RESEARCH

The Center for Aging Studies is the hub for Erickson's faculty and student research capabilities. A multidisciplinary team of researchers representing Anthropology, Sociology, Health Services and Aging Services Research, and Gerontology are at the Center's core.

The Center serves to harness to ability to both teach and learn by performing research and demonstration projects. This hands-on approach encourages the development of not only students, but also full-time researchers and faculty at all career levels.

Striving to enhance the well-being of elderly persons, the Center works collaboratively with aging network professionals, policy makers, researchers, and aging service practitioners by sharing research findings and developing new research and demonstration projects that deal with real issues.
