Intervention Working Group
During monthly intervention working group sessions, a convener presents key issues related to their own intervention development and receives feedback from the group. Issues such as ways to effectively partner with community groups, novel study designs, and ways of developing intervention protocols are examples of topics that have been covered. Faculty and pre and post-doctoral and from other institutions are welcome to participate.
Time: 12:00-1:00 PM
When: Third Thursday of the Month

The Issue Is…Seminar Series
Our monthly “Issue Is… “ seminar series provides a forum for high-level and engaging discussions on research across the life course. Each month, a convener articulates a key issue related to aging, palliative care or health equity and leads the discussion. Participants include faculty and pre- and post-doctoral fellows from various disciplines.
Time: 2:00 PM – 3:00 PM
When: Third Tuesday of the month.

Our current main activities are monthly speaker series with leading scholars in caregiving science. Faculty and pre and post-doctoral who are interested in caregiving science are welcome to participate.
Speakers: upcoming presentations (view here); previous presentations (view here)
Time: 12:00PM – 1:00PM
When: Once a month on Wednesdays

Monthly Works-in-Progress Sessions of the Center for Transformative Geriatric Research
In collaboration with the Center for Transformative Geriatric Research, this group is a place to bring early, even embryonic, research ideas for super constructive feedback from colleagues. It’s an especially ideal place for T32 folks to get feedback on ideas under development, but is also great for faculty, post-docs, and staff.
Time: 12:00PM – 1:00 PM
When: Generally last Fridays of the Month (some exceptions)

NHATS/NSOC Datasets Work Accountability Group
This Work Accountability Group is for predoctoral students, postdoctoral fellows, and faculty conducting research using the National Health and Aging Trends Study (NHATS) and/or the National Study of Caregiving (NSOC). The goals of this group are to: 1) Set aside dedicated time weekly to work on individual research/analyses, 2) review any research/coding challenges and troubleshoot as a group, and 3) To foster collegiality and collaboration on current/future NHATS/NSOC research.
Time: 9:00 AM – 10:30 AM
When: Every Thursday
