Enhancing the health and quality of life in older adults, their family, and their kin
Since 1978, the University Center on Aging and Health has served as an interdisciplinary point at Case Western Reserve University for building and maintaining excellence in gerontological and geriatric research, education, and practice.
The Center's mission is to foster collaboration among its community of scholars, learners, and practitioners in order to encourage and coordinate innovative interdisciplinary research, education, and service programs relevant to the health and well-being of older adults.
State-of-the-art knowledge about the aging process and its implications for individuals, families, communities, and societies is advanced and disseminated throughout the community.
The University Center on Aging and Health has received funding from the McGregor Foundation and The President's Strategic Initiatives Fund to support interdisciplinary research on aging.
Priority will be given to junior, tenure-track faculty applicants with minimal off-campus funding who are beginning their university research program and to researchers making a change in their program of research to focus on aging. Proposals for the first funding cycle are due Friday, March 20, with notification of award by April 10. Proposals for the second funding cycle are due Friday, August 21.
