Project Details
Projects that focus on racial and ethnic minority populations and/or low socioeconomic status (SES) persons are of particular interest. For all other categories, projects that explore the intersectionality of age, sex, race, and ethnicity and/or low SES with rural populations or SGM groups, and people with disabilities are encouraged.
This initiative will support research in outpatient, inpatient, institutional-based long term care settings, home-based care, and emergency care facilities serving diverse older adults. In addition, research that involves a partnership with relevant agencies that offer home and community-based services for the older adult such as home-delivered meals, case management, companionship programs, are welcome. Studies may involve in-person and/or telemedicine encounters.
This initiative is not solely focused on clinical health outcomes. Research on intermediary measures of non-clinical outcomes (e.g., trust, self-efficacy, self-autonomy, empowerment, safety, and resilience) are of interest.
