Alzheimer’s Disease Resource Center for Minority Aging Research
欢迎
The RGV Alzheimer’s Disease Resource Center for Minority Aging Research (AD-RCMAR) is committed to enhancing the diversity of the workforce and reducing health disparities among Hispanics in South Texas through advanced research in 痴呆, 少数民族老龄化. 通过共同努力, we are building an infrastructure and data collections system to attract and support expert researchers from multiple disciplines and at different scientific career stages, encouraging them to conduct research aimed at reducing the impacts of Alzheimer’s disease.
关于
The RGV AD-RCMAR was established in 2018 with funding from the 金沙中国al Institute on Aging (NIH, e AG059305). Because of its unique geographical location on the South Texas/Mexico border with a large Hispanic population, the focus of the AD-RCMAR is to reduce the impacts of Alzheimer’s disease and related brain disorders among Hispanics and other minority groups.
Our AD-RCMAR leads initiative efforts across 金沙中国 colleges and administrative departments to work together with patient advocacy groups, 社区组织, private and public health care providers, state and federal agencies and other academic institutions to enhance the diversity of the workforce in minority aging research.
With a growing group of diverse research investigators studying the disproportionate health and economic burdens of Alzheimer’s disease in Hispanics, we hope to accelerate cutting-edge research programs, 干预措施, and health care services for Alzheimer’s prevention, along with the care and treatment of 痴呆 tailored to Hispanics and health care providers in the RGV.
