The Institute of Aging (IA) is a national leader in addressing health research priorities for older adults. IA initiatives not only link and support researchers located in universities and hospitals across the country, but also bring together different levels of government, practitioners, voluntary health organizations and older adults themselves.
Together our community is working to increase our knowledge about aging, in order to help address the challenges facing Canada's growing older adults' population and to promote the elements of healthy and successful aging.
---------------------------------------------------------------
L'Institut du vieillissement (IV) est un chef de file national en s'attaquant aux priorités de recherche en santé pour les personnes âgées. Les initiatives de l'IV non seulement mettent en contact et appuient les chercheurs dans les universités et les hôpitaux partout au pays, mais mobilisent aussi les pouvoirs publics, les praticiens, les organismes de santé bénévoles et les personnes âgées elles-mêmes.
Ensemble, les intervenants dans le domaine du vieillissement travaillent pour accroître nos connaissances sur le vieillissement afin d'aider à relever les défis auxquels fait face la population âgée du Canada et de favoriser les conditions d'un vieillissement sain et heureux.

Le compte rendu de l’assemblée annuelle de l’Alliance des bailleurs de fonds de la recherche et de l’innovation sur la démence est maintenant en ligne! Il met en lumière nos efforts de collaboration pour faire progresser la #RechercheSurLaDémence. Collaboration, retombées et viabilité : trois thèmes clés qui éclairent la voie à suivre: - Renforcement de la collaboration pour stimuler les avancées dans la recherche et l'innovation. - Définition des indicateurs de retombées, et mise en récit de nos succès. - Promotion de la viabilité grâce à des relations durables. En unissant nos efforts, nous veillons à ce que la recherche se traduise par des retombées concrètes pour les personnes atteintes de démence et leurs aidants. 🎉🤝🚀 Lire le compte rendu : https://lnkd.in/ghaHW-NN #UneVoixPourUnVieillissementCérébralSain #SantéCérébrale #démence #InnovationEnRecherche Alzheimer Society of Canada ALS Society of Canada Alzheimer Society of B.C.

This Black History Month, we’re proud to spotlight Dr. Akinrinade Ibukun, a CIHR-IA Research Excellence, Diversity, and Independence (REDI) Award recipient breaking barriers in science. Dr. Akinrinade‘s research focuses on bi-directional stress contagion and buffering—how stress spreads and is soothed in social interactions. By exploring how oxytocin regulates stress during the recall of stressful events, her work has the potential to transform our understanding of mental health and social support. The REDI Award supports researchers from underrepresented groups, helping pave the way for more equitable and innovative science. Let’s celebrate Dr. Akinrinade’s contributions to research and her inspiring journey! #BlackHistoryMonth #DiversityInScience #WomenInSTEM
