Aging PCOR Learning Collaborative

Continue listening as Sophia and Taylor take a backseat and allow members of our older adults subcommittee to ask the questions. The older adult  subcommittee is a group of older adults who lend their valuable guidance to the Aging PCOR Learning Collaborative. We were lucky enough to  interview Dr. Paul Nash, a faculty member in the Leonard Davis School of Gerontology at the University of Southern California; one of the  premier Gerontology departments in the nation. Some of the main topics covered in these episodes are ageism and intersectionality. This episode is a great example of how allowing older adults to have a spot at the table can lead to some amazing outcomes!

Welcome to part two of "Who Funds This Stuff Anyhow?" where Sophia and Taylor will dive back into conversation about funding engaged research. In part 2, Gretchen Alkema from The SCAN Foundation and Marcus Escobedo from The Hartford Foundation join with insights from the funder's point of view. Tune in to learn how to better navigate the funding landscape and increase your chances of having your engaged research supported!

In this episode, Sophia meets with Kate Boyd, a Program Officer at the Patient Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI), to discuss the much asked question: "Who is funding engaged research?" Take advantage of the opportunity to hear from someone on the front lines of funding engagement, and learn more about how to get your engaged research project funded! This is a hot topic and we have another episode in store, so be sure to catch part 2 as well! 

Listen in as our student hosts, Sophia and Taylor, speak with Dr. Rachel Lessem and Dr. Rebecca Berman about the Bureau of Sages and the opportunities for researchers to participate in meaningful engagement. 

In this episode, listeners are introduced to the hosts: Taylor and Sophia.  These two students are interested in learning about stakeholder engagement when researching older adults.  Join them in learning as they sit down and speak with different experts on engaged research and highlight the importance of viewing older adults as partners instead of research subjects!  Listen to them talk with Dr. Erin McGaffigan and Dr. Marc Cohen about the Aging PCOR Learning Collaborative.
