## Abstract

ABSTRACT- RESEARCH EDUCATION COMPONENT 
Research education has long been a core mission of the NYU ADRC and its affiliated Center for Cognitive 
Neurology (CCN). Hence, we are pleased to expand our efforts with the formation of a new Research Education 
Component (REC). The REC will build on the extensive experience of numerous NYU ADRC/CCN affiliated 
researchers/clinicians and educators, who will nurture the careers of future AD/ADRD investigators. NYU 
Langone Health (NYULH) is uniquely positioned to provide trainees with the resources needed to develop and 
hone research skills by working in conjunction with world-class, established research programs and 
internationally renowned mentors. Our program will take advantage of the NYU ADRC cores' long history of 
training clinician scientists to become successful, productive investigators. We will recruit a scientifically and 
demographically diverse group of up to five fellows named: NYU ADRC REC Scholars. The REC Scholars will 
be given comprehensive mentoring and training, with funding for expenses such as travel to meetings and 
exchanges with other ADRCs. A broad multidisciplinary training program will be developed, providing instruction 
and training in cutting-edge research methods. A second group of REC Junior Scholars will be immersed in 
the training program and will include NYU's diverse program for students led by the Sackler Institute, the Summer 
Undergraduate Research Program (SURP). The REC specific aims are: Aim 1: Implement outreach, recruitment 
and selection of a scientifically and demographically diverse group who will be leaders in AD/ADRD research. 
We will select up to five individuals (REC Scholars) for an average of a two-year training period. Aim 2: Provide 
broad multi-disciplinary training and mentoring. REC Scholars will be dually paired with experienced 
investigators with clinical and/or basic research expertise. They will receive a comprehensive program of 
didactics, training in statistical and epidemiological methods, scientific rigor, responsible conduct of research 
training and career development. Each REC Scholar, with their mentors, will develop an individualized career 
development plan. In addition to the REC Scholars, REC Junior Scholars will be identified each year from among 
medical students, undergraduates, graduate students and residents at NYULH. Junior Scholars will participate 
in didactic programs that focus on AD/ADRD and brain aging, and will each receive mentoring by a REC Scholar. 
Aim 3: Augment inter- and cross-institutional partnerships to enhance research training in AD/ADRD. We will 
work with the Neuroscience Institute, NYU's Clinical and Translational Science Institute (CTSI) and its clinical 
research training, diverse NYU Colleges, other ADRCs, and Centers of Excellence in AD to provide REC 
Scholars with opportunities for rotations to increase the breadth and depth of their training. Aim 4: Implement 
methods for the measurement of...
