The UCSF Center for Aging, Discovery and Community (CADC) is a NIA supported RCMAR dedicated to understanding and reducing health disparities among older  populations.  Our primary purpose is to train and mentor talented junior investigators to develop independent research careers focused on health disparities and aging issues.  We do this primarily through our Scientist Program.  We also provide resources for health disparities researchers focused on career development, research methods, conducting community and clinical intervention studies, and developing self-report measures.  

 

CADC is unique. We combine the broad diversity of the San Francisco Bay Area; top-notch investigators who represent that diversity and are building research careers in aging health disparities; a multidisciplinary environment with clinical, community, social, behavioral, epidemiological, cognitive neuroscience, qualitative, and quantitative scientists providing mentoring and training; and our many community partners.
