Abstract

Project Summary There is an urgent need for improved therapies for Alzheimer’s Disease and Related Dementias (ADRD). Critical to the mission to develop treatments for and curb the public health impact of ADRD will be a new generation of ADRD scientists, especially scientists with the unique training and skills necessary to design and perform clinical trials. This training is rarely provided through the traditional course of medical or biostatistical education. Moreover, to develop improved therapies for ADRD, multidisciplinary expertise in clinical trials will be necessary, including medical specialists but also expertise in biostatistics, biomarkers, trial design, participant recruitment, study organization, and trial ethics. This proposal requests support for a first-of-its-kind training program in the essential elements of design and conduct of ADRD trials that will leverage the full infrastructure and expertise of the Alzheimer’s Clinical Trials Consortium (ACTC) and be conducted annually to enable a diverse range of clinicians, scientists and researchers to receive modern and robust training on ADRD clinical trials.
