Evanston, IL (August 30, 2022) – Mather Institute, an internationally recognized
resource for research and information about wellness, aging, and trends in senior living,
announces the 2022 Innovative Research on Aging Award Winners. Now in their
seventh year, the awards recognize applied research that offers important implications
for the senior living and aging services industries to help them improve the ways in
which they serve older adults. With more than 55 awards given over the last seven
years, the Innovative Research on Aging Awards have awarded more than $43,000 to
researchers across the country since its inception.
“We’re working to bring research to real life. Sharing this important research reinforces
our commitment to encouraging innovation throughout all areas that affect older adults,”
said Cate O’Brien, PhD, Vice President and Director, Mather Institute. “We hope these
findings and ideas will benefit the senior living industry across the country and around
the world, as other organizations adapt the ideas and transform them into what we call
‘next practices’.”
