## Abstract

PROJECT SUMMARY ABSTRACT – Outreach and Recruitment Core 
The Outreach and Recruitment (OR) Core supports the overall mission of the ADC through activities related to 
community outreach, recruitment and retention, and dissemination of information to the lay and professional 
community. The OR Core has considerable expertise in minority outreach and supports the Clinical Core in 
recruiting and retaining an ethnically and demographically diverse cohort in multiple ways, including staff 
trainings, collaboration with community agencies, development of outreach materials, publication and 
dissemination of semi-annual newsletters. The OR Core has promoted the work of the UCD ADC through two 
highly successful annual community outreach events that specifically target minority groups--African American 
Wellness Forum and Spanish Mini-Medical School, both of which also serve as forum for minority research 
participant recruitment. The OR works closely with the Clinical and Neuropathology Cores to monitor and 
promote minority participation in the brain donation program. For example, together with three other ADCs, the 
OR Core has completed a study of barriers to brain donation among minorities through a National Alzheimer's 
Coordination Center Collaborative Grant. The UCD ADC via the OR Core works collaboratively with other 
Centers within University of California Davis such as the Center for Reducing Health Disparities, Clinical 
Translational Sciences Center, and Latino Aging Research Center; and the OR Core partners with local and 
regional community agencies such as the Alzheimer's Association to educate lay communities about 
Alzheimer's disease and healthy brain aging by co-sponsoring major conferences. Through collaboration with 
the Administrative Core, the OR Core will continue to further develop the Community Engagement Lecture 
Series and Annual Caregiver Workshop (through sponsorship from local long-term care facilities) to both 
Sacramento and East Bay communities. Emphasis will also be placed on retention activities by offering 
support groups, brain health classes, and caregiver stress management classes for ADC participants and 
family members. Finally, the OR Core maintains the ADC website, supporting other Cores and the Center as a 
whole.
