In the realm of aging and dementia research, our consulting services fill a crucial gap by providing expert clinical guidance and big picture support throughout the process. Recent studies reveal a concerning trend in aging research funding, with a significant portion of grants failing to include clinicians as investigators. Approximately 40% of aging-related grants do not involve clinicians in their research teams, potentially limiting the translational impact of findings and overlooking critical clinical insights. This underscores the importance of bridging the gap between research and clinical practice, a key focus of our consulting services. With a keen understanding of the complexities and challenges inherent in working with this vulnerable population, we offer a comprehensive suite of services tailored to meet the unique needs of each project:

 

• Methodology consulting: Helping design robust methodologies tailored to the specific objectives and constraints of each project.

• Study planning: Assisting researchers in meticulously planning every aspect of their studies, from conceptualization to execution. By leveraging our expertise in project management and research planning, we help researchers navigate the complexities of the research process and stay on track towards their goals.

• Statistical consultation: Collaborating with researchers to develop comprehensive and innovative statistical plans that address key research questions.

• Interpretation of results: Generating data is only half the battle; interpreting results accurately and meaningfully is equally crucial. We help researchers distill complex data into actionable insights, facilitating the dissemination of findings to diverse stakeholders and driving positive impact in the field of aging research.

 

By addressing critical gaps in aging research funding and leveraging our expertise across the research continuum, we empower researchers to advance knowledge, improve clinical practice, and enhance the quality of life for our aging population.
