This Aging Chat will feature a discussion on aging-related datasets available to PARC researchers and also will include information on how to apply for the Quartet Pilot Project Competition. Prior awardees will share experiences with the Quartet Program, provide advice on writing an effective grant, and outline how the pilot grant funding and research has facilitated subsequent applications to NIH or NSF. REGISTER NOW.
This PARC Aging Chat will feature the research of the Partnership to Improve Care and Translate Evidence for Seniors (PICANTES), which was established to foster and support partnerships between community nursing homes and academic research faculty to promote and facilitate the testing and evaluation of innovative approaches to improving care for older adults.

This research theme includes the exploration of early developmental circumstances that may be crucial for shaping how we age, including nutrition, infectious disease, social support, education, and gene-environment interactions prenatally and during childhood. This theme is firmly rooted in understanding aging as a process that begins at conception, rather than being a discrete stage marked by having reached a specific biological age. PARC associates pursue research on the early-life determinants of mortality and health in diverse domestic and international contexts. This Chat will focus on how PARC can facilitate the use of exceptional cohort and/or multigenerational data for these research questions, stimulate comparative research on the early-life determinants of aging, facilitate collaborations between PARC associates and across affiliated centers to enhance the understanding of life-course determinants of aging and possible policy-responses that can help reduce health inequalities stemming from early-life adversities that predominantly affect some subsets of populations.
