Looking Ahead

As we look forward to the challenges of the future, research is focused on improving health and well-being with college-wide research initiatives in the areas of aging and disability.

Center on Health, Aging, and Disability

The new Center is dedicated to the interdisciplinary study of health, aging, and disability. Teams of researchers from across the University and peer institutions will research healthy aging, individual empowerment across the lifespan, and independent living and full participation of older adults and persons with disabilities. The Center will provide a focal point, support structure, and catalyst for those interdisciplinary efforts, thereby intensifying their impact.
