Alzheimer's-related Resource Centers for Minority Aging Research (AD/ADRD RCMAR) (P30 Clinical Trial Optional)

This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) invites applications from institutions proposing to develop, or renew, a Resource Center for Minority Aging Research (RCMAR) that focuses on behavioral and social science research in a key area related to Alzheimers disease (AD) and AD-related dementias (ADRD). The goal of the AD/ADRD RCMAR program is two-fold: (1) to diversify the AD/ADRD research workforce in priority areas of social, behavioral, psychological, and economic research related to AD/ADRD by mentoring promising scientists from diverse backgrounds; and 2) to develop a research and mentoring infrastructure to foster rigorous research and lead to scientific advances in priority areas of behavioral and social science related to AD/ADRD, including, but not limited to, the following: cognitive and dementia epidemiology, behavioral and social pathways to AD/ADRD, early psychological and functional changes, AD/ADRD prevention, dementia care, caregiving/care partners, and AD/ADRD health disparities and health inequities. To achieve the goal of the AD/ADRD RCMAR program, applications should propose multipronged, collaborative approaches in a supportive environment that embraces, integrates, and strengthens diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility (DEIA).
