The Greater Valley Area Health Education Center is funding a $25,000 grant in support of the interdisciplinary community outreach activities conducted by ATSU’s Aging Studies Project on the Arizona campus. This is the first major grant received by the University’s Aging Study Project.
ATSU’s Aging Studies Project is a university-wide program with a mandate for community outreach to elders and service agencies. The goal is to bring all students into direct contact with community-based elders, expand learning resources for students and community members, and provide opportunities for interdisciplinary clinical interaction to strengthen student capacity for the interprofessional teamwork needed especially for geriatric care.
