CAARN facilitates connections between academic research partners and community organizations such as aging offices, Aging and Disability Resource Centers (ADRCs), public health agencies, and other organizations serving underrepresented older adult groups in research. These include Black, Hispanic and White older adults from rural, suburban, and urban areas. Academic partners specialize in conducting aging research that will develop future evidence-based health aging programs and technologies that are culturally tailored to Wisconsin’s racially and geographically diverse communities.
If you have an aging need in your community or would like to participate in the development of an evidence-based program that would address the health needs of older adults in your community, CAARN can connect you.
Interested in becoming a Community Partner?
Contact a CAARN Community Research Associate who will work with you to match your community’s needs and interests with an academic partner to co-develop a research project.
