Research Institute for Aging

The Schlegel-UW Research Institute for Aging (RIA) is a charitable foundation dedicated to enhancing care and quality of life for older adults. Through collaboration, they drive practical research and apply the learnings in the real world. Research questions are shaped by the realities and needs of older adults, care partners, health professionals, educators and industry. They use what they’ve learned and develop resources, programs, education and training to influence practice and policy. In addition to supporting research and mobilization activities across a variety of topics, the RIA has four core programs Agri-food for Healthy Aging (A-HA) GeriMedRisk, Murray Alzheimer Research and Ontario Centres for Learning, Research and Innovation.
