Center for Health in Aging announces 2023 pilot project awards

The Emory Center for Health in Aging has announced three innovative pilot projects, designed to spark new collaborations to promote well-being among older adults. The Emory Center for Health in Aging has announced three innovative pilot projects selected to receive up to $45,000 each for one year of study. The projects, which are designed to spark new collaborations and harness the creative potential of the Emory community, are a key tenant of the center’s mission to promote well-being among older adults. The selected projects represent multiple domains of innovation in aging across Emory. “From evaluating novel robot-assisted strategies to promote physical activity, to evaluating a novel drug treatment's potential to slow the aging process, to gaining insights about strategies to predict outcomes in cancer care, this year's pilot awardees exemplify the broad spectrum of translational research within the Woodruff Health Sciences Center.” says Dr. Camille Vaughan, director of the Center for Health in Aging.
