Training the Next Generation of Alzheimer’s and Dementia Researchers
The CADRC is committed to developing the next generation of investigators and physician researchers specializing in aging and neurodegeneration. Through our Research Education Component (REC), early-stage investigators work closely with experienced mentors to create individualized training plans that strengthen their scientific expertise and support their transition toward independent research careers.
Please email the REC administrator at REC@ClevelandADRC.org for more information.
Collaborative Training Model
The REC promotes a highly collaborative research environment. Physician trainees partner with basic science mentors to design research projects with the goal of securing future grant funding. Basic science trainees receive guidance in developing their own research portfolios, applying for grants, and advancing toward independence under the supervision of established investigators.
Integrated Clinical and Research Experience
Beyond mentored research, trainees participate in advanced coursework and hands-on clinical observations, connecting laboratory findings with patient care. This integrated approach builds a comprehensive understanding of Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias across both scientific and clinical settings.
