项目摘要

PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT A national conference on Risk and Resilience to Alzheimer’s Disease in African Americans will take place at Rutgers University–Newark, in Newark, New Jersey, on June 23- 24, 2022. Although African Americans are at elevated risk for age-related cognitive decline and memory loss—with double the prevalence of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) compared to white Americans—we do not sufficiently understand the causes of this health disparity, nor how to best focus future interventional efforts to remediate this health crisis. This day-and-a-half conference will present the latest data on biological, behavioral, social, and environmental influences on individual differences in aging, brain health, and AD in older African Americans, bridging correlational, longitudinal, and interventional methodologies. The three related specific aims of the conference are to: (1) Promote cross-disciplinary collaboration and communication among researchers who study risk and resilience to AD in African Americans; (2) Support trainees and early career investigators in this field; and (3) Promote wider scientific, clinical, and public awareness of the factors which affect risk and resilience to AD in African Americans. Finally, this meeting will be innovative in four ways: (1) It will focus on interdisciplinary approaches to risk and resilience to AD in African Americans; (2) We integrate African American community leaders and research participants in the programming; (3) A planned guest-edited volume of the Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease with contributions from the speakers will ensure wide dissemination and impact; (4) As Rutgers-Newark is an urban public university rated #1 in Ethnic Diversity by US News & World Report, a federally-qualified Minority-Serving Institution, and a NIH G-RISE minority graduate student training center, this meeting will enhance training and career development for undergraduate and graduate students from under-represented minority groups.

项目概要/摘要非洲阿尔茨海默病风险和抵御能力全国会议美国队将于 6 月 23 日在新泽西州纽瓦克市的罗格斯大学纽瓦克分校举行 2022 年 2 月 24 日。尽管非裔美国人面临与年龄相关的认知能力下降和记忆丧失——阿尔茨海默病 (AD) 的患病率是白人的两倍美国人——我们没有充分了解这种健康差异的原因，也没有充分了解如何解决这一问题在这一天半的时间里，最好将重点放在未来的干预措施上，以补救这场健康危机。会议将展示有关生物、行为、社会和环境的最新数据对老年非裔美国人衰老、大脑健康和 AD 个体差异的影响，桥接相关方法、纵向方法和干预方法。会议的目的是：（1）促进跨学科合作与交流 (2) 研究非洲裔美国人 AD 风险和恢复力的研究人员的支持；该领域的实习生和早期职业研究人员；(3) 促进更广泛的科学、临床和研究；公众对影响非裔美国人 AD 风险和恢复能力的因素的认识。最后，本次会议将在四个方面进行创新：（一）聚焦跨学科 (2) 我们融合非裔美国人 (3) 客座策划阿尔茨海默病杂志的卷以及演讲者的贡献将确保 (4) 罗格斯-纽瓦克大学是一所城市公立大学，在以下方面排名第一：《美国新闻与世界报道》的《种族多样性》是一家具有联邦资格的少数族裔服务机构，和NIH G-RISE少数族裔研究生培训中心，本次会议将加强培训代表性不足的本科生和研究生的职业发展少数群体。
