Grant Overview
Priority Outcomes for Aging Research in North Carolina
The Grants to Support Development Research for Aging Studies program aims to advance the science of aging in North Carolina through interdisciplinary partnerships and collaborations. The North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services, Division of Aging and Adult Services, is a key state agency that aligns with the goals of this grant program. By focusing on priority outcomes, applicants can ensure their projects address the most pressing needs in aging research.
Target Outcomes for North Carolina
To maximize the impact of the grant, the Banking Institution has identified specific priority outcomes for North Carolina. These outcomes are closely tied to the state's unique demographic features, such as its growing population of older adults and the rural-urban divide. Key outcomes include improving the health and well-being of older adults, particularly in rural areas like the Frontier Counties in western North Carolina, and promoting innovative research infrastructure to support aging studies. Applicants should demonstrate how their projects will contribute to these outcomes and leverage the state's existing research capacity, such as the resources available through the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill's Center for Aging Research.
When developing their applications, prospective grantees should consider the state's priorities, including addressing the needs of vulnerable populations, such as low-income older adults and those with Alzheimer's disease. The North Carolina General Assembly has emphasized the importance of addressing these issues through legislation and budget allocations, providing a supportive policy environment for aging research. By aligning their projects with these priority outcomes, applicants can increase their competitiveness for funding and ensure that their research has a meaningful impact on the lives of North Carolinians.
In terms of specific metrics, applicants should focus on outcomes such as the number of older adults served, improvements in health outcomes, and the development of new research infrastructure or tools. The grant program is particularly interested in projects that can demonstrate potential for scalability and sustainability, such as those that leverage existing initiatives or partnerships in the state. For example, the North Carolina Department of Commerce's Aging Infrastructure Fund could be a potential partner for projects focused on aging infrastructure.
Applicants should also be aware of the broader context for aging research in North Carolina. The state is home to a number of organizations and initiatives focused on aging, including the North Carolina Institute on Aging and the Alzheimer's Association North Carolina Chapter. By engaging with these stakeholders and leveraging their expertise, applicants can strengthen their applications and ensure that their projects are well-positioned to achieve their goals.
