Mission

BCNAR will increase the overall capacity for aging research and leverage funding by bringing together individuals and organizations with an interest in aging research. The network will be a new and unique framework to transcend disciplines, research streams, institutions, community based organizations and health regions to encourage creative idea and knowledge development, design research strategies, facilitate research training, and undertake action and disseminate research information to effect change.

Vision

BCNAR will:

  • Enhance BC’s capacity for aging-related research.
  • Build bridges between university, community, government and private sectors.
  • Establish new and innovative partnerships amongst researchers, academics, policy makers, and providers.
  • Be the “first source” for health and aging research information, and networking opportunities for students, new and experienced researchers, community organizations, policy makers and managers, health services, professional organizations, media, and British Columbians.
  • Promote multidisciplinary exchanges of ideas and generation of new research directions
  • Make a difference in the quality of life of aging British Columbians
