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.

项目概要/摘要 这是来自堪萨斯大学阿尔茨海默病研究中心 (KU ADRC）旨在培训下一代阿尔茨海默病和相关痴呆症（ADRD）研究人员。这 KU ADRC 于 2011 年获得资助，是 33 个国家研究中心之一，在以下领域拥有独特的专题专业知识： 线粒体/生物能量学、生活方式改变和 AD 预防研究。 KU ADRC研究基地 在过去十年中取得了巨大的发展，现在显然需要扩大其研究培训计划 加速研究工作并培养下一代 ADRD 研究人员。 拟议的 T32 计划将为 2 名学生提供多学科、转化性 ADRD 研究培训 博士前、博士后2名、暑期生4名。项目教师包括 23 名主要导师，他们是 具有支持全职（博士前和博士后培训生）和暑期培训生以及 19 名短期培训生的独特资格 有资格支持暑期学生的导师。 42名教师来自18个院系 包括基础、转化和临床研究人员，他们都有相互合作的历史，并且 ADRC。我们拥有大量且不断增长的符合培训补助金资格的学员，他们被 NIH 资助的研究项目多样化且不断增长。 我们的培训方法包括针对全职学员的双重导师计划（即基础导师和临床导师） 其结构为个人发展计划，以鼓励多学科和转化 接近。该计划旨在提供发展独立研究职业所需的技能 ADRD 研究通过 4 个目标：1) 提供广泛的 ADRD 基础，接触不同的领域 研究方法（基础、临床和转化）和临床护理（患者和护理人员），2) 发展 ADRD 研究技能（基础、临床和转化），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) 培养演讲和资助写作技能。夏天 培训计划旨在让临床学生接触 ADRD 研究和临床护理，以培养对 ADRD 研究和临床护理的兴趣 ADRD 研究的职业生涯。 该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 基础、转化和临床科学家的发展途径。 T32 资金将为与正在进行的机构努力协同作用提供关键支持，进一步增强 ADRC 的能力 培训工作，并利用中心独特的资源、杰出的导师、支持性合作者和 教育机会的范围不断扩大。
