Leadership and Administrative Core

摘要 亚太裔美国人阿尔茨海默氏症和痴呆症研究资源中心（RCASIA） 其任务是：1）增加在AD/ADRD相关行为，社会和 通过指导和社区互动的创新模式进行生物医学研究; 2)通过通用数据元素，在较老的APA中提高AD/ADRD试点研究的严谨性和影响力 3）作为经过语言/文化测试和验证的工具的国家资源， 评估阿帕人群的认知、功能和AD/ADRD治疗。领导和行政核心 (LAC)- 由前传统RCMAR MPI William Hu，MD，PhD（联系PI）和Bei Wu，PhD领导-将 监督所有行政工作，包括与NIA、RCMAR协调部门的沟通和协调 中心和附属机构（包括NIH资助的阿帕健康相关中心和阿尔茨海默病中心） 研究中心）。LAC将及时建立分包合同并支付与科学家相关的费用 试点项目;确保每个项目坚持行为，社会和经济领域， 人，文化，地点和时间的主题;召开执行委员会和外部咨询 委员会;审查共同数据要素和数据共享做法的执行情况;征聘前 RCMAR/RCASIA科学家作为Pod的顾问;并与REC，Cores和EAC合作进行评估 - 新型Pod/Team指导模式的有效性。法援会将继续建立长远的 与RCASIA母公司/附属机构的关系，合作伙伴研究（新泽西人口队列研究， Rutgers-Stanford中国老年人研究，计划的新泽西队列动脉粥样硬化的调解人 生活在美国的南亚人），导师和EAC。最后，LAC将监测教职员工，导师，学员， 和其他工作关系，以提供第一级冲突解决方案;提请执行委员会和东非共同体注意 与科学家或RCASIA计划相关的挑战;并修改Pod/Team和其他计划设计 根据需要与执行委员会、EAC和NIA协商。

ABSTRACT The Resource Center for Alzheimer’s and Dementia Research in Asian and Pacific Americans (RCASIA) has missions of 1) increasing scientists underrepresented in AD/ADRD-related Behavioral, Social, and Economic Research biomedical research through innovative models of mentoring and community interaction; 2) advancing the rigor and impact of AD/ADRD pilot studies in older APAs through Common Data Elements and data-sharing; 3) serving as a national resource for linguistically/culturally tested and validated tools to assess cognition, function, and AD/ADRD care in APA populations. The Leadership and Administrative Core (LAC) – led by former traditional RCMAR MPIs William Hu, MD, PhD (contact PI) and Bei Wu, PhD – will oversee all administrative tasks including communication and coordination with NIA, RCMAR Coordinating Centers, and affiliated institutions (including NIH-funded APA health-related centers and Alzheimer’s Disease Research Centers). The LAC will provide timely set-up of subcontracts and payments associated with Scientist pilot projects; ensure that each project adheres to the Behavioral, Social, and Economic domains and the theme of People, Culture, Place, and Time; convene the Executive Committee and the External Advisory Committee; review the implementation of Common Data Elements and data-sharing practices; recruit former RCMAR/RCASIA Scientists as consultants in Pods; and evaluate – in collaboration with REC, Cores, and EAC – the effectiveness of the novel Pod/Team mentoring model. The LAC will continue to build long-lasting relationships with RCASIA parent/affiliated institutions, partner studies (New Jersey Population Cohort Study, Rutgers-Stanford Chinese Older Adult Study, planned New Jersey cohort for Mediators of Atherosclerosis of South Asians living in America), mentors, and EAC. Finally, the LAC will monitor faculty-staff, mentor-mentee, and other working relationships to provide first level conflict resolution; bring to the attention of ExC and EAC challenges related to Scientists or RCASIA programs; and revise Pod/Team and other programmatic designs as needed in consultation with ExC, EAC, and NIA.
