## Description

The UAB Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center recruits and deeply phenotypes a cohort representative of the Deep South. The cohort aims to recruit a substantial fraction of self-reported African American / Black participants. Participants are enrolled as either cognitively unimpaired, MCI, or a target of mild dementia and followed longitudinally.
