Aging PCOR Learning Collaborative

Collective Insight, in partnership with the LeadingAge LTSS Center @UMass Boston, has been selected for a Eugene Washington PCORI Engagement Award funding to advance the work of the Aging PCOR Learning Collaborative!

The Aging PCOR Learning Collaborative: Advanced Engagement continues to push the research paradigm so older adults, including those from underrepresented communities, become research partners, not just research subjects. To do so, the Collaborative is offering educational resources and training to students, researchers, academic leaders, funders, and older adults.

Reimagining Expertise

In a world where research can significantly influence policies and programs, the voice of older adults often goes unheard. "Reimagining Expertise: Engaging Older Adults as Research Partners" explores the work of the Aging PCOR Learning Collaborative, a PCORI fund project administered in partnership with the LeadingAge LTSS Center @UMass Boston.

The Aging PCOR Learning Collaborative champions the idea that involving older adults as experts fosters research that is not only more relevant but also yields meaningful outcomes. Through powerful testimonials from older adults, including those from underrepresented communities, viewers will see firsthand the transformative impact of their engagement in research and program design. Accompanied by insights from researchers, the film highlights the tangible benefits of collaboration and outlines practical steps for fostering effective engagement.
