What are the new dynamics of ageing, what are the influences shaping them (behavioural, biological, clinical, cultural, historical, social and technological) and how can their consequences be managed to achieve the maximum benefits for older people?
KEY RESEARCH QUESTIONS
THE NEW DYNAMICS OF AGEING RESEARCH PROGRAMME
THE NEW DYNAMICS OF AGEING RESEARCH PROGRAMME
Alan Walker, NDA Information Meeting, London, 23 July 2007 Alan Walker, NDA Information Meeting, London, 23 July 2007
• To explore the ways in which individual ageing is subject to different influences over the life course
• To understand the dynamic ways in which the meaning and experience of ageing are currently changing and becoming more diverse
• To investigate the diverse ways in which ageing is/has been understood and represented at different times and in different cultures
• To encourage and support the development of innovative interdisciplinary research groups and methods
• To provide a sound evidence base for policy and practice (including the development of prototype systems, procedures and devices) so that research contributes to well-being and quality of life
PROGRAMME OBJECTIVES
THE NEW DYNAMICS OF AGEING RESEARCH PROGRAMME
THE NEW DYNAMICS OF AGEING RESEARCH PROGRAMME
Alan Walker, NDA Information Meeting, London, 23 July 2007 Alan Walker, NDA Information Meeting, London, 23 July 2007
• Generate new knowledge on the ageing process and, particularly, the factors contributing to ageing well
• Deploy and develop new interdisciplinary perspectives on ageing research
• Encourage comparative research, for instance on a regional, (inter) national, ethnic, cultural, historical or social basis, with a particular emphasis on the global north/south divide
• Help to create a new generation of interdisciplinary researchers
• Contribute to policy, practice and product development
• Provide new opportunities for UK science to link with those in the EU and North America
• Identify opportunities for further research beyond the life of the programme

COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH PROJECTS (CRPS)
COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH PROJECTS (CRPS)
A multi-disciplinary team of researches and end users working in partnership to deliver a shared research, training and knowledge transfer agenda
• High quality research
• Multi-disciplinarity
• User engagement

Multi-disciplinaritySome substantial research problems cannot be addressed by single disciplines alone
Added value The whole is greater than the sum of the parts
Who participates?Academics
IndustrialistsPolicy makersOlder people
Charities
Responsive modeSingle discipline proposals should be sent to the most relevant Research Council
Rational for CRPs
Alan Walker, NDA Information Meeting, London, 23 July 2007
A CRP would be expected to have a core multidisciplinary programme of work with a set of overall objectives, led by a project coordinator
Workpackages feed into the programme of work, possibly led by different institutions or partners
What does a CRP look like in the NDA
