项目摘要

Project Summary/Abstract We propose an Alzheimer's-related Resource Center for Minority Aging Research (AD/ADRD RCMAR) at University of Illinois Chicago (UIC) called the “Center for Health Equity in Cognitive Aging” (CHECA). CHECA will support the development of new equity-focused ADRD research at UIC by building behavioral and social research infrastructure (Aim 1), diversifying the AD/ADRD research workforce through mentorship and training for early-career Scientists (Aim 2), and supporting pilot research (Aim 3). The research supported by CHECA will address 3 complementary themes: (1) advancing our understanding of environmental, sociocultural, and behavioral contributors of ADRD inequities; (2) developing and testing health-promoting resources (e.g., physical activity or stress-coping interventions; support from families, communities, or healthcare systems; information and technologies) appropriate for the needs of adults aging with or at risk for AD/ADRD and their care partners; and (3) cross-fertilizing population science and health promotion approaches to innovate our understanding of structural, social, and behavioral drivers of ADRD inequities and to maximize our intervention effects. In all of its work, CHECA is committed to centering diverse perspectives, intra-group variations, and an intersectionality lens across overlapping identities (e.g., race, ethnicity, gender and sexual identity, class, disability). The Leadership and Administrative Core (LAC) will provide scientific and intellectual leadership, strategic direction, and administrative oversight to produce synergy across CHECA cores. The Research Education Component (REC) will provide a mentoring program for RCMAR Scientists to support their long-term careers, will implement the pilot funding program (solicitation, review, and selection of pilot studies for funding), and will empower CHECA Scientists with tools and training relevant to the CHECA themes. The Analysis Core (AnC) will support Scientists' pilot projects through statistical/methodological consultation and mentoring while also enriching CHECA's methodological infrastructure accessible to all CHECA-affiliated scholars and faculty members. The Community Liaison Recruitment Core (CLRC) will provide CHECA Scientists and their mentors with training opportunities and resources for conducting community-engaged research, and will facilitate bi-directional collaborations between CHECA and community partners. Establishing CHECA will enable an increasingly diverse cadre of scholars at UIC to build on our strong track record of research with older underrepresented minority populations locally and nationally. As a federally designated Minority-Service Institution, Asian American and Native American Pacific Islander-Serving Institution, and Hispanic-Serving Institution, UIC provides a fertile ground for a new AD/ADRD RCMAR that focuses on joining population science and health promotion research to better understand and address ADRD-related health inequities.

项目摘要/摘要我们提议为少数族裔老龄化建立一个与阿尔茨海默病相关的资源中心伊利诺伊大学芝加哥分校 (UIC) 的研究 (AD/ADRD RCMAR) 称为“健康公平中心” 认知老化”（CHECA）将支持新的以股权为重点的 ADRD 研究的发展。 UIC 通过建立行为和社会研究基础设施（目标 1），使 AD/ADRD 研究多样化通过对早期职业科学家的指导和培训（目标 2）以及支持试点研究来培养劳动力（目标 3）。CHECA 支持的研究将解决 3 个互补主题：(1) 推进我们的研究。 (2) 加深对 ADRD 不平等的环境、社会文化和行为因素的了解；测试促进健康的资源（例如身体活动或压力应对干预措施；来自适合成人需求的家庭、社区或医疗保健系统；患有 AD/ADRD 或有 AD/ADRD 风险的老龄化人群及其护理伙伴；(3) 人口科学与健康促进方法，以创新我们对结构、社会和行为驱动因素的理解 ADRD 不平等并最大化我们的干预效果在其所有工作中，CHECA 致力于集中精力。不同的观点、群体内的差异以及跨重叠身份的交叉镜头（例如，种族、民族、性别和性认同、阶级、残疾）领导和行政核心 (LAC) 将。提供科学和智力领导、战略方向和行政监督，以生产 CHECA 核心之间的协同作用。研究教育部分 (REC) 将提供指导计划。为了支持 RCMAR 科学家的长期职业生涯，将实施试点资助计划（征集、审查和选择资助试点研究），并将为 CHECA 科学家提供工具和培训与 CHECA 主题相关的分析核心 (AnC) 将通过以下方式支持科学家的试点项目。统计/方法咨询和指导，同时丰富 CHECA 的方法所有 CHECA 附属学者和教职人员均可使用的基础设施。招聘核心（CLRC）将为CHECA科学家及其导师提供培训机会和进行社区参与研究的资源，并将促进之间的双向合作 CHECA 和社区合作伙伴的建立将使学者队伍日益多元化。 UIC 将以我们对当地年长的、代表性不足的少数民族人口的良好研究记录为基础作为联邦指定的少数族裔服务机构，亚裔美国人和美国原住民。 UIC 的太平洋岛民服务机构和西班牙裔服务机构为新的 AD/ADRD RCMAR 专注于将人口科学和健康促进研究结合起来，以更好地了解并解决与 ADRD 相关的健康不平等问题。
