Grant: Travel Awards - Institute Community Support

My graduate research centers on improving the quality of life for older adults. My project focuses on how physical activity can be used to prevent and treat age-related diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease. I am very eager to attend the CIHR Summer Program in Aging to extend my knowledge base on frailty and my collaborative network to continue to advance my research and impact in this field. The new information learned from this training program on improving care will be directly applied to enhance my ongoing research in aging. Specifically, I am very interested in learning effective strategies for engaging with older adults and their families, and developing my knowledge of research methods for studying this population. The CIHR Summer Program in Aging is a unique opportunity for me to develop my research program, enhance my analytical skills, and extend my collaborations with peers and mentors who share my passion for improving the quality of life in older adults.
