Method This paper presents a case study of the I-70 Collaboration, which is composed of representatives from nine colleges and universities and seven businesses and agencies from Kansas and Missouri. The purpose of this initiative is to develop and sustain an interdisciplinary network for research and education regarding aging. Two models were used. The first model, called the New Cities Initiative, comes from the University of Kansas and investigates aging and architecture. Emphasis is placed on the design of intergenerational, technologically advanced communities1. The second model, from the University of Missouri, is the Center for Eldercare and Rehabilitation Technology. The Center is comprised of an interdisciplinary group of faculty, staff, and students who investigate, develop, and evaluate technology for older adults and others with physical and cognitive challenges2. There is an emphasis on aging and early intervention using in-home sensor networks for detection of early illness and functional decline2. A series of preliminary meetings were held with a small group of professionals who provided a list of potential collaborators. It was decided to hold a two day workshop as a first step in the development of a cross-state network of gerontology. A Research Investment Council Grant was obtained to cover the expense of this workshop. Results & Discussion A group of 58 people representing nine institutions and seven business enterprises attended a two day workshop to begin the foundational work for the development of a network3. A list of 11 action items were identified, including organizational and structural tasks and resource development tasks. Two leaders will co-chair this initiative, and a steering committee is being formed to help organize and develop future plans. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: abstract proceedings research Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
