{"doi":"10.32481/djph.2021.09.006","title":"Expanding Alzheimer’s Research at the University of Delaware and Beyond:","abstract":"Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the leading cause of dementia in older adults and is among the fastest growing causes of morbidity and mortality in the United States. Approximately 19,000 older adults have been formally diagnosed with AD in Delaware and this number is expected to rise to 23,000 by 2025. 2 These cases affect approximately 55 thousand caregivers who provide 63 million hours of unpaid care worth $822 million. address this issue, the Delaware Valley chapter of the Alzheimer's Association and the State's Division of Services for Aging and Adults with Physical Disabilities (DSAAPD) formed a joint task force in 2012 and published the \"Delaware State Plan to Address Alzheimer's Disease and Related Disorders.\" Among other things, this plan resulted in an online Alzheimer's Toolkit for patients, families, and health professionals (https://dhss.delaware.gov/dhss/dsaapd/alzheimers_toolkit.html). In line with other national and international AD initiatives, 3 it also included a call to increase Delaware's capacity for ADrelated research and increase training and professional development in ADRD to healthcare workers. In this article, we will provide an update on the current state of ADRD research at the University of Delaware (UD) and propose how a strategic investment in key infrastructure for cognitive aging research would make UD and partnering institutions well-positioned to contribute to the State's effort to address the growing problem of ADRD.","journal":"Delaware Journal of Public Health","year":2021,"id":227041,"datarank":0.0,"base_score":0.0,"endowment":0.0,"self_citation_contribution":0.0,"citation_network_contribution":0.0,"self_endowment_contribution":0.0,"citer_contribution":0.0,"corpus_percentile":null,"corpus_rank":null,"citation_count":0,"citer_count":0,"citers_with_citation_signal":0,"citers_with_endowment":0,"datacite_reuse_total":0,"is_dataset":false,"is_dataset_confidence":0.9131,"is_data_producer":false,"deposit_databanks":null,"is_oa":true,"file_count":0,"downloads":0,"has_version_chain":false,"published_date":"2021-01-01","fair_score":null,"fair_percentile":null,"algorithm_id":"datarank_citation_only_1hop_v6","ranking_scope":"data_only","authors":[{"id":706264,"name":"Matthew L.
