障碍的培训材料。 4.对服务不足的人群实施、传播和评估培训方案。 对于目前的赠款申请，我们正在将这些目标合并为三个目标，以与最近的RFA保持一致。因此，就目前的赠款申请而言，我们现在的目标是： 1.带头开展有效的外联计划，宣传红十字国际委员会，教育家庭和 照顾者(原目标2和3)； 2.支持专业人员在以下方面的临床和研究技能方面的创新发展 阿尔茨海默病和其他痴呆症(原目标1和3)； 3.帮助招募和留住特定研究方案和临床试验的受试者，特别重视少数群体和其他服务不足的人群(新目标)。

The Education and Information Transfer Core (EITC) activities are intended to support an important liaison and outreach from the ADRC to patients, their caregivers and the professional community as well, as establish collaborations with the Alzheimer's Association local chapters, Federal, State and Local agency-supported Alzheimer's programs enhancing clinical care and research into AD and related disorders. In prior grant applications, the EITC has had (and achieved) four aims: 1. Establish, provide, and refine professional, educational programs on AD and related disorders. 2. Establish, provide, and refine public educational programs on AD and related disorders. 3. Develop, disseminate, and evaluate training materials on AD and related disorders. 4. Implement, disseminate, and evaluate training programs to under-served populations. For the current grant application, we are consolidating these aims into three to be consistent with the most recent RFA. Consequently, for the current grant application, our aims are now: 1. Spearhead effective outreach programs that will publicize the ADRC and educate families and caregivers, (original aim 2 and 3); 2. Support innovative development of professional staff on clinical and research skills related to Alzheimer's Disease and other dementias (original aim 1 and 3), and; 3. Help recruit and retain subjects for particular research protocols and clinical trials, with special emphasis on minorities and other underserved populations (new aim).
