摘要-研究教育部分 阿尔茨海默病及相关疾病（ADRD）的有效研究需要跨学科整合， 跨翻译领域的知识和专业知识。MADRC研究教育的目标 组成部分（MADRC-REC）的目的是培养新一代多样化的调查人员， 特定领域的专业知识，ADRD的多学科知识，以及跨学科的方向 工作利用我们三所大学的资源和MADRC核心，MADRC-REC开发了一个 为进入ADRD的早期职业调查人员提供示范机构间增强型辅导计划 research.为了补充我们的区域指导计划，MADRC-REC开发了一个在线课程， 对早期职业调查人员进行ADRD关键方面的广泛教育。在上一个周期， MADRC-REC学员取得了出色的职业发展。MADRC-REC课程被广泛使用。在 下一个周期，MADRC-REC将在现有优势的基础上：1）招募有才华的早期职业调查员 ADRD研究; 2）提高早期职业调查员的研究技能; 3）增加 ADRD研究社区; 4）提供重要职业技能的实践培训; 5）颁发证书 授予关于ADRD研究范围的大规模在线开放课程（MOOC）;以及6）评估我们的 教学和辅导活动。在下一个周期，该区域中心将利用 MADRC核心，大量合格的早期职业调查员，大量有能力的导师， 和互补的职业发展资源，我们的三所大学，以扩大我们的跨机构 强化辅导计划我们将深化与其他NIA赞助的联合指导活动 密歇根大学克劳德·佩珀老年美国独立中心、密歇根大学 城市非裔美国人老龄化研究和密歇根州阿尔茨海默氏症背景因素中心 疾病MADRC-REC计划的机构间性质增加了联系和合作 在我们三所大学的ADRD研究界，并加强我们对下一个 一代关注ADRD的科学家和临床科学家。

ABSTRACT – RESEARCH EDUCATION COMPONENT Effective research in Alzheimer’s disease and related disorders (ADRD) requires interdisciplinary integration of knowledge and expertise across the translational spectrum. The goal of the MADRC Research Education Component (MADRC-REC) is to foster the emergence of a new and diverse generation of investigators with domain-specific expertise, multi-disciplinary knowledge of ADRD, and orientation towards interdisciplinary work. Utilizing the resources of our three universities and the MADRC Cores, the MADRC-REC developed a model inter-institutional enhanced mentoring program for early-career investigators who were entering ADRD research. To complement our regional mentoring program, the MADRC-REC developed an on-line curriculum to broadly educate early-career investigators about key aspects of ADRD. Over the last cycle, the very diverse MADRC-REC mentees made excellent career progress. The MADRC-REC curriculum is widely used. In the next cycle, the MADRC-REC will build on existing strengths to: 1) Recruit talented early-career investigators into ADRD research; 2) Enhance early-career investigator research skills; 3) Increase the diversity of the ADRD research community; 4) Provide practical training in important career skills; 5) Implement a certificate granting Massive Online Open Course (MOOC) on the spectrum of ADRD research; and 6) Evaluate our teaching and mentoring activities. In the next cycle, the MADRC-REC will draw on the resources of the MADRC Cores, the large pool of eligible early-career investigators, exceptional number of capable mentors, and complementary career development resources of our three universities to expand our inter-institutional enhanced mentoring program. We will deepen our joint mentoring activities with other NIA sponsored programs such as the U-M Claude Pepper Older American Independence Center, the Michigan Center for Urban African American Aging Research, and the Michigan Center for Contextual Factors in Alzheimer’s Disease. The inter-institutional nature of the MADRC-REC program increases linkages and collaborations across the ADRD research community at our three universities, and enhances our mentoring of the next generation of ADRD-focused scientists and clinician-scientists.
