Future CSAAH Research Activities Related to AD/ADRD

Project*	Description	Priority Research Area(s)	Community Partners
Kickstart-Assess-Evaluate-Refer (KAER) Toolkit	CSAAH has initiated a project to culturally adapt and translate the comprehensive KAER toolkit for primary care providers to support detection of cognitive impairment and early diagnosis of dementia for older Asian American adult communities, to be administered in primary care and community settings. The KAER framework comes from the Gerontological Society of America (GSA) and identifies four steps to increase cognitive awareness, detection of cognitive impairment, diagnosis and post-diagnostic referrals, and medical care.	Structural barriers of the healthcare system; Need for AD/ADRD education	Chinese-American Planning Council, India Home, Korean Community Services of Metropolitan New York
Older Adult Community Health Resources and Needs Assessment (CHRNA)	CSAAH’s large-scale health needs assessment project focused on diverse older adults will use a community-engaged and community venue-based approach to assess existing health issues, available resources, and best approaches to meet needs of aging communities.	Structural barriers of the healthcare system	Network of community partners
NYU BOLD Public Health Center of Excellence (PHCOE) for Early Detection of Dementia	The NYU BOLD PHCOE is a national repository and catalyst for implementation of evidence-based and evidence-informed public health strategies that increase early dementia detection.	Structural barriers of the healthcare system; Need for AD/ADRD education	National advisory council of community partners, advocacy groups, healthcare systems, and professional societies
Academic Leadership Award on Aging and Alzheimer’s Disease Disparities Research	This initiative aims to establish a research training program to build academic capacity and leadership to advance the science of aging and AD/ADRD health disparities, advance innovative participatory, systems science, and implementation science frameworks and methods for aging and AD/ADRD research in minority and health disparity populations, and mentor junior scientists in applying multi-level, community-engaged frameworks and rigorous methods to advance the science of aging and AD/ADRD health disparities research.	Research to advance the AD/ADRD field	N/A
Engagement in Longevity and Medicine (ELM) Research Collaborative	ELM is evaluating and disseminating best practices in engaging, recruiting and retaining diverse older populations in research. This project aims to stimulate the development and testing of innovative, community-engaged approaches to participant recruitment in clinical and community settings, and strengthen communication and messaging strategies tailored to diverse aging research populations.	Research to advance the AD/ADRD field	Hamilton-Madison House, Korean Community Services of Metropolitan New York
Preparing Successful Aging through Dementia Literacy Education and Navigation (PLAN)	This clinical trials test the effect of a community-based intervention, PLAN, delivered by trained CHWs for undiagnosed Korean American older adults with probable dementia and their caregivers on linkage to medical services for dementia. The aim is to test the effect of PLAN on Korean older adults with probable dementia and caregivers towards development of a plan regarding dementia care compared to usual care.	Value of social support and social networks; Structural barriers of the healthcare system; Need for AD/ADRD education	Korean Community Services of Metropolitan New York, Korean Community Service Center of Greater Washington
Asian Resource Centers for Minority Aging Research (RCMAR)	The Asian RCMAR advances careers of investigators from underrepresented populations through translational trauma and resilience research amongst Asian American older adults that informs both practice and policy at community, city, state, regional, and national levels.	Research to advance the AD/ADRD field	N/A
