PROJECT SUMMARY: Networking & Mentoring Core Within the Massachusetts AI and Technology Center for Connected Care in Aging and Alzheimer's Disease (MAITC), the activities of the Networking and Mentoring Core will foster the development of high-impact project pilot teams, a research community dedicated to the MAITC’s goals and the next generation of individuals inspired to work at the intersection of AI, technology, Aging and AD/ADRD care. All networking and mentoring activities will be structured to help nurture the development of researchers from underrepresented minorities; underrepresented genders in their fields; people with disabilities; and those from socially, culturally, economically, or educationally disadvantaged backgrounds. In support of these goals, the Networking and Mentoring Core has three aims. The first aim is to establish and grow a multidisciplinary network of researchers and practitioners using AI-enhanced technologies to support Healthy Aging and AD/ADRD care. The Networking and Mentoring Core will play an integral role in forming and supporting a multidisciplinary community with national scope connecting stakeholders (older adults, lay caregivers, and clinicians, health systems and service providers), technology-focused and clinical researchers, industry partners, investors, the NIA Small Business Office and others working to advance the goals of developing, translating, validating and deploying emerging AI-enabled technologies to support healthy aging and AD/ADRD care. Activities will include numerous multidisciplinary networking events, the development of a robust online community and directory of research expertise, technology showcase events, and supports for the creation of multidisciplinary pilot project teams. The Networking and Mentoring Core’s work will also focus on maintaining strong within-center and cross-center synergy to result in leadership, graduate students and trainees, and staff working cohesively toward the MAITC’s shared vision of supporting pilot project teams. The second aim is to provide technology, needs assessment, user assessment and technology deployment training for individuals interested in conducting work aligned with the MAITC’s goals so they have the knowledge and resources to conduct high-quality research and integrate technologies based on MAITC research into real- world settings. The Networking and Mentoring Core will also provide robust mentoring for pilot grant awardees, junior faculty, and students to inspire the next generation of investigators to pursue careers at the intersection of technology and health. The third aim is to provide thought leadership in MAITC’s focus areas via showcase videos, thematic whitepapers, journal special issues, and conference sessions which highlight successful application of AI-enabled technologies to support Healthy Aging and AD/ADRD care, as well as identify key gaps where there is significant stakeholder need but no viable technologies to address these needs, thereby catalyzing new areas of research.

项目摘要：网络和指导核心 马萨诸塞州老龄化和阿尔茨海默病互联护理人工智能和技术中心 (MAITC)，网络和指导核心的活动将促进高影响力项目的发展 试点团队，一个致力于 MAITC 目标和下一代个人的研究社区 受到人工智能、技术、老龄化和 AD/ADRD 护理交叉领域工作的启发。 将组织活动以帮助培养代表性不足的少数群体研究人员的发展； 其领域中代表性不足的性别；以及来自社会、文化、 经济或教育背景较差。 为了支持这些目标，网络和指导核心有三个目标：第一个目标是建立和指导。 使用人工智能增强技术发展一个由研究人员和从业人员组成的多学科网络来支持 健康老龄化和 AD/ADRD 护理将在形成过程中发挥不可或缺的作用。 支持全国范围内的多学科社区，将利益相关者（老年人、非专业人士）联系起来 护理人员、退伍军人、卫生系统和服务提供商）、以技术为重点的临床研究人员、 行业合作伙伴、投资者、NIA 小型企业办公室和其他致力于推进以下目标的人员 开发、翻译、验证和部署新兴的人工智能技术以支持健康老龄化 AD/ADRD 护理活动将包括众多多学科网络活动、开发 强大的在线社区和研究专业知识目录、技术展示活动以及支持 网络和指导核心的工作也将集中于创建多学科试点项目团队。 保持强大的中心内和跨中心协同作用，以培养领导力、研究生和 学员和工作人员齐心协力，实现 MAITC 支持试点项目团队的共同愿景。 第二个目标是提供技术、需求评估、用户评估和技术部署培训 对于有兴趣开展与 MAITC 目标一致的工作的个人，以便他们拥有知识和 资源进行高质量的研究，并将基于 MAITC 研究的技术整合到现实中 网络和指导核心还将为试点资助获得者提供强有力的指导， 初级教师和学生激励下一代研究人员在十字路口追求职业生涯 第三个目标是通过展示在 MAITC 的重点领域提供思想领导力。 强调成功的视频、专题白皮书、期刊特刊和会议会议 应用人工智能技术支持健康老龄化和 AD/ADRD 护理，并确定关键 存在重大利益相关者需求但没有可行技术来满足这些需求的差距，从而 促进新的研究领域。
