Mission
The mission of CAPS is to galvanize research illuminating how biosocial, relational, socioeconomic, and institutional forces cascade across the life course to generate disparities in health and aging. CAPS’s scientists investigate wide-ranging health disparities in the U.S., including NIH priorities associated with disparities by race and ethnicity, sexual minority (SM) populations, geographic location, disability status, and socioeconomic strata.
