PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT This is a T32 training grant from the University of Kansas Alzheimer's Disease Research Center (KU ADRC) to train the next generation of researchers in Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD). The KU ADRC was funded in 2011 and is one of 33 national research centers with unique thematic expertise in mitochondria / bioenergetics, lifestyle modification, and AD prevention research. The KU ADRC research base has grown dramatically in the last decade and there is now a clear need to grow its research training programs to accelerate the research efforts and create the next generation of ADRD researchers. The proposed T32 program will provide multidisciplinary, translational ADRD research training for 2 predoctoral, 2 postdoctoral, and 4 summer students. Program faculty include 23 Primary Preceptors who are uniquely qualified to support full-time (pre- and postdoctoral trainees) and summer trainees and 19 Short-Term Preceptors who are eligible to support summer students. The 42 faculty come from 18 departments and include basic, translational, and clinical investigators who all have a history of collaboration with each other and the ADRC. We have a large and growing pool of training grant eligible trainees who are attracted by the diverse and growing portfolio of NIH funded research. Our training approach includes a dual mentorship plan (i.e., basic and clinical mentors) for full-time trainees that is structured as an Individual Development Plan to encourage multidisciplinary and translational approaches. The program is designed to provide the skills needed to develop an independent research career in ADRD research through 4 objectives: 1) provide a broad ADRD foundation with exposure to diverse research approaches (basic, clinical, and translational) and clinical care (patients and caregivers), 2) develop ADRD research skills (basic, clinical, and translational), 3) develop multidisciplinary research skills to foster collaborations among trainees and mentors, and 4) develop presentation and grant-writing skills. The summer training program is designed to expose clinical students to ADRD research and clinical care to foster interest in careers in ADRD research. The training program leverages institutional resources and the KU ADRC's research strengths to create a developmental pathway for the next generation of ADRD basic, translational, and clinical scientists. T32 funding will provide critical support to synergize with ongoing institutional efforts, further enhance the ADRC's training efforts, and draw on the center's unique resources, exceptional mentors, supportive collaborators, and growing breadth of educational opportunities.

项目摘要/摘要 这是堪萨斯大学阿尔茨海默氏病研究中心（KU）的T32培训补助金 ADRC）培训阿尔茨海默氏病和相关痴呆症（ADRD）的下一代研究人员。这 KU ADRC于2011年获得资助，是拥有独特主题专业知识的33个国家研究中心之一 线粒体 /生物能学，生活方式修饰和AD预防研究。 KU ADRC研究基础 在过去的十年中，已经急剧发展，现在明确需要发展其研究培训计划 加快研究工作并创建下一代ADRD研究人员。 拟议的T32计划将为2提供多学科的翻译ADRD研究培训 典前，2个博士后和4名夏季学生。课程教师包括23个主要受体 具有独特的资格，有资格支持全日制（预科学员和博士后学员）和夏季学员以及19位短期 有资格支持夏季学生的主持人。 42位教职员工来自18个部门 包括基本，翻译和临床研究人员，他们都有彼此合作的历史 ADRC。我们有大量且越来越多的培训资助合格的学员 NIH资助研究的多样化和不断增长的投资组合。 我们的培训方法包括全日制学员的双重指导计划（即基本和临床指导者） 该计划是一项个人发展计划，以鼓励多学科和翻译 方法。该计划旨在提供发展独立研究职业所需的技能 在通过4个目标的ADRD研究中：1）提供广泛的ADRD基金会，并暴露于多样化 研究方法（基本，临床和转化）和临床护理（患者和看护者），2） ADRD研究技能（基本，临床和翻译），3）发展多学科研究技能以培养 学员和导师之间的合作，以及4）发展演讲和赠款技巧。夏天 培训计划旨在使临床学生接触ADRD研究和临床护理，以促进人们的兴趣 ADRD研究的职业。 培训计划利用机构资源和KU ADRC的研究优势来创建 下一代ADRD基本，转化和临床科学家的发展途径。 T32 资金将为持续的机构努力协同作用提供关键的支持，进一步增强ADRC 培训工作，并利用该中心的独特资源，卓越的导师，支持性合作者以及 越来越多的教育机会。
