Building a training program to diversify the academy and advance Alzheimer’s disease research

Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias (ADRD) are at the forefront of the United States (US) public health agenda, with a disproportionate impact on racial/ethnic minorities. Aging scholars have called for prioritizing ADRD disparities research and addressing the systems that promote research as essential to achieving equity in healthy aging scholarship. In 2018, the National Institute on Aging (NIA)‐funded, Carolina Center on Alzheimer’s Disease and Minority Research (CCADMR) was founded to increase the diversity of the research workforce in population health and ADRD disparities. The CCADMR provides underrepresented minority (URM), junior/mid‐career faculty scientists with opportunities for pilot grant funding, mentorship by senior faculty, and health disparities‐focused training. We share evaluation findings from the training and mentorship components of the Center.
