Michigan Center for Contextual Factors in Alzheimer's Disease (MCCFAD) aims to foster and enhance innovative research in Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD) with the long term goals to 1) advance ADRD-relevant social and behavioral science research in underserved and underrepresented communities while; 2) diversify the research workforce dedicated to healthy aging. This center will build on the existing deep infrastructure and research strengths in dementia and aging research at the University of Michigan (UM). The MCCFAD will emphasize research in three priority areas of: epidemiology, health economics, and culturally sensitive care. The rationale for these three areas is directly related to the current lack of a comprehensive understanding of the contextual complexities inherent in ADRD disparities, the need to enhance diversity in the professional research workforce addressing the brain and cognitive health of older adults, as well as dynamic changes in the demographic and multi-cultural composition of the U.S. population. The MCCFAD will promote diversifying the research workforce dedicated to healthy aging through collaborations with other NIA-sponsored Centers and programs and via connections with R1, R2 and R3 universities in Michigan. The Center will focus on the contexts in which ADRD is experienced. Knowledge concerning the contexts of ADRD is quite limited but has been shown to be critical for elucidating sociocultural, economic and behavioral contributors to and consequences of health disparities generally and ADRD disparities specifically. The Center's four Cores are: Administrative (AC), Research and Education (REC), Analytic (AnC), Community Liaison and Recruitment (CLRC) with the following specific aims: Aim 1: Advance ADRD-relevant disparities research in epidemiology, health economics, and culturally-sensitive care; Aim 2: Recruit and mentor 15 AD-RCMAR Scientists (RS) from the pilot-study investigator stage through professional publications and independent research applications and funding; Aim 3: Connect with African American, Arab American and Latino communities to broaden understanding of intra- and inter-cultural factors affecting participation in ADRD research. The Center profits from the groundbreaking, successful work of their extensive network of experienced mentors and experts. These resources, along with planned structure and activities will ensure that, upon receiving NIA designation as an AD-RCMAR, the MCCFAD will have a significant impact in diversifying the research workforce dedicated to healthy aging while enhancing research to better understand AD and related forms of dementia across various contexts.

密歇根州阿尔茨海默氏病（MCCFAD）的情境因素中心旨在促进和 加强对阿尔茨海默氏病和相关痴呆症（ADRD）的创新研究 长期目标到1）促进与Adrd相关的社会和行为科学研究 服务不足和代表性不足的社区； 2）多样化研究人员 致力于健康衰老。该中心将建立在现有的深基础架构上， 密歇根大学（UM）的痴呆和衰老研究的研究长处。这 MCCFAD将在：流行病学，健康经济学， 和文化敏感的护理。这三个领域的基本原理与当前 缺乏对ADRD固有的上下文复杂性的全面理解 差异，需要提高专业研究人员多样性的需求，以解决 老年人的大脑和认知健康，以及人口统计学的动态变化 美国人口的多元文化组成。 MCCFAD将促进多元化 通过与其他NIA赞助的合作，致力于健康衰老的研究人员 中心和计划，并通过与密歇根州的R1，R2和R3大学的联系。这 中心将重点放在ADRD经历的环境上。有关的知识 ADRD的环境非常有限，但已被证明对于阐明社会文化至关重要， 一般对健康差异的经济和行为贡献者和后果 特别是ADRD差异。该中心的四个核心是：行政（AC），研究和 教育（REC），分析（ANC），社区联络和招聘（CLRC） 以下具体目的：目标1：推进流行病学相关的差异研究， 卫生经济学和对文化敏感的护理；目标2：招募和导师15 AD-RCMAR 从专业出版物和 独立的研究申请和资金；目标3：与非裔美国人，阿拉伯人建立联系 美国和拉丁裔社区扩大对内部和文化间因素的理解 影响参与ADRD研究。开创性的中心利润， 他们广泛的经验丰富的导师和专家网络的成功工作。这些 资源以及计划的结构和活动将确保收到NIA后 MCCFAD称为AD-RCMAR，将对多样化产生重大影响 研究工作人员致力于健康衰老，同时增强研究以更好地了解 广告及相关形式的痴呆症在各种情况下。
