National Institute, on AgingThe NIA maintains a year-round scientific planning process that draws upon interactions with scientists throughout the world, members of Congress, the Institute's National Advisory Council on Aging (NACA) and other advisory committees, constituency groups, and the public. These interactions stimulate internal consideration of potential new research strategies and provide a broad perspective for refining plans. Emphasis is given to novel proposals and collaborative projects that promise to stimulate activities with other research organizations.NIH (National Institutes of Health)HealthPracticeoutreachinterventionsserviceResearchUS Department of Health and Human Serviceshealth disparitiesagingresearchminorityOther
