KU ADC Administrative Core

Administrative Core

The Administrative Core oversees the operation of the University of Kansas Alzheimer's Disease Center (KU ADC). The KU ADC is one of the twenty-nine designated Alzheimer's Disease Centers in the United States sponsored by the National Institute of Aging (NIA).

The goals of the Administrative Core are to:

• Develop and oversee the KU ADC which supports, facilitates, and advances research on brain aging, mild cognitive impairment, and Alzheimer's disease and disease related disorders, and
• Expand the base of clinical, translational and basic science investigators conducting research on brain aging, mild cognitive impairment, and Alzheimer's disease and disease related disorders at the University of Kansas.

The Administrative Core encourages investigators to utilize KU ADC resources. We support a diverse spectrum of Alzheimer's disease and brain aging research. To further promote Alzheimer's disease and brain aging research in the Kansas City region, the Administrative Core also offers a Pilot Project program.
