| Centre for Ageing Research and Development in Ireland (CARDI) |
CARDI has
been established to encourage collaboration among age researchers, disseminate research
information relevant to an ageing population and older people and advance the ageing
research agenda in Ireland (North and South). It
is funded by Atlantic Philanthropies augmented by grants from the Research and Development
Office for Health and Social Care, Northern Ireland and the Department of Health & Children in Dublin and is
hosted by the Institute of Public Health in Ireland. We
recognise that there is a wide range of research being undertaken in Ireland on ageing and
older people, however there is no central depositary where people can access this
information. In addition, a large amount of research is being undertaken which may be
relevant to ageing and older people but is not necessarily labelled as such. The first
stage of our work is the creation of an Ireland-wide directory of researchers, research
interests and research projects relevant to ageing and older people. You
can download a short form by clicking here,
which I would be grateful if you could take a few minutes to complete, or, if more
appropriate, pass to another colleague. You can also return the completed form to info@cardi.ie . The
information collated is intended to provide a useful reference point and has the potential
to help facilitate links between researchers and sectors. It will also capture the scope
of ageing research activities happening, specifically in Ireland (North and South) –
within Government, Non Government Organisations and academia, as well as collaboration
with national and international colleagues. This information will be made available on line
and will provide a useful way of finding out about the work of other researchers, research
organisations/centres and new and emerging research fields relevant to ageing and older
people. Please complete those sections you deem appropriate to share via the CARDI
website. If you
require any clarification, need further information or would like to find out more about
CARDI, please email: info@cardi.ie or telephone - 0044 (0) 28 90 690066. Thank you
for your time and support in this matter. Yours
sincerely Roger
