The State Alzheimer's Research Support Center (StARS) features a robust, multi-faceted transdisciplinary collaboration, designed to address gaps in knowledge and advance the research evidence base. The Center will develop a strong infrastructure to examine state and sub-state level services and policies related to the delivery and coordination of health care, aging services, and home and community-based services for people living with Alzheimer's Disease and Alzheimer's Disease Related Dementias (AD/ADRDs) and their caregivers across all communities (particularly underserved ones).
