JHAD-RCMAR

The Johns Hopkins Alzheimer’s Disease Resource Center for Minority Aging Research (JHAD-RCMAR) is a collaborative effort between the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, and the Johns Hopkins School of Nursing. The Center is one of the Alzheimer's disease-focused Centers coordinated by the Resource Centers for Minority Aging Research (AD-RCMAR) and funded by the National Institutes of Health National Institute on Aging.

The JHAD-RCMAR capitalizes on an outstanding interdisciplinary environment at Johns Hopkins University for research, training, and mentoring to emphasize epidemiological and intervention research with a life course perspective on ameliorating health disparities by advancing minority aging research as it is related to ADRD.  It is expected that studies will establish preliminary data and generate peer-reviewed manuscripts in high-impact journals that lead to substantive, long-term externally funded portfolios.
