The Alberta Centre on Aging is an interdisciplinary research center at the University of Alberta in Edmonton, Canada.[1]
History
As a scholarly research center, the Alberta Center on Aging has historically worked to advance front-line research in aging through coordinated interdisciplinary efforts and through organizations with partners.[2]
In 1982, the University of Alberta introduced the Centre for Gerontology, which was sponsored by both the Faculty of Arts and the Faculty of Medicine; the centre was created "to enhance the understanding of the aged individual and of the aging process by mean of the support, encouragement, and facilitation of research in gerontology."[3]
The Alberta Centre on Aging began issuing publications in the early 1990s.[4] In 2007, the organization published Aging In Rural Canada, which was an annotated bibliography printed by the University of Alberta Press.[5] In March 2010, the Edmonton Journal announced that the Alberta Centre on Aging was receiving funding cuts from the University of Alberta.[6]
Research
In 2004, the Alberta Centre on Aging sponsored research from gerontologist Bonnie Dobbs which discussed the impact that aging can have on driving.[7] The Edmonton Journal explained that at the Edmonton Aging Symposium, "Dobbs stressed that it's not older drivers per se who are at risk, but those with impaired judgment."[7]
In 2010, the Alberta Centre on Aging supported Dr. Cary Brown in the creation of an online workshop and toolkit for families dealing with Alzheimer's and dementia.[8]
