Our Research
CAPS seeks to expand population-based research on aging within three major research themes:
Biosocial Processes
How the dynamic interplay of biological and social processes affects the body, the brain, and overall health and aging outcomes.
Current NIH Awards to CAPS Faculty
Family and Social Engagement
How demographic patterns and trends affect family and other social ties, the kinds of social ties people have as they age, and how those ties affect health and aging.
Current NIH Awards to CAPS Faculty
Socioeconomic and Institutional Contexts
How socioeconomic and institutional contexts (e.g., state-level policies, neighborhoods, housing, workplaces, schools) shape biology, health, and the pace of aging.
