Senior Center Grant-in-Aid Project

Project Publications

IPA students, staff and faculty link the research of current issues and trends affecting older adults to the efforts of the Senior Center Grant-in-Aid Project by promoting accountability with respect to the state’s senior-center funding. IPA researches best practices, leadership approaches, and demographic trends to increase senior centers’ awareness of program and service enhancing methods while working collaboratively with government officials to project the long-term needs of the state’s older adult population. The following publications reflect the changing needs of older adults on both the national and state level.
