As an older adult, you are an expert in your needs, care, and experiences. Your lived experience is expertise! That expertise is essential to improving research!

The Aging PCOR Learning Collaborative believes Older Adults should be engaged as research partners, not just research subjects! The Learning Collaborative offers training and other opportunities to older adults interested in bringing their expertise to the research process. Our program offers: 
  • Brief training on research basics so you can feel comfortable and confident speaking with researchers
  • Peer support from other older adults bringing their expertise to the research process
  • Conversations with engagement experts where you can build on your ideas and even develop your own research proposals
  • Opportunities to advise researchers and provide your perspective on their work

After you submit this request form, the Learning Collaborative team will reach out to you to learn more about your interests and explain our program. 

This program is provided at no cost to applicants.
