Upcoming Events

This one-day online workshop will convene experts to explore how the rapid expansion of large-scale data resources is reshaping research on aging and Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias (AD/ADRD).

The purpose of this one-day virtual workshop is to bring together experts in the field to include current NIH grantees and future NIH applicants focused on the GUIDE model and/or other comprehensive dementia care models.

This virtual workshop will bring together leading investigators in spatial cognition and navigation research to foster cross-disciplinary dialogue and catalyze innovative collaborations.

CAPS Network Data Workshop

Declining fertility and the resulting aging of a nation’s population can affect a number of macroeconomic outcomes. By slowing labor force growth, it can reduce GDP, increase wages, reduce firm entry, and lower innovative activity. By increasing the demand for assets, it can reduce interest rates and raise capital intensity and labor productivity. Population aging can also strain public finances by increasing per capita government expenditure and reducing tax receipts, leading to higher levels of debt in the short run and requiring a fiscal adjustment in the long run. In these and other ways, population aging can affect economic wellbeing and on the distribution of income. The net impact will differ from country to country, depending on demographics, institutions, and policies.

CAPS Friday Seminar Series

The Conference Series on Aging in the Americas (CAA) utilizes research to augment knowledge about dimensions of healthful aging for people of Hispanic and Latin American descent. As this topic rapidly develops as a major policy and national budget issue, the CAA also aims to foster emerging scholars in the field. Iterations of the conference series, ICAA meetings, are held each year.
