## Abstract

SUMMARY/ABSTRACT – OUTREACH,RECRUITMENT & ENGAGEMENT CORE 
The Outreach, Recruitment, and Engagement (ORE) Core works with all ADRC Cores, with other initiatives of 
the Emory Brain Health Center, and with interdisciplinary colleagues at other ADRCs to advance the overall 
goals of the Goizueta ADRC in support of the national plan to address Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and related 
disorders (ADRD). The ORE Core will pursue three main aims and one developmental aim: Aim 1, Provide 
outreach and educational programs to promote recruitment into research and brain donation with particular 
emphasis on reaching a wide variety of dementing illnesses and caregiving situations; Aim 2, Target 
educational programs and consultation to clinicians and academics, including those engaged in in training 
activities in the Research Education Component, to promote research recruitment and interdisciplinary 
research; Aim 3, Engage with community and academic partners in providing recruitment-related, innovative 
educational programs, including extending the ORE Core reach to rural locations, particularly those linked to 
the Georgia Memory Net, using videoconferencing and other distance approaches; Developmental Aim, 
Expand networking activities at Emory and partnering ADRCs to enhance care services for persons living with 
dementing illnesses. As a part of a fully-integrated ADRC, the ORE Core works collaboratively with other 
cores to perform four main functions: disseminate ADRC activities to partners and potential research 
participants; reach out to a broad network of service providers, advocacy groups, and researchers to 
strengthen our dissemination and recruitment capacities; expand education and training offerings to individuals 
and professionals, especially in the great heterogeneity of dementing illnesses and caregiving situations; and 
lead and collaborate in the development of responses to unmet research and service needs of those living with 
dementing illnesses and their family caregivers. The Core builds on strong partnerships with academic, 
provider, and advocacy groups, including with Georgia Memory Net (GMN), a new statewide initiative to 
provide diagnostic, treatment, and care planning services to Georgia. Our connection with the Emory’s Mild 
Cognitive Impairment Empowerment Center (MCIEP), deepens our capacity to educate and recruit this large 
group of cognitively impaired individuals and their family caregivers. Going forward, the ORE core will offer the 
kind of large-scale outreach and education programs that have proved to successful in the past and will 
broadcast many of these. Additionally, we will sponsor or co-sponsor at least three programs targeted to 
various aspects of the heterogeneity of care situations. In support of Aims 2 and 3, we will provide at least 
educational programs for providers, focused on issues of diagnosis, management, and support of family 
caregivers and will collaborate in provider training in the GMN. W...
