Research
The Center on Aging works to promote and conduct basic and applied research on issues of aging with particular emphasis on the social, economic, psychological, and environmental factors that may improve the quality of life for older Kansans. Some faculty, students and staff engage in multidisciplinary research coordinated through the Center on Aging. Others pursue aging-related research within their disciplinary departments.
