Aging Asian and Pacific Americans (APAs) face risks for Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias (AD/ADRD), stress from immigration and acculturation, as well as pandemic-related social isolation. The Resource Center for Alzheimer’s and Dementia Research in Asian and Pacific Americans (RCASIA) will identify, mentor, and elevate underrepresented scientists to conduct AD/ADRD-related behavioral, social, and economic research in disaggregated APA populations to improve their brain health, care, and well-being.
