Identifying priorities and supporting ADRD researchers through Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center Research Education Components

In 2018, The National Institute on Aging introduced Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center Research Education Components (RECs) to support research educational activities to complement the training of a workforce to meet the nation’s research needs in AD and related dementias, and develop the next generation of scientists to lead cross‐disciplinary, translational, team‐science projects on AD or AD‐related dementias. Identifying needs and priorities as well as determining the impact of RECs requires tracking of new initiatives, and collaboration between multiple supportive institutions.
