Research Initiatives
Basic research is the foundation for education, and the synthesis of research and education is necessary to develop effective evidence-based services. SCOSA Research initiatives help to translate research into practice (for example, through scholarly lectures, and continuing education offerings). SCOSA also supports and encourages original aging research by 淫性视频 faculty and students, sometimes collaborating with community agencies and researchers at other universities. SCOSA encourages publication and/or presentation of results from SCOSA-sponsored programs in scholarly journals and at professional conference. SCOSA promotes faculty development in gerontology by providing memberships and conference registration for faculty in the American Society on Aging, the Gerontological Society of America and other professional organizations.
