The focus of this year's meeting will be "Building Your Research Program with an Eye Towards Implementation." We will hear from two outstanding speakers. Dr. Lona Mody will discuss her experience leading a research program to improve infection outcomes in vulnerable older populations, with projects ranging from translational work to interventions at the bedside. Next, Dr. Kevin High will discuss how to move science that has been tested in implementation science or comparative effectiveness research into implementation practice. After a Q&A with the speakers, we will move into roundtables to give attendees a chance to interact with the speakers and discuss efforts to integrate aging into the specialties. The meeting will conclude with a special award to Dr. Susan Zieman, formerly of the National Institute on Aging. Breakfast will be served.
