New Teams in Aging: Enhancing Aging Research Capacity in Canada

We cannot ensure that our programs and policies meet the diverse needs of seniors without a solid foundation of knowledge on which to base our actions; knowledge based firmly in research. The CIHR Institute of Aging is investing more than $27 million in research towards bold new initiatives to increase research capacity in health and aging by supporting unique teams.

Scientific teams are training young researchers, breaking new ground and generating the knowledge needed to inform not only our policy-makers at all levels of government, but also practitioners, service organizations and the public. The teams also share their best practices in training and knowledge transfer to the wider health community.

The CIHR Teams in Aging are described in our brochure: Enhancing Aging Research Capacity in Canada. An electronic version [ HTML | PDF (854 KB) | Help ] is available and a paper version can be sent upon request (lmealing@cihr-irsc.gc.ca).
