National Institute on Aging Research Centers

The National Institute on Aging (NIA) Research Centers are dedicated facilities that focus on understanding how aging affects the body and mind. They conduct studies to find ways to improve health, prevent age-related diseases, and enhance quality of life for older adults. These centers also train researchers and share knowledge to advance aging science. By exploring areas like cognitive health, mobility, and chronic illnesses, NIA Research Centers aim to develop practical solutions that help people age healthier and more independently.
