An International network supporting research examining the role of sensory functioning - vision, hearing, olfaction, touch, and taste - on health and aging.
Declines in more than one sensory function are common in late life, but there is limited, work examining the health implications of multiple sensory impairments. This network aims to build an infrastructure that supports the crosscutting, interinstitutional, and innovative research that is needed to catalyze sensory aging research efforts and achieve advances in this field at a faster pace. This network will accelerate research in this area via new collaborations, create novel resources (including the sensory databank), and generate tangible scientific studies.

Areas of Innovation
COLLABORATIONS
The Network will provide the infrastructure to foster cross disciplinary research by creating a forum for linking researchers across sensory modalities, across institutions, and across fields by developing a “one-stop” clearinghouse for researchers with sensory expertise, facilitating the integration of sensory aging science across other areas of aging research.
OPEN DATABANK
To facilitate the examination of sensory function across a diversity of populations, sensory data from across cohort studies of older adults needs to be combined. However, prior to combining datasets, we must first identify cohort studies measuring sensory functioning, create a data repository, and develop harmonization methods. The Network will create the infrastructure needed to achieve these goals.
INFORMATION HUB
This Network website provides a platform to not only list the activities of the Network and list the collaborators associated with each project, but also provide a forum for disseminating sensory aging research projects and results, post pertinent conferences, training, and funding opportunities.
