The University of 51²è¹Ý<\/span> at M\u0101noa Center on Aging<\/a> is seeking participants for a national research registry aimed at increasing Asian American, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander (AANHPI<\/abbr>) representation in aging studies. In collaboration with researchers at the University of California San Francisco (UCSF<\/abbr>) and the University of California Irvine, 51²è¹Ý<\/abbr> M\u0101noa is launching a multi-year initiative to expand the CARE<\/abbr> 2.0 registry.<\/p>\n

Funded by the National Institute on Aging, the project builds upon an earlier UCSF<\/abbr>-led initiative called CARE<\/abbr> (Collaborative Approach for AANHPI Research and Education). This expanded phase seeks to recruit more AANHPI<\/abbr> individuals for aging-related studies while addressing barriers to participation and enhancing community engagement.<\/p>\n

“Our team in 51²è¹Ý<\/span> is excited to be part of this national effort to diversify research participation,” said Christy Nishita, interim director of the Center on Aging. “By partnering with community organizations, stakeholders and cultural informants, we aim to increase awareness of the value of aging research and ensure that findings reflect the diverse experiences of AANHPI<\/abbr> populations.”<\/p>\n

CARE<\/abbr> 2.0 eligibility and registration<\/h2>\n

Participants who join CARE<\/abbr> 2.0 may be contacted for research on topics such as brain health and caregiving. Studies vary in commitment, from one-time surveys to long-term data collection, and participation is always voluntary.<\/p>\n
