项目摘要

PROJECT SUMMARY Alzheimer's and other dementias are primary causes of disability and dependency in the US, but do not affect all groups equally. African Americans, American Indians/Alaska Natives, and Hispanic/Latino Americans have higher risk of dementia than non-Latino Whites and Asian Americans. Research to understand and ameliorate health disparities should be a public health priority, but historically few aging-related research grant awards relate to health disparities. In response, the NIA created the Health Disparities Research Framework (HDRF), which highlights environmental, sociocultural, behavioral, and biological factors that contribute to disparities in age-related disease. To advance disparities research in dementia specifically, the Alzheimer's Association (AA) will develop and hold two 2-day conferences, occurring in consecutive years (2021-22), for which all keynote, plenary, poster and other presentations will be mapped onto the NIA HDFR. Objectives include: 1) increase collaboration across the scientific community, 2) promote diffusion of new research designs and analytic methods, 3) create information and mentoring bridges between senior and early career investigators, and 4) promote more systematic research via the NIA HDRF. Each 250 in-person and 150 remotely-connected conference will be held in Washington, DC. Conference attendance will be free, and travel and meals will be covered for speakers and conference workgroup members. The AA will cover expenses relating to personnel, conference meals, the professional networking reception, and basic supplies. To meet our objectives, the five aims are: 1) Finalize the scientific program and all logistical details for the conference, via the Conference Workgroup that developed the preliminary program. The Conference Workgroup consists of a diverse group of AA and non-AA experts and is led by Principal Investigator, Dr. Carl V. Hill of AA. 2), Implement the conferences, entitled “Promoting Diverse Perspectives by Addressing Health Disparities Related to Alzheimer's and other Dementias”, consisting of lectures, panels, poster sessions, networking opportunities, and online evaluation of the conferences. 3), Facilitate sustainability of these efforts by hosting two mid-year webinars, highlighting developments in the field. 4), Promote the careers of early investigators via dedicated poster sessions, mentoring/short presentation sessions, and monthly social media, “spotlights.” 5), Disseminate conference findings and promote future research by publishing conference proceedings and special issues in relevant journals featuring research derived from the conferences and webinars. Results will include 1) dissemination of multi-level analyses of determinants of disparities in Alzheimer's and other dementias; 2) new cross-disciplinary fertilization, networking and collaborations in disparities research in dementia; 3) career enhancement for early career investigators and 4) overall advancement of dementia science toward the discovery of new mitigating and treatment approaches for all people.

项目概要阿尔茨海默病和其他痴呆症是美国残疾和依赖的主要原因，但不影响所有群体都平等地拥有非洲裔美国人、美洲印第安人/阿拉斯加原住民以及西班牙裔/拉丁美洲裔美国人。比非拉丁裔白人和亚裔美国人患痴呆症的风险更高。了解和改善的研究。健康差异应成为公共卫生优先事项，但历史上很少有与老龄化相关的研究拨款作为回应，NIA 创建了健康差异研究框架 (HDRF)，其中强调了造成差异的环境、社会文化、行为和生物因素为了推进与年龄相关的疾病的差异研究，阿尔茨海默病协会特别提出了这一建议。（AA）将制定并举办两次为期两天的会议，连续几年（2021-22）举行，所有会议主题演讲、全体会议、海报和其他演示文稿将映射到 NIA HDFR 目标包括：1) 加强整个科学界的合作，2）促进新研究设计的传播和分析方法，3）在高级和早期职业调查人员之间建立信息和指导桥梁， 4) 通过 NIA HDRF 促进更系统的研究，每人 250 人，150 人远程连接。会议将在华盛顿特区举行，会议出席将免费，并且提供交通和餐食。 AA 将承担与人员相关的费用，会议餐食、专业的社交接待和基本用品为了实现我们的目标，有五个。目标是： 1) 通过会议最终确定会议的科学计划和所有后勤细节制定初步计划的工作组会议工作组由不同的小组组成。 AA 和非 AA 专家，由 AA 的首席研究员 Carl V. Hill 博士领导。 2) 实施题为“通过解决与阿尔茨海默病相关的健康差异来促进多元化观点”的会议和其他痴呆症”，包括讲座、小组讨论、海报会议、交流机会和在线 3)、通过举办两次年中网络研讨会促进这些努力的可持续性， 4)、通过专门的海报促进早期研究者的职业生涯。会议、指导/简短演示会议和每月社交媒体“聚焦”5)、传播会议成果并通过出版会议论文集和特别问题来促进未来的研究以会议和网络研讨会的研究成果为特色的相关期刊结果将包括 1)。传播阿尔茨海默病和其他痴呆症差异决定因素的多层次分析；2) 新的痴呆症差异研究的跨学科融合、网络和合作 3) 职业生涯；增强早期职业研究者的能力，以及 4) 痴呆症科学的整体进步为所有人发现新的缓解和治疗方法。
