The Resource Centers for Minority Aging Research (RCMAR) represent a long-standing program established by the National Institute on Aging (NIA) to support behavioral and social research in the areas of aging, health disparities in older adults, and Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and AD-related dementias (ADRD) through the development of research infrastructure and the mentorship of early career scientists from diverse backgrounds, including, but not limited to, individuals from racial and ethnic groups underrepresented in biomedical and behavioral research, individuals with disabilities, and women. RCMAR Centers have a long track record of supporting the study of aging in diverse communities, which is a core component of the RCMAR mission.
