Towards a Quantified Science of Engagement and Recruitment (GSA/LINC-AD Webinar Series)

March 8, 2023

This webinar will revisit the importance of diversity in research, define and discuss early metrics in recruitment / inclusion science, and deliver concrete suggestions to bolster diverse and inclusive research recruitment. It will overview inequities and barriers for research recruitment in dementia, describe current research in representation science (including a quantified, testable framework for future research), and offer what investigators can do to minimize barriers to research recruitment.

Presented by:

  • Jonathan Jackson, PhD, Executive Director, CARE Research Center, Massachusetts General Hospital, Harvard Medical School

The Alzheimer’s Association Leveraging an Interdisciplinary Consortium to Improve Care and Outcomes for Persons Living with Alzheimer’s and Dementia and The Gerontological Society of America have partnered to offer this cutting-edge educational webinar series related to psychosocial measurement, research design, and recruitment and engagement.

New Developments: Bridging the Family Care Gap (GSA Annual Scientific Meeting iSession Series)

March 7, 2023

This GSA Annual Scientific Meeting iSession Series provides participants with a forum for conversation on findings, limitations, and future work opportunities around a topic. Continuing from an interdisciplinary symposium presentation about creating a scientific and policy roadmap to offset the impending shortage of family caregivers available to assist older adults in the United States (i.e., the “family care gap”), this first iSession includes updates on caregiving as an emerging public health dimension; cultural humility and supporting caregivers; and policy developments and successes in caregiving.

Personalized Goal Setting in the Clinical Care of Persons with Cognitive Impairment: Measuring What Matters Most (GSA/LINC-AD Webinar Series)

February 28, 2023

This webinar will address different approaches to develop measures and achievement of personalized goals of care for persons living with dementia and their care partners, including the use of goal attainment scaling in research and clinical care. These new approaches develop measures that help determine if care interventions help persons with dementia and their care partners achieve what matters most.

Interorgan Communication in Aging (GSA Webinar Series on NACA Priority Research Concepts)

January 31, 2023

One of the National Advisory Council on Aging (NACA) approved concepts from September 2022 has recently published a Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) that invites applications to examine the molecular mechanisms and consequences of age-related alterations in interorgan communication. Elucidation of the mechanisms that modulate and coordinate organ interactions—and their changes with age—may provide new insights into multimorbidities. Additionally, such research may provide a broader understanding of the complexity and heterogeneity of aging. Learn more about this FOA and the opportunity for live Q&A with National Institute on Aging (NIA) administrators.
