What is the New IDEAS Study?
New IDEAS is a nationwide research study for people who have memory loss. The study is looking at a type of FDA-approved brain imaging called an amyloid PET scan. It is a safe, non-invasive test that takes pictures of the brain. New IDEAS is trying to find out if PET scan results can help guide doctors in diagnosing and treating memory conditions. It is crucial that there is diverse representation in the New IDEAS Study. Of the 7,000 participants, we are aiming for 2,000 of those participants to be Black / African American and 2,000 to be Hispanic / Latino. Together with the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, the American College of Radiology, and Vanderbilt University, the Alzheimer's Association is proud to be a part of this national research study.
Become a Champion for the New IDEAS Study!
Champions are advocates for others in their communities and are responsible for sharing study materials with those who are interested in the study. They are instrumental with making communities aware of this research study and how they can participate. From their interactions in the community, Champions inform the study team of emerging needs and interests from constituents and they leverage existing trusting relationships at the local level.
Role:
- Deliver participant facing materials to organizations in their area
- Outreach to the community about the importance of participating in research
- Work on partnering with organizations to provide education and host events to support study awareness and New IDEAS study enrollment
- Communicate with UNC engagement specialists to enhance and support additional activities
