Title: Information for Today and Tomorrow: Annual and Special-Topic Surveys for the Aging Network

Principal Investigators: William B. Ciferri and Suzanne R. Kunkel

Other Team Members: Abbe Linscott, Jane Karnes Straker, and Kathy McGrew

Description: The aging network is committed to successful planning, implementation, and improvement of innovative programs that enhance older people’s choices for independence. With funding from the Administration on Aging the Scripps Gerontology Center at Miami University is partnering with National Association of Area Agencies on Aging (n4a) and the National Resource Center on Native American Aging to support these efforts. We will accomplish this by improving the quality, timeliness, sensitivity, and utility of information about the aging network and for the aging network, and by enhancing the capacity of AAAs, tribal organizations, and their advisory boards to plan effectively for the future.
