What this research studies
If you take part in any linked projects, the Administrative Core coordinates data collection across multiple efforts including surveys, daily symptom tracking, biomarker collection, and genomics. It oversees quality control, participant communications, meetings of investigators, and management of data and contracts. The Core will collect new data over a six-year period from national samples and targeted African American groups to ensure diverse representation. Your responses and samples would be stored and shared with approved researchers to support many related Alzheimer’s studies.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates are adults with Alzheimer's disease or a related dementia and volunteers from African American communities willing to provide surveys, daily information, and biospecimens or genetic samples.
Not a fit: People looking for immediate treatment or therapy will not directly benefit from this administrative coordination, and those unwilling to provide data or samples may not be eligible to participate.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this coordinated data effort could speed discoveries about causes, diagnosis, and better care approaches for Alzheimer's and related dementias, with improved representation of African American communities.
How similar studies have performed: Large, multi-modal cohort studies like ADNI have produced important findings, and combining surveys, daily measures, biomarkers, and genomics with targeted diverse recruitment builds on proven methods while expanding representation.
