The Utah Commission on Aging has entered into a cooperative agreement with the Administration on Aging (AoA) to make it easier for people in Utah to learn about and access the full array of long-term care options that are available in their communities. ADRC programs provide information and assistance to individuals needing either public or private resources, to professionals seeking assistance on behalf of their clients and to individuals planning for their future long-term care needs. ADRC programs also serve as the entry point to publicly administered long-term supports including those funded under Medicaid, the Older Americans Act and state revenue programs.

The program received 21 very high-quality submissions, with proposals that spanned a wide variety of topics in geriatrics and gerontology, from relatively new investigators as well as established investigators who are new to aging research. Click here to view the awardees and their abstracts.
