Overview
RRF funds research that seeks to identify interventions, policies and practices to improve the well-being of older adults and/or their caregivers. Preference is given to projects aimed at generating practical knowledge and guidance that can be used by advocates, policy-makers, providers, and the aging network. Of particular interest are:
- Interventional trials; translational studies; and health services and policy research
- Projects that build on the investigator’s past studies
- Proposals that include robust dissemination plans, if appropriate, to assure that findings reach audiences positioned to act on them
