Older Adult Research Collaborations

At AgingIN, we don’t just believe in better care, we are committed to implementing what research has taught us and to work with leaders to discover what’s next. Through our Research Center, we partner with academic institutions, technology innovators, care communities, and the public to connect ideas with impact.

We are thought leaders who collaborate with researchers to engage citizen scientists, providers, and care teams who are ready to explore new ways of aging, caring, and living. Whether it’s testing new dementia care protocols, piloting technology, or evaluating workforce culture strategies—we are committed to building bridges between innovation and implementation.
