The Schools of Medicine, Nursing, and Public Health of the Johns Hopkins University are proposing a new Alzheimer's-related Resources Center for Minority Aging Research (AD- RCMAR) in response to RFA-AG-18-002. The aims of this application are to: (1) mentor early- stage investigators from underrepresented backgrounds in minority aging and health disparities research, with a focus on Alzheimer's disease and related disorders (ADRD), using a life course perspective encompassing biological, behavioral, and community factors contributing to cognitive impairment and dementia in older minority adults; (2) conduct epidemiological, preventive, and intervention research that addresses ADRD in later life within a multi-level framework that encompasses individuals, families, social networks, and communities; and 3) engage communities and health care providers – especially family caregivers, primary care practices, communities of faith, and community organizations – as our partners in recognizing dementia and developing interventions with the potential to prevent cognitive decline and reduce ADRD dementia risk and disparities in minority older adults. The Johns Hopkins AD- RCMAR consists of: (1) an Administrative Core whose function is to provide governance and an administrative structure, to support research, to foster interactions between Cores and other Centers, and to ensure RCMAR Scientists develop mentoring relationships across the affiliated departments, schools, the intramural program at NIA in Baltimore, and nationally; (2) a Research Education Component to foster diverse junior investigators and mid-career investigators transitioning into ADRD-relevant research through support for individual pilot projects, career mentoring, scholar-to-scholar interactions, and role modeling; (3) a Community- Liaison and Recruitment Core to ensure the relevance of the ADRD research and to increase knowledge of engagement of community members in the research enterprise with the creation of a Community Resource Institute as a venue for community-investigator interaction; and (4) an Analysis Core as a foundation for methodological and statistical mentoring, including education and mentoring in mixed-methods research. An Executive Committee includes community representatives and a Scientific Advisory Panel consists of distinguished investigators with relevant expertise in minority aging, disparities, and ADRD. A pilot project program supported by all Cores to facilitate the development of RCMAR Scientists includes three initial pilot projects focusing on recruitment of minority populations for ADRD research, early diagnoses of dementia, and intervention development related to ADRD-related driving disparities.

约翰霍普金斯大学的医学院、护理学院和公共卫生学院是 提议建立一个新的与阿尔茨海默病相关的少数民族老龄化研究资源中心（AD- RCMAR）响应 RFA-AG-18-002 该应用程序的目的是：（1）早期指导 - 来自少数民族老龄化和健康差异方面代表性不足的背景的阶段调查员 研究重点是阿尔茨海默病和相关疾病 (ADRD)，利用生命历程 涵盖生物、行为和社区因素的观点 (2) 进行流行病学调查， 预防和干预研究，在多层次的范围内解决晚年 ADRD 问题 涵盖个人、家庭、社交网络和社区的框架；3) 让社区和医疗保健提供者参与进来，尤其是家庭护理人员、初级保健人员 实践、信仰社区和社区组织——作为我们认识到的合作伙伴 痴呆症和制定有潜力预防衰退和的干预措施 降低少数族裔老年人 ADRD 痴呆风险和差异。 RCMAR 包括： (1) 一个行政核心，其职能是提供治理和一个 行政结构，支持研究，促进核心与其他机构之间的互动 中心，并确保 RCMAR 科学家在附属机构之间建立指导关系 部门、学校、巴尔的摩 NIA 的校内项目以及全国 (2) a 研究教育部分旨在培养多样化的初级研究人员和职业中期人员 研究人员通过对个别飞行员的支持过渡到 ADRD 相关研究 项目、职业指导、学者之间的互动和角色建模；(3) 社区- 联络和招聘核心，以确保 ADRD 研究的相关性并提高 了解社区成员参与研究事业与创造的知识 社区资源研究所作为社区与研究者互动的场所；以及 (4) 分析核心作为方法和统计指导（包括教育）的基础 混合方法研究的指导和执行委员会包括社区。 代表和科学顾问小组由杰出的研究人员组成 支持少数民族老龄化、差异和 ADRD 方面的相关专业知识。 由所有核心促进 RCMAR 科学家的发展，包括三个初步试点 项目重点是招募少数族裔进行 ADRD 研究、早期诊断 痴呆症，以及与 ADRD 相关的驾驶差异相关的干预措施开发。
