Analysis Core

分析核心(ANC)将在密歇根中心的活动和生产力中发挥关键作用 阿尔茨海默病的环境因素(MCCFAD)。支持麦克法德的三个优先领域： 流行病学、卫生经济学和文化敏感护理，以及推进ADRD的长期目标- 在服务不足和代表性不足的社区进行相关的社会和行为科学研究，而 使致力于健康老龄化的研究队伍多样化，非国大将确保尽可能产生最大的影响 我们中心的研究和发现。具体地说，非国大将确保文化敏感性和科学性 有效的认知、功能和心理社会测量方法；以及(2)监督方法和分析 AD-RCMAR科学家的主要和次要数据。对文化差异的方法论敏感性 认知测验和ADRD的经验对于ADRD的有效和可靠的调查至关重要 差距。在与其他核心的合作下，非国大将把AD-RCMAR科学家与适当的数据联系起来 在最先进的研究方法中设置和指导。ANC注重使用尖端的分析和数据 可视化技术以及多个不同的种族/民族群体将导致显著的 对外地的贡献，包括开发和传播：新的和评价现有的 认知、功能和心理社会测量；检查和交流的分析和可视化代码 集团内的可变性；生成登记处参与方反馈报告的自动化代码和模板；以及 以方法为重点的出版物，详细说明为确保措施的文化敏感性和有效性而采取的步骤。 与这些重要领域相对应，非国大提出了三个具体目标：目标1：提供 丰富的环境，以确保文化上敏感和科学上有效的测量方法；目标2： 强调用最先进的方法和分析进行指导：以人和变量为中心的方法；目标 3：传播关于新的方法学发展、测量方法、 产生了新的数据资源。非国大将确保深思熟虑和彻底的方法方法 并在全中心和AD-RCMAR科学家项目的每个阶段提供咨询。此外，他们还 将与研究和教育核心(REC)以及社区联络和招聘核心密切合作 (CLRC)协助、指导和支持AD-RCMAR科学家成为ADRD的独立调查人员- 通过提供丰富的学习环境，提高他们的分析和研究技能，进行相关研究。 凭借我们多学科和经验丰富的非国大领导团队和中心教师，非国大 装备异常精良，确保MCCFAD为创新的ADRD做出开创性贡献 在整个地区和全国范围内研究差异。

The Analysis Core (AnC) will play a critical role in the activities and productivity of the Michigan Center for Contextual Factors in Alzheimer's Disease (MCCFAD). Supporting MCFADD's three priority areas of: epidemiology, health economics, and culturally sensitive care as well as the long-term goal to advance ADRD- relevant social and behavioral science research in underserved and underrepresented communities while diversifying the research workforce dedicated to healthy aging, the AnC will ensure the highest possible impact of our Center's research and discoveries. Specifically, the AnC will ensure culturally sensitive and scientifically valid cognitive, functional, and psychosocial measurement approaches; and (2) oversee methods and analysis of both primary and secondary data for AD-RCMAR Scientists. Methodological sensitivity to cultural differences in cognitive testing and in the experience of ADRD is critical for valid and reliable investigations in ADRD disparities. In collaboration with the other cores, the AnC will link AD-RCMAR Scientists to appropriate data sets and mentor in state-of-the-art research methods. AnC focus on the use of cutting-edge analytic and data visualization techniques, as well as multiple and diverse racial/ethnic groups will lead to significant contributions to the field including the development and dissemination of: new and evaluation of existing cognitive, functional, and psychosocial measures; analytic and visualization code to examine and communicate within-group variability; automation code and templates to generate registry participant feedback reports; and methodological focused publications detailing steps used to ensure cultural sensitivity and validity of measures. Corresponding to these areas of importance, the AnC proposes three Specific Aims: Aim 1: Provide an enriched environment to ensure culturally sensitive and scientifically valid measurement approaches; Aim 2: Emphasize mentoring in state-of-the-art methods and analysis: person and variable centered approaches; Aim 3: Disseminate scientific information regarding novel methodological developments, measurement approaches, and new data resources produced. The AnC will ensure thoughtful and thorough methodological approaches and provide consultations at every stage of Center-wide and AD-RCMAR Scientist projects. Moreover, they will work closely with the Research and Education Core (REC) and Community Liaison and Recruitment Core (CLRC) to assist, mentor and support AD-RCMAR Scientists to become independent investigators in ADRD- related research by providing an enriched learning environment to increase their analytic and research skills. With our multi-disciplinary and highly experienced AnC leadership team and Center faculty, the AnC is exceptionally well-equipped to ensure that the MCCFAD makes seminal contributions to innovative ADRD disparities research across the region and nationally.
