The Institute of Aging has a broad mandate to support research and build research capacity in the field of aging. From the causes, prevention, screening, diagnosis, treatment, and palliative care of aging-related diseases and conditions, to support systems, health services and health policy, the Institute of Aging research covers the full spectrum of knowledge about aging.
In its short history, the Institute of Aging has become a national leader in addressing health research priorities for seniors. IA initiatives not only link and support researchers located in universities and hospitals across the country, but also bring together different levels of government, practitioners, voluntary health organizations and seniors themselves.
Together the Institute of Aging community is working to increase our knowledge about aging, in order to help address the challenges facing Canada's growing seniors' population and to promote the elements of healthy and successful aging.
The CIHR Institute of Aging is part of the Government of Canada's commitment to providing our aging population with the support needed to live healthy, independent lives and to maintain quality of life in all states of health.
