Research Education Component

抽象研究教育组成部分 阿尔茨海默病及相关疾病(ADRD)的有效研究需要跨学科整合 翻译领域的知识和专业知识。MADRC研究型教育的目标 组成部分(MADRC-REC)是为了促进新一代多样化调查人员的出现 特定领域的专业知识，多学科的ADRD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 为即将进入ADRD的职业生涯早期研究人员提供机构间强化指导计划的典范 研究。为了补充我们的区域指导计划，MADRC-REC开发了一个在线课程 就ADRD的关键方面对早期职业研究人员进行广泛的教育。在上一个周期中，非常多样化的 MADRC-REC的学员在职业生涯中取得了很好的进步。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人员 进入ADRD研究；2)提高早期职业调查员的研究技能；3)增加研究的多样性 ADRD研究社区；4)提供重要职业技能的实践培训；5)实施证书 在ADRD研究领域授予大规模在线公开课(MOOC)；以及6)评估我们的 教学和辅导活动。在下一个周期中，MADRC-REC将利用 MADRC核心，大量合格的早期职业调查人员，大量有能力的导师， 和补充我们三所大学的职业发展资源，以扩大我们的院校间 增强的辅导计划。我们将深化与其他NIA赞助的联合辅导活动 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阿尔茨海默氏症相关因素研究 疾病。MADRC-REC方案的机构间性质增加了联系和合作 在我们三所大学的ADRD研究社区，并加强我们对下一代的指导 一代专注于ADRD的科学家和临床医生科学家。

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.
