Applied Research in Aging I

SW835, Section 001

This year-long seminar is designed to develop research competence in applied settings. During the fall term, the seminar will focus on research related to substantive and theoretical issues involved in exploring the relationship between aging and the health of older people (i.e., race/ethnicity, extreme old age, poverty, stress and coping and mental health). This seminar is primarily designed for pre- and post-doctoral fellows on the NIA project on Social Research Training on Applied Issues of Aging. Other pre- and post- doctoral participants are welcome after prior consultation with one of the instructors. During the Winter term, each student develops a product using applied research concepts.
