Michigan Center for Contextual Factors in Alzheimer’s and Related Diseases
What is context?
Context means the bigger world around us—like money, relationships, and rules—that can affect Alzheimer’s risk and care.
Contexto significa todo lo que está a nuestro alrededor—por ejemplo, el dinero, las relaciones y las reglas—que puede hacer que el riesgo de padecer Alzheimer sea mayor o menor.
مفهوم “السياق” يعني العالم الأوسع من حول الفرد، مثل الوضع المالي، والعلاقات الاجتماعية، والقوانين، وهي عوامل يمكن أن تؤثر على خطر الإصابة بمرض الزهايمر وعلى الرعاية المقدمة للمصابين.
The Michigan Center for Contextual Factors in Alzheimer’s Disease (MCCFAD) is the collaborative effort between University of Michigan, Michigan State University and Wayne State University. The Center is based on the campuses of the University of Michigan, Michigan State University, Wayne State University. MCCFAD is one of the Alzheimer’s disease-focused Centers coordinated by the Resource Centers for Minority Aging Research (AD-RCMAR) and it is funded by the National Institute on Aging.
Our research, training and community-based activities are implemented through four interacting components: the Administrative Core, the Research and Educational Core, the Analytic Core, and the Community Liaison and Recruitment Core.
The MCCFAD is funded by the National Institute on Aging (NIA) grant P30AG059300.
