Award to University of Pittsburgh for research on improving mobility, balance, and fall prevention among older adults, with a focus on developing preventive and therapeutic interventions.
Description
The overall goals of the Pittsburgh Claude D. Pepper Older American Independence Center (OAIC), funded since 2004, are to address the critical need to improve mobility, balance, and falls risk. We will continue to achieve these goals both through improved understanding of their causes and through development of preventive and therapeutic interventions. New for this renewal we will extend our work and partnerships into new and high potential areas and bring several innovations to our activities and Cores.
