Aging-Related Research Projects
CPR’s Aging Studies Program encompasses a range of activities including externally-funded research projects in the economics, demography, and sociology of aging. Funds provided by the National Institute on Aging have supported research on retirement migration; the relationship between body size and functioning at older ages; methods for projecting the health and well-being of the older population in the future; and long-term care arrangements. The Program has also developed an array of Internet-based resources for use in gerontological education. Research support has also been provided by the National Science Foundation, the AARP Andrus Foundation, the Social Security Administration, the Commonwealth Fund, and other sources.
