The Center for Demography of Health and Aging (CDHA) is delighted to announce that its NIH center infrastructure grant has been renewed for a 6-year term.
CDHA is in its 26th year of supporting high-impact innovative social science and public health research on population aging and health across the life course. It also supports career development for emerging scholars and enables investigators to pursue new scientific opportunities and collaborations. CDHA’s intellectual community brings together more than 120 affiliates from 30 departments across the social and health sciences who pursue research in five signature themes: (1) Aging trajectories and health disparities across the life course; (2) Biodemography; (3) Place, health, and aging; (4) Health policy and health services; and (5) Demography of dementia and cognition.
CDHA Director Michal Engelman noted that “especially in the current uncertain federal funding terrain, this success cannot be taken for granted. At its core, the renewal of our center grant is a recognition of the amazing work that happens at CDHA, and it is a testament to our growing, productive, and accomplished intellectual community.”
With support from NIH, as well as much-appreciated institutional support from the College of Letters & Sciences and the Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research, CDHA is poised to move forward with exciting programming and new opportunities for collaboraton. Stay tuned for more information about upcoming events and opportunities in the months ahead.
