Networking and Mentoring Core

网络和指导核心(核心E)的总体目标是支持活动 旨在促进Aging和AD试点获奖者的网络和指导 项目，所有这些项目都投资于人工智能(AI)方法和技术 老年人，包括阿尔茨海默病或相关痴呆症患者(AD/ADRD)。 网络包括旨在将科学家/研究人员、实业家、 风险投资公司和NIA小型企业办公室，跨学科和机构，以 开发方法、技术和/或研究基础设施。网络的功能 指导核心是提供基础设施和支持，以便试点获奖者发展 一个由导师、同事和潜在合作者组成的网络，然后催化他们的发展 人工智能方法和技术，然后可以融入到产品中，以改善健康， 老年美国人和AD/ADRD患者的健康和安全。因为AI方法和 技术跨越多个学科和行业，有机会构建大型、 协作网络非同寻常。此外，多样性已经得到了很好的证实 推动创新，从而将这一富有、多样化的个人社区聚集在一起 人工智能和技术将导致独特的想法和创新的出现。我们不仅会 为这个社区培育协作和网络机会，但我们也将创造 指导下一代科学家和技术专家的基础设施和活动 专注于阿尔茨海默病和相关痴呆的人工智能方法、工具和技术。 网络和指导核心将由Marylyn Ritchie博士领导，她拥有重要的 拥有领先的研究支持核心、机构计划和国家协作经验 网络协调中心和工作组。此外，在她目前在大学的角色中 她是宾夕法尼亚州翻译生物信息学中心的负责人，担任副主任 在宾夕法尼亚大学精密医学中心担任生物信息学副主任 在生物医学信息学研究所(杰森·摩尔博士是该研究所所长)。使用 这些资格，她处于有利的地位，领导这一核心，并利用她的地方和国家 网络成功地执行了这一核心的具体目标。

The overarching goal of the Networking and Mentoring Core (Core E) is to support activities intended to facilitate networking and mentoring for the awardees of the Aging and AD pilot projects, all of whom are invested in Artificial Intelligence (AI) approaches and technology for aging adults, including those with Alzheimer’s disease or related dementias (AD/ADRD). Networking includes all activities designed to bring together scientists/researchers, industrialists, venture capital firms, and the NIA Small Business Office, across disciplines and institutions, to develop approaches, technology, and/or research infrastructure. The function of the Networking and Mentoring Core is to provide the infrastructure and support so that the pilot awardees develop a network of mentors, peers, and potential collaborators to then catalyze the development of their AI approaches and technologies that can then be incorporated into products to improve the health, wellness, and safety of aging Americans and those with AD/ADRD. Because AI methods and technologies cut across multiple disciplines and industries, the opportunity to build large, collaborative networks is extraordinary. In addition, it has been well established that diversity drives innovation, thus, bringing together this rich, varied community of individuals interested in AI and technology will lead to the emergence of unique ideas and innovations. Not only will we foster collaborative and networking opportunities for this community, but also, we will create infrastructure and activities for mentoring the next generation of scientists and technologists focused on AI methods, tools, and technologies for Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias. The Networking and Mentoring Core will be led by Dr. Marylyn Ritchie who has significant experience leading research support cores, institutional initiatives, and national collaborative network coordinating centers and workgroups. Furthermore, in her current role at the University of Pennsylvania, she leads a Center for Translational Bioinformatics, serves as Associate Director for the Penn Center for Precision Medicine, and serves as Associate Director for Bioinformatics in the Institute for Biomedical Informatics (where Dr. Jason Moore (MPI) is the Director). With these qualifications, she is well positioned to lead this core and leverage her local and national network to successfully execute the specific aims for this core.
