Alzheimer’s Disease Research Centers
Working to translate research advances into improved diagnosis and care for people with Alzheimer's.
Researchers at these Centers are working to translate research advances into improved diagnosis and care for people with Alzheimer's disease, as well as finding a way to cure and possibly prevent Alzheimer's.
The University of Washington hosts the coordinating center for this program.
Artificial Intelligence and Technology Collaboratories for Aging Research
Empowering innovation in AI/tech and aging.
The Artificial Intelligence and Technology Collaboratories (AITC) for Aging Research program, also known as the a2 Collective, includes three AITCs centered at Johns Hopkins University, the University of Massachusetts Amherst, and the University of Pennsylvania. The AITCs provide pilot awards, mentorship, and resources to support promising projects with the potential to improve the care and health outcomes of older Americans, including persons with Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias, and their caregivers through applications of artificial intelligence and technology.
Rose Li & Associates serves as the coordinating center for the AITC program.
Centers on the Demography and Economics of Aging
Helping to develop the fields of demography and economics of aging across the world.
The reach of the Centers on the Demography and Economics of Aging is global, with almost all involved in international projects, helping to develop the fields of demography and economics of aging in many countries. Centers support the infrastructure and pilot data collection to foster larger research projects; develop national and international networks of researchers; and develop methods for the analysis of state-of-the-art, often-longitudinal, social science data that contains complex, deeply-described phenotypes. Watch a video about the Centers on Demography and Economics of Aging here.
The University of Michigan serves as coordinating center for this program.
Claude D. Pepper Older Americans Independence Centers (OAICs)
This program named in honor of the late Representative established centers of excellence in geriatrics research and research career development to increase scientific knowledge leading to better ways to maintain or restore independence in older persons.
Wake Forest School of Medicine serves as the coordinating center for this program.
Nathan Shock Centers of Excellence in the Basic Biology of Aging
The Centers provide leadership in the pursuit of basic research into the biology of aging. They do so through a Research Development Core which administers small start-up funds locally, and organizes national annual meetings to highlight specific areas of research. In addition, each Nathan Shock Center has several specialized cores that provide services to Shock Center members, as well as for-fee services to the community at large. The cores are different in each Center, depending on the strengths of each Institution.
The American Federation for Aging Research (AFAR) serves as the coordinating center for this program.
Resource Centers for Minority Aging Research (RCMAR)
These centers aim to eliminate health disparities, a widely established national priority, which requires research that includes a special focus on the distribution of disease and disability between racial and ethnic groups in society. Increasing the effectiveness of interventions designed to improve their health and well-being.
UCLA serves as the coordinating center for this program.
Roybal Centers for Translational Research on Aging
The Roybal Centers are intended to develop and pilot innovative ideas for translation of basic behavioral and social research findings into programs and practices that will improve the lives of older people and the capacity of institutions to adapt to societal aging.
The Feinstein Institutes for Medical Research serves as the coordinating center for this program.
