## Abstract

PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT
The broad objective of the Research Education Component is to enrich and support the training of a diverse
group of future research leaders in the study of Alzheimer's Disease (AD)-related disorders and brain aging. We
will provide a varied range of experiences and activities so that participants gain an integrated perspective to
perform critical and impactful studies of AD, related disorders, and brain aging. Use of an interdisciplinary
scientific approach will be emphasized, and key features of sound and effective translational science will be
highlighted. This component incorporates continuation of activities that were previously successfully
implemented in the Outreach and Recruitment Core (formerly entitled the Education and Information Transfer
Core). The plan includes travel awards, ethics training, encouragement of underrepresented minorities,
mentoring opportunities, continuing education activities, exposure to scientific and public conferences, and
information distribution by referencing the availability of the ADCC's resources and research opportunities. The
Research Education Component will train, nurture, and support graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, junior
faculty, and research associates by leveraging the interdisciplinary and collaborative nature of faculty in the
ADCC and related programs. Opportunities will be provided for maximal career development and growth to lead
to research independence. The Specific Aims of the Research Education Component address the overarching
goals to train, enrich, and provide opportunities for participants so that they develop into research leaders in the
field of AD, related disorders, and brain aging. Specific Aim 1 is to provide personalized mentorship and
activities geared toward each participant's prior experience and current interests, leading to maximal career
development and research independence. Specific Aim 2 is to ensure exemplary training and exposure to the
field of AD, related disorders, and brain research using a collaborative, interdisciplinary, and systems scientific
approach that underscores the importance of translating basic science discoveries to impactful and real-world
clinical outcomes. Specific Aim 3 is to instruct and require adherence to the responsible conduct of research.
The program faculty mentors associated with this component span numerous areas of expertise which, together,
encompass an interdisciplinary, multifaceted systems approach to AD and aging. The breadth and depth of foci
across laboratories allows a dynamic and systematic approach to mentoring, providing tremendous opportunities
to personalize the mentee's research exposure based on their own goals and background. Moreover, the
collaborative nature of our already established ADCC yields connectedness across program faculty, providing
abundant opportunities for training in multiple dimensions and techniques directly applicable to understanding
and intervening with AD and agi...
