Data and Analysis Component

The AnC provides guidance on implementing best practices and navigating the substantial expertise and resources available to RCMAR Scientists through Mass-ENVISION’s affiliated sites and extended network, which include: Massachusetts General Hospital, Brigham and Women’s Hospital, Harvard Medical School, Boston University (BU) and BU School of Medicine, Cambridge Health Alliance, the Massachusetts Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center (MADRC), BU-ADRC, Boston Claude O. Pepper Older Americans Independence Center (OAIC), Hebrew SeniorLife, and more.  

Our team builds on four key strengths: (1) deep mentoring experience across a diversity of research settings and topics; (2) a focus on research addressing concerns of diverse and underrepresented in medicine (UiM), marginalized or stigmatized populations; (3) demonstrated investment in pooling science-advancing resources and making them broadly available; (4) a shared dedication to dismantling structural racism through mentorship of promising scientists from diverse and UiM backgrounds. The specific aims of the AnC are to:

Aim 1: Provide (statistical, data analysis) mentoring to RCMAR Scientists

​Aim 2: Support unique and emerging measurement needs for RCMAR Scientists

​Aim 3: Provide guidance on mHealth data to RCMAR Scientists

​Aim 4: Curate existing and emerging data sources across Mass-ENVISION and Alzheimer’s-related RCMARs
