Sensory Aging, Late-Life Wellbeing, and ADRD Research Infrastructure to Catalyze Practice and Policy
Life Course
ISR, SRC
Project Summary
The goal of this project is to substantially strengthen a small but successful collaborative, international network the SENSE Network to accelerate and translate innovative research in sensory aging, Alzheimers Disease and Related Dementias (ADRD) and late-life wellbeing. The principal investigators launched the SENSE Network in September 2020. Building on past successes, we propose to leverage this research infrastructure award to address critical fiscal and organizational barriers that have hindered effective development in the field of sensory aging research. Objectives include:
- strengthening and expanding the SENSE Networks coordination of resources, data, and expertise through an expanded Steering Committee and creation of Cores (Data Collection, Harmonization, and Integration Core; Research Development and Mentorship Core; and Dissemination and Translation Core);
- creating novel integrated and harmonized data resources;
- generating tangible and actionable scientific knowledge;
- supporting and guiding research of early-stage investigators (including with the lived experience); and
- disseminating and translating new scientific knowledge to inform clinical care, intervention design, and sensory health-related policy.
